Board Rules and FAQ - Read before posting
In addition to the following, be sure to read the Stratics Rules of Conduct.
The Lake Austin Forum is a place for general discussion about Ultima Online, Lake Austin, and shard activites. Although Off-Topic (OT) posts will show up now and then, try to keep them to a minimum, and confine the discussion to one thread. If an OT discussion gets out of hand, a moderator may lock or delete the thread.
Rules:
Do not post bugs or exploits: Posting a "how-to" for any bug or exploit, regardless of how harmless the bug may seem, will result in an insta perma-ban. Also listing bugs and exploits is forbidden.
DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS IT IS OFFENDING.
No Spamming: Posting simply to increase your title or annoy people (just two of the many examples) may result in immediate and permanent banning of your account.
NOTE: If you have something of interest spanning many forums (contest, etc.), contact the new reporters and let THEM spam it for you. See the news post section below for details.
Keep personal attacks to a minimum: Besides losing the respect of the regulars here who feel you should be able to argue with someone's point of view rather than call people names, it often just sends people off-topic and really has no place here.
No pornography: This goes without saying. Posting pornography or links to it will result in an instant perma-ban. Do not test me on this! Don't do it to be funny. Don't do it and then say you didn't know. Don't do it and then blame it on your dog. Don't do it.
Player run shards: Player run shards violate the OSI TOS and may not be advertized or linked to on any stratics forum.
Signature Sizes
lease adhere to the following restriction for images that are not directly related to the topic of the thread under discussion:
Maximum size of image file(s): 35k
Maximum height of image(s): 125 pixels
Maximum width of image(s): 600 pixels
It should be noted that links in a message and Private Messages are regulated by the same rules as the post itself.
Poster Titles
The following is a list of titles given to posters on Stratics forums, and when you get them:
0 Visitor
31 Adventurer
100 Journeyman
300 Seasoned Veteran

From time to time, you will see odd titles such as "smitten kitten" or "inane poster". These titles are given to people who have made a large contribution to either stratics or the other posters here. Don't ask for one. If you
should get one, you will be contacted!
Chatting:
We are currently trying to get rid of the pure chatting on the boards, therefore, we've setup an IRC channel,
#Ultima-Online, on Stratics IRC server, if you wish to join this channel, please read the Stratics IRC instructions.
Addendum:
For the most part, the Stratics Rules of Conduct are no brainers and were only written down because of the response of the very small minority of people who apparently didn't know how to behave in public ("But how was I to know you weren't supposed to link to pornography?"). Some of the rules are not so obvious (like the signature size) and were added to make the forums run more efficiently (with 80,000+ users you need all the edge you can get) and the nice effects can be found in the FAQ which, like the RoC, has a link at the top of every page.
I guess that's about it, so above all, be respectful of each other and let's all have fun. /php-bin/shared/images/icons/smile.gif
