Forum:Forum Policy

Hello! As many of you may know, we will soon be making changes to our forums. A community discussion has already started here. As proposed by yours truly in the comments section of that forum, there needs to be a clear policy about forums. Why? Well a clear policy would inform users what is appropriate and inappropriate for a forum. I have laid out a few general ideas out below.
 * No advertising, spamming or soapbox content
 * Forums should be related to one or more of the following:
 * Related to the Halo Universe. In other words there shouldn't be forums talking about "what is the coolest weapon in Call of Duty?"
 * Important announcements, such as proposals
 * They should be easy to read and understand.

Of course this can be amended if need be.-- Commander   Spartacus  ( Tenth Roman   Battalion ) 17:02, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Comments
Please add any comments on what can be changed here, along with any opinions on this.

Also consider the rules for the three categories (or at least make separate rules for each category). :) — subtank  17:07, 21 December 2011 (EST)

I would add that forums should be at least a paragraph long or face deletion. I believe the old blog policy went similarly to this. This way, we can avoid things like; "Do you think this character/weapon/vehicle should be in (or should have been in) a particular Halo game."--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 17:11, 21 December 2011 (EST)
