It occurs to me that several people havn't either read or understood the rules, particularly "The Balls". A reminder that the rules need to be read. It's not as though they're too long or too restricting... hell, you'll only have to read them once if you try!
This isn't a thread chiding people about not reading the rules though. They're a new system unlike most others. I think the way they're all written is clear enough... and easy enough to understand. However, I might be wrong...
This is a thread for people to ask questions about the rules that clarify them. If a part of the rules is not particularly clear to you it can be amended so that it is. Note that "The Rules" refers to the the board "The Rules", not the thread "The Rules"... which I'll rename to "The Guidelines" so that that doesn't cause any confusion.
Also, who thinks the rules are good? Who thinks the rules are bad? Who would like changes to the rules? If that last one gets enough hits I'll create a new thread in "What do you want?"... but remember, the rules are pretty slack. Don't try to lessen them further.
So, what do we think?
EDIT: Oh yeah. The rules are not finalised. They change pretty often at this early stage. Any big changes and you can expect to me notified.

What if I have the option to give or take balls from somebody?
Well just because your ball queue has replenished, that still is no reason to give or take balls. Unless you have seen a member try to keep peace, do what is right even if is not popular, and so on as the Balls thread states. Not for things like mentioning Yori, or posting funny video, picture, post etc.
I'm also thinking the balls system is being mistreated. This morning I announced I had just cut off the 2 balls I earned for posting Willie Bum Bum. Now, they have returned in less than six hours. The six hours I slept. I like to think all of my major shit had already been read. If that is the case I cannot understand why I got them back. Really, it's not a race, it's not a power to be abused, otherwise it's pointless. I'm mean, am I right or am I right or am I right?
Honestly, I think someone out there thought Someone's taking Poly's balls! *click* And while I appreciate the sentiment, what if I had deserved it? This isn't what I think you think it is. I encourage you to ask around if it's that much of an issue. Look in threads I've posted in, see my interactions, if you can't find out why- it's information you'll have to miss out on. Not licence to give me +1 balls. Just wait soon enough I'll say something of merit and you have a reason to, but lets not continue slipping down the downward spiral we are on, PLEASE. We can be better than that.
