8 Years of Block Wars!

December 23, 2015, 11:11:34 PM by oh shit waddup

Happy 8 year anniversary!

8 years ago today I started the first Block Wars topic that would eventually produce the short film version of the machinima parody we know it as today.

Wow. That's the weirdest feeling. Cause see, 8 years is a long time, but 2 years is not a long time at all, and in 2 years it'll officially have been a decade since I first decided to start making Blockland machinima.

I just thought I'd let you all know that basically if it hadn't been for that first machinima we wouldn't have BLC today. So hoorah!

The Karma System

December 04, 2015, 12:58:44 PM by oh shit waddup

So basically I noticed back when setting up the forum for the clan that SMF has a karma system (that for obvious reasons Badspot doesn't use on the BLF).

Well, here on the BLCF, we'll be using it as a way to determine blacklisting members.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to create a system for guests vs registered members and I decided to just say fuck it and let anyone join the forums, cause why not. You don't have to be a member of the clan just to talk about Blockland videos.

So anyway, with that said and with the clan starting to gain more members that we might start using these forums more, I've decided to remind you all that the karma system is available.

If you think someone is a problem user who either has too many terrible ideas, terrible attitudes, or just is terrible in general, go ahead and give them a "fuck you." The amount of "fuck you" over "ya' done good" a person has will determine their quality as a member of these forums and if they continue to cause trouble without trying to rectify their situation (every person who gets to a certain low point of "fuck you" will be given one chance to try and redeem themselves) then they will be banned, or at least, dealt with accordingly.

Of course, try not to abuse the system. If you notice you're getting nothing but "fuck you" and know you're not breaking any rules or being a general dick (at least, you think so) then let me know and song long as you have proof you're being abused I'll clear your karma and ban anyone we find out is misusing their karma points (in fact, I'll add that as one of the rules of the forums as soon as I finish here).

And as for "ya' done good," those are also entirely optional and I'd suggest we save them for truly stellar moments of importance and not use them like "likes" on a Faceboob post.

So finally, I'm gonna sticky this topic but leave it open for discussion as I believe in creating an environment that encourages fair moderation, so if anyone ever has anything they don't like about the system or suggestions on better moderation or whathaveyou, here's the place to do that.

►►►Forum Rules

October 03, 2015, 05:55:22 PM by oh shit waddup

Some of these are from Blockland Forums

1. Do not post ambiguous topics - The title of your thread should describe its contents. If you are asking a question, there should be a question mark at the end. Ambiguous topics will be locked.

2. Do not post severely adult content - Softcore isn't exactly frowned upon if its in context, but use good judgement when posting content.

3. Use the Search feature before posting a question.

4. Think before you post - Completely unintelligible posts will be locked and moved to garbage.

5. Do not flame - If the entire point of your post is to tell someone what an idiot they are, don't bother.

6. Do not cross post. - Do not post the same thing in more than one forum.

7. No pyramid/referral schemes - No one is going to give you money or an iPod/flatscreeen monitor/xbox 360/whatever just for getting people to click on some crappy link. It's a scam to get you to spam forums for them. Stop posting this crap.

8. No chain-letter style spam - Copy and paste this message into 5 threads and you will be permanently banned.

9. Film ideas must be thought out - If you're going to suggest an idea for a movie, it must be in proper format else the topic will be locked and removed.

10. Do not abuse the karma system - Though this is generally harder to pinpoint, if you're caught downvoting someone for no good reason or orchestrating people to do this in order to get an innocent user banned, you yourself will be banned- no exceptions.
