Talk about anything under the sun, unless it’s against the rules. You must have a member level of 3 or greater to post new topics here and a level of 3 to post replies.
Offending Accounts Admins and moderators DO NOT read all topics, if you find an issue with a topic (unacceptable post, porn, exploit, etc) Please copy a link to that members account, and a link to the offending page and send it to all of the moderators and administrators.
By doing this, you’re helping us help you. When an account is deleted, all associated posts disappear with it.
Offensive Messages, Exploits Occurring Simply blocking members is not enough in most circumstances. Those who have such little a life that they need to spam, will also have the time to make duplicate accounts. It’s no secret that there’s no E-Mail verification when signing up to the site, so this speeds issues. Your most potent weapon in this case is to DELETE people off of your friends list that you no longer talk to, or that are not important to the site (levels under 5). These accounts are expendable and can spam you. Now that you’ve done this, set your message settings to "accept from friends only". During this period, you should append "I only accept contacts from friends at this time" to outgoing messages and your profile. This will offset frustration for the parties attempting to contact you.
Harassment Offline Never give out your MSN, AIM, YIM, or other personal information to anybody. Accounts can be overtaken, and may attempt to attack you through social engineering. Posting your MSN, AIM, and YIM accounts opens another facet for attack on your non-RE accounts.
CSS Exploits It is possible to see exactly what account is posting undesirable code on the site.
...you agree that when using a Community, you will not:
Quote:
...Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Communities...
"You" being defined as the user of RottenEggs.
This post will serve as your one and only final warning. I will be strictly enforcing this rule, and users (regardless of "E-Stature") will be banned for such offenses unless the topic occurs in the sandbox under a topic titled "Testing Exploits". Excessive posting of these topics is also prohibited.
This is viewed as a breach of agreement by the aforementioned clauses and exploiting the sites usability by other members will (at minimal) forbid you from the site for a period of not less than 90 days. This may also include an account deletion and IP Ban.
k, now that shit is out of the way...
Copy/Pasted Eggs C/P! WWW.COPYFROM ME ^That’s fine...But stretching an egg, either vertically...or horizontally...will be cause for a ban. Why? Well, when the moderators and administrators enter the egg, they can drop the egg or delete it fairly easily. With a stretch, the buttons to execute these features stretch across the screen, and are hard for moderators to find. Do your part, report false eggs to Egg Moderators (AE, Dodge, filthysanchez09), or to an Admin (left_hand, right_hand, Clegg, Keiser).
If anybody can think of an issue that wasn’t covered, or anybody has a countermeasure of their own, please add it here. Stupid, irrelevant, or annoying posts will be removed.

I was looking for a rule to quote against use of the current ’cool’ exploit... That’ll work. Thanks, Toasty!
Also, if someone spams an egg, don’t post about the spam. That’s just adding more that doesn’t have to be there. Just report it to a moderator/administrator, and continue to post as if it weren’t there. Spammers are attention-whores. If everyone ignores them, they go elsewhere.

Very nice, Toasty! I have recently issued warnings to many members for stretching and spamming eggs for the very reasons you have stated. Also, the only friends I have accepted are the mods/admins (for easy reference).
