| Chao Club's Main Rules & F.A.Q!
Hello, and welcome to CC! You are awesome and you should feel awesome. I am CC, the forum itself. I’m glad you’ve decided to become a part of me, and the fact that you are reading this page proves that you are clearly a better person than the average internet user. But, unfortunately, you’re still only human and will inevitably fuck up. Luckily, since I’m not and therefore don’t, I wrote this comprehensive list of rules.
The Rules
Don’t be a Dumbass
The first and foremost rule is to not post stupid shit.
- Don’t try to impress anyone with your posts; you’ll just look like an idiot.
- Don’t try to be the “wacky hilarious” guy, because you’re not.
- Memes are never good. What’s so great about being the five millionth person to copy someone else’s joke?
Being a dumbass will result in your post(s) being deleted and a warning of up to 30% according to the mod’s discretion.
Don’t be a Dick
The polar opposite of the dumbass is the person there to tell them they are. That’s not your job.
- Don’t flame other members. You have no excuse for being an asshole here.
- Do not post other members names, personal info, whatever. It’s creepy, and no one likes that person.
- Do not follow a member around the forum to troll them, or reply to their every post with the intent to insult them. It takes a special kind of unlikable person to do that.
- Do not make a thread to advertise your website, adult webcam, what have you. Use your signature.
Being a dick can net you up to a 40% warning and, again, all of your offending posts being deleted.
Don’t be a Delinquent
This big three syllable word is devoted to the faction that can cause the most trouble.
- Do not spam the board with ridiculous threads. Likewise, do not reply excessively to a thread with irrelevant posts.
- Do not hijack a user’s account. Whether you hacked it, guessed their password, or they gave it to you. Do not do this; it is grounds for an immediate and permanent ban.
- Do not knowingly utilize any glitch, regardless of what it is, that can either give you advantages over other members, or annoy them.
- If you were banned, you deserved it. Do not try to bypass it. You can appeal your bans, however.
- Keep signatures at 300 pixels tall or lower. Breaking this rule will result in your signature being removed.
- Do not stretch the board. Just don’t FUCKING do it. Before you post something large, hit the “preview” button. If it stretches the horizontal OR vertical margins of the page, either link to the content or don’t post it.
Being a delinquent has no maximum warning level, you can be banned on your first offence if it is heinous enough.
However much time I may spend writing down rules, there will always be questions. Therefore, I'll answer some of the most common questions asked of me.
F.A.Q.
Quote:| I noticed you guys don’t have any policy on swearing, as far as I can tell. Is that true? |
|
Yes, we definitely have a swearing policy, just not one that most forums would use. You see, other forums prevent words such as “ass”, “shit”, or “fuck” because they find them distasteful. The members therefore cope by using euphemisms for these words such as “butt”, “crap”, or “hotdog giving a donut the ol’ in-out-in-out”.
We here at CC, however, find these phrases to be silly, immature, and downright insulting in the way that they try to disguise one’s real intent. Therefore, we employ anti-censors that will replace those silly phrases with a real man’s wording! Fuck yeah, long live the modern English language!
Quote:| What actually is this "warning" you speak of? |
|
Well, Jimmy, a warning is when someone has been extremely stupid. When this happens a moderator, using his or her keen idiocy detecting senses, will find the post and give that member a warning. This takes the form of a bar underneath their displayed name somewhere between one and one hundred. Every warning adds to the bar, depending on the severity of the offense. If it hits 100, then your ass is banned.
Quote:| Most other forums have member ranks for a certain amount of posts. Do you do that, CC? |
|
Yes. Yes I do. It is one feature my lesser brethren have that I emulate, because frankly they’re fun to have and if I get in the mood I can replace all the titles with embarrassing body parts. The ranks are as follows
0 – You don’t get a rank! Go, my children! Go out and earn your wings!
25 – New Member
50 – Beginning Member
100 – Regular Member
200 – Active Member
500 – Just A Member
800 – Experienced Member
1000 – Kilomember
1600 – 16 Inch Member
2500 – Dual Core Member
3500 – Quad Core Member
5000 – Extreme Member
7000 – Legendary Member
Quote:| Hey…. What is this “CC Cash” I see? And for another, probably totally unrelated question, what is the store? |
|
Whenever you post, you earn CC Cash. The amount you earn depends on the post itself, whether it was a reply or its own thread, where you posted it, and how often you post in that board. Once you have this glorious number in your profile, you can use it to pay for favors (not that kind, hopefully) or just to measure your e-peen.
As for the store, it is where you actually spend the money. Members are able to open up stores to sell whatever they want, usually taking the form of customized skins, stars, avatars, or signatures. But that is most definitely not the extent of what can be sold, not by a long shot. Sell anything you can. No one wants your bod, though. No one.

You were banned because you didn’t read the rules. You were probably a dumbass AND a dick. The ban notice gives you all the information you’ll need to send an appeal, as well as info for how long your ban lasts.

Some things to pay attention to: names, titles, stars, personal area, user questions, music, and friends.
By earning enough money, it is possible to purchase the ability to color your name in order to stand out, change your custom title displayed beneath your rank stars, or your rank stars themselves. Go ahead, have something witty and wacky for a custom title and your favorite anime girl’s head for your stars. Yep, no way we’ll forget who YOU are!
Your personal area should be thought of as your wall. Post anything you consider noteworthy and worth sharing. I personally like when I click on someone’s profile and just see some extremely cool image, or a meaningful quote. Go on, surprise us. Also in your profile are a series of user questions. These are the best way to individualize your profile. Describe the movies, books, and products you enjoy, you are what you buy!
Finally, we have your profile music and your friends and enemies list. Your profile music is the song you want everyone else to think of when they view your profile. After all, nothing says “Single, 25 year young female” like Evanescence, right? As for your friends list, yeah, that’s cool and all, but a lot of forums have friends. However, I don’t run on good feelings and hugs. I run on anger and loathing, so I also employ an “Enemies” list. It works the same way as your friends list, but sends the opposite message! Just go to your profile and enter the username (not the displayname) of whoever you want to be your friend or enemy. | | | Link to Post – Back to Top |
