* If you want to start a thread about someone winning after an event has aired, add spoiler tags on the title.

* Spoilers in the title are not allowed. ie. You are not allowed to write the result in the thread title.

(Example - If Cm Punk won a match you can't write - Yes CM Punk won at Survivor Series ) (But you write - Yes he won {Possible spoilers inside})

1st Violation: You will recieve a infraction.

Discussion of important wrestling topics is the nucleus of our forums. Naturally, we encourage everyone to participate in the forums as much as possible to drive discussion, debate with others, and produce new topics. We have provided many different sections to our forums that allow everyone to participate in many aspects of discussion, focusing mostly on professional wrestling.

We all know how exciting it is to create new threads and see the replies and reactions from other posters about the subjects and issues that we choose. The creation of new topics is strongly encouraged by our staff, and we all look forward to the new topics that we can debate about on a daily basis. But many posters don’t seem to understand the amount of work it takes for the mods and admins to keep DesiRulez Forums one of (if not THE) most organized and clean forums on the internet.

As the DesiRulez Forum staff, part of our job is to consolidate your new threads and ensure they have been placed in the proper sections (if you failed to do so.) Therefore, we ask that you follow this Thread Creating Etiquette in order to make our jobs easier:

I. READ THE FORUM RULES!!!

There really isn't a better way to say this. This guideline should be followed first and foremost when thinking about doing ANYTHING on this forum. Our rulebook contains every which way possible for posters to avoid any type of warnings or infractions, to post properly in every section of the forums, and gives you direction and guidance on everything that is in regards to our forums. There is no reason the rulebook shouldn't be the first thing you all read before even thinking about posting a new thread in any of the sections.

II. Check ALL forums and subforums for possible duplicate topics BEFORE posting your new thread.

If anything at all, this is the most important form of etiquette, since it will cause you to be warned/infracted if it is not followed.

A good rule of thumb is to check the first four pages of threads within the forum. If you see a subject that is even remotely similar to the one you’re about to post, please reconsider posting your new thread or consult a member of the staff and find out if it is a Duplicate Topic. Since it’s one of the easiest rules to follow on the forum, we'd hate having to infract you for this rule but we’ll still do it every time.


III. Put some EFFORT into new threads.

There is nothing that annoys staff more than when posters create threads that they put little to zero effort into. If you don't want to put any effort towards your thread, why should anyone else?

For example, threads that (basically) mimic front-page stories on Desirulez.net are lazy ways of making threads. Especially when said poster cuts and pastes the story into the thread and writes "Discuss." It might be a good idea to take about 2 extra minutes and try to think of your own, ORIGINAL thread topic.

Knowing all of this, we'd appreciate if your opening post is ORIGINAL, includes YOUR opinions on the topic, and DOESN'T look like this:
Quote:

Originally Posted by Lazy Poster Mark Henry wins the World Heavyweight Championship Mark Henry just defeated Randy Orton and won the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions!!!! Discuss here.

The purpose of topics are to create discussion within the rules of the forum. As staff, we frown upon posters who violate our spamming rules in the opening post of a new thread. If your opening post is a spam post, you can expect more spam to be posted in the thread and this causes more work for the staff. Please keep that in mind.

IV. Please use proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization in thread titles.

We’re not judging you if you’re not the best speller in the world. If you’re posting within the thread, we don’t expect you to write a 5-star novel with perfect wording, punctuation, and grammar. But, at the very least, please keep the thread title as neat as you possibly can. It takes a lot of time for us to constantly correct your grammar.


V. If you are unsure and you believe that your new thread could possibly break any of these guidelines, CONSULT A MOD/ADMIN FIRST PRIOR TO POSTING.

This is self-explanatory. It’s easier to ask for permission than forgiveness on our forums. It only takes about a minute to PM a member of the staff to ask them if you’re following the proper guidelines when creating a new thread. If you’re on the fence as to whether your new thread may borderline break these guidelines, consult a member of the staff, first.


VI. Only english is allowed in this section


Wrestling is viewed all over the world so it's very important that you post in english in this section cause others might not understand what you are saying if you use a different language. If you post in other language then it might be deleted or edited in english by other mods.



Thank you for taking the time to read and follow these guidelines. By doing so, you’re solidifying this forum’s reputation as the best on the internet.

HAPPY POSTING, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO REPLYING TO YOUR NEW THREADS!

Small question AJ, at what point in the timeline of an event do we assume it's not a spoiler anymore? Say CM Punk's shoot back in July, would the airing of the next RAW be kind of the cut-off point where it becomes assumed that people know what happened and can post about it freely?

Yupp because they continued to shoot but that show was telecast next week. So you see I don't want the excitement to fade off.

So, rule of thumb is before say next weeks SmackDown (16th Dec), this weeks Smackdown (9th Dec) events are still classed as spoilers if posted, yar?

See 16dec SD is recorded on 13 Dec so the results are there on the wrestling news site so if you post them here on DR so dat would be a spoiler because the show hasn't been aired yet. I hope you get my point.
