MyBB Community Forums

What would you think some good forum rules would be?

Well the basics would be:

DO NOT Swear or type abusive language whithin posts or when creating threads
DO NOT Spam in posts, Please type 10 words or more. Also don't just post a smilie and no text.
DO NOT create two topics of the same topic in different forums
DO NOT Flame other people

you might want to use the ones from registration, they are good enough for me

I agree with k776. Another option is searching other message boards that you visit and see what they have to get ideas.

Thanks I like what k776, its descriptive and to the point

Do not talk about politics and/or religion.

What if the site is about politics or religion?

I wouldnt care about talking about either of those as long as its not negative , and i like a good debate as long as it doesn't get out of hand

I set my rules very strictly, and they seem to be working pretty good:
