In an effort to reduce the amount of spam, trolling, and offensive posts, Team Sharenator has come up with an updated Terms of Service. Soon it will be posted in a place where it can be seen from every page, but right now I will post it and update it here.
Posts and comments containing:
SPAM Links / any form of unsolicited advertisement (to other sites or spam sites)
Nudity
Animal sex
Graphic Violence
Offensive posts
Debates are ok, but rude, insulting, attacking, hateful, profane, threatening comments are not allowed. Be polite! Any offensive posts will be deleted.
Cheating
You are allowed to register multiple accounts (or novelty accounts) on Sharenator, as long as you use them fair. Use of multiple accounts to uprate your own content is not tolerated. Points generated this way will be removed either automatically by anti-cheat bot or by administrators. Cheating may result in a permanent ban.
Abusive downrating
Please downrate posts and comments only when you think they are inappropriate or when you genuinely don't like the content being posted.
Abusive downrating is:
When you start downrating for no other reason than to lower someone's point count
Blind downrating of every post and/or comment
Spam/advertisement of posts
Advertising posts or other websites in other peoples posts is not allowed. That's not what the response function is there for.
Very short comments that add no value and serve no purpose other than to up ones point count can be considered spam. Example: if you start randomly posting "cool", "I dunno" and similar comments in every post, your comments may be deleted.
Any posts that are also "reposts" will be deleted. It will only be deleted when a moderator confirms that it is in fact a reposted topic/picture/game/video.
"Bumping" posts by posting comments like "BUMP" will get instantly deleted".
Any posts or comments deleted by a Moderator should not be reposted regardless of what the post or comment contained.
ANY VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE MEANS THAT YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED. REPEAT OFFENSES WILL RESULT IN AN I.P. ADDRESS BAN!
MODERATORS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE IF ANY POSTS OR COMMENTS VIOLATE THE TERMS OF SERVICE.
ANY POSTS OR COMMENTS DELETED BY A MODERATOR SHOULD NOT BE REPOSTED REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE POST OR COMMENT CONTAINED
Btw you didnt add porn to the list... people might try be smart asses and claim that wasnt in the terms
Cutting a watermark off of an image, taking somebody elses name off of it, or replacing it with your own is not allowed. Anybody violating this rule will be instantly banned, this is a warning to everybody.
this should really help get rid of all of the junk material on this site that is completely useless
And if random comments, like 'cool' will be deleted... I think you can delete 80% of Peace's comments.
*use the accounts **fairly** sorry XD i just had to point that out haha.
Kinda like what you did to this post.

May I make one like him and if "yes", under what conditions?
Pretty much if you expect to make posts on this site and advertise your site/blog, expect to get deleted.
And just 'cus:
So we should be deleting this we think... xD
Once again, Ember is just sayin'.
PlEase don't think I am saying all moderators are bad but there are some bad eggs who are destroying the public perception of the moderators. It would appear that even so e moderators need to be moderated.
Thank you for your concern and comment though. Here is an eight ball of catnip and some milk as a reward.
Ember doesn't understand a lot of what has been going on due to work but, If what Ember has been seeing bits of is right Ember would probaly start moderating the moderators (respecfully, and everyone else in the comments). Ember would prefer if people didn't argue but they don't seem to understand opinions though.
Ember was not there though so she will be trying harder in the future so we don't have a repeat of arguments/misunderstandings. Ember will not be taking sides though because Ember does what she wants.
Also, CATNIP HELLS TO THE YEAH!
24 hasn't had a problem with anyone on the site and tries to keep it that way always, 24 likes the idea of mods being moderated but believes thats kind of the purpose of admins. any ways 24 has been trying to stop arguing and would appreciate if johne left him alone. 24 comes to the site to enjoy it same as everyone else and finds that johne has been un accepting of any claim to his role in this.
seriously though i'm trying to be fair as i can here but he's been pushing his luck, i would seriously appreciate if someone would talk to him. enough is enough i come to this site to enjoy it not to be attacked daily.
Enter Embers military learnings.
Also, when you are speaking to someone who is replying angrily you should not even reply back in anger, you are the example. If someone sees someone who is in a leadership role do something those under them will think it's okay. We have a lot of people to moderate and that means a lot of people to follow our example. One must always remember that the senior member will be held accountable if 24paperwings responds improperly it looks bad on him. If NotJohnEcash responds improperly it looks bad on him. But the differince is 24paperwings should know better.
No one can control another persons actions but we can control our own. Ignore NotJohnEcash and remember your... moderater bearing... let's go with that (Military bearing doesn't work here).
Ember will be impartial in this as she doesn't hate anyone here. As Ember said she will monitor the arguments/comments closer when she is not on duty. Ember will talk to NotJohnEcash when things get out of hand. Likewise Ember will remind the moderaters when they are starting to lose their bearing in a situation. Ember hopes her fellow sharenators will do the same for her and others if the time comes.
TL;DR Don't lose your bearing no matter what is said. Your bearing is more important then air. MORE IMPORTANT THEN BACON EVEN.
Also, have a picture. Or six hopeing that you haven't seen at least one of them. Also also, makes Ember feel like she wasted less of you time. Ember didn't waste 24paperwings time did she? DID SHE! *cries* Ember will go stalk someone else now.
Any fool can try to defend his mistakes--and most fools do--but it gives one a feeling of nobility to admit one's mistakes. By fighting, you never get enough, but by yielding, you get more than you expected.--Lawrence G. Lovasik
However when you are talking to someone you are joking with fuck off would be taken as a joke. for example http://www.sharenator.com/rAnDOMZZ_XD/#362370
Ember said "SHUT UP VANS, NOBODY LIKES YOU!" Ember meant it as a joke and Vans knows it was a joke as we tend to joke around http://www.sharenator.com/Gangnam_Go_Go_Go_2/#362247. If Ember and Vans were in an actual argument it would have counted as breaking the ToS. But we weren't so it won't.
(Examples ftw)
"Cheating
You are allowed to register multiple accounts (or novelty accounts) on Sharenator, as long as you use them fair. Use of multiple accounts to uprate your own content is not tolerated. Points generated this way will be removed either automatically by anti-cheat bot or by administrators. Cheating may result in a permanent ban."
When the anti-cheat bot starting working, his points went right down, and he also appeared to be using multiple accounts to bump his posts to the front page. So if anything NJEC here should be thanking the mods for not swinging the ban hammer on his new account.
