Basic MoTD

[Gkoo 3]

Makes sense, general rules should be first! Has been edited.

I like you

Also, to kind of add on to what i said before, there are problems with people understanding the MOTD almost every other day, and not only new players,even regulars, so if anything, we should add more clarifications to certain rules than take stuff off of it, even if it is shorter to read, and more simple. It takes a few minutes to read it how it is already, its not hard, if you feel you will be a dedicated player to the servers you should be able to dedicate two minutes of your time reading the MOTD.

You sound like someone telling fat people to dedicated 30 minutes of their day exercising. How well does that go over?

The reasoning behind making the Basic MoTD is so that people will be more inclined to read the rules if it's shorter and straight to the point. Keep in mind that this will attract 'one-time' players who are just playing to have fun every now and then and only want to know the basics.

 

It is also why there is a link provided to our Complete MoTD in it, so that players who take it more seriously and want a further more detailed understanding can do so by looking over it.

 

This way, we can keep two separate copies, one ingame which we don't have to worry about updating, and one that we can make as detailed as we want without fear of making it Too long (since it's for those who want to go indepth) which will remain in CS:S Discussion.

Kinda like DeathGod said, I think some general server rules should be added as well, as the general server rules are just as important (if not more important) as the motd for Jailbreak itself (e.g. no advertising, no racism, no porn sprays, etc.). See this thread: General Server MOTD/Community Rules.

Just my own little summary, feel free to edit/format this however you want:

 

GENERAL SERVER RULES:

-------------------------------------------------------------

1. Do not advertise on our servers.

2. No cheating on our servers (this includes wall-hacking, aimbot, etc).

3. Do not impersonate other members or admins.

4. All sprays and avatars must be PG- 13 and cannot have nudity in them.

5. No using voice changers in-game.

6. You must have enough legible characters in your name so staff is able to target you.

7. Do not bring up or make remarks to political stances, religions, leaders, nations or touchy subjects.

8. No racism or sexism in an insulting manner is allowed.

9. Lastly, and most importantly, admins have final say about decisions in-game, do not pester or bother them.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Once again, feel free to make improvements/criticism.

Well since the more advanced MoTD is more in detail, we should just leave the normal one there and then the basic one as a link at the top when they start reading, @@Forest

[Gkoo 3]

I say we just link them to the general server rules.

@@Gkoo @@DarkWolf6052 @@PiNoYPsYcHo @@HighSociety for your final opinions. Look at the Original Post for the Basic MoTD. If we are all in agreeance, then it'll be implemented as soon as possible for the MoTD ingame

Love this version more. Simple and easier. Not a fking harry potter series! :D

Only thing I would suggest changing is add the part where you put the link to the full motd to the very top, it makes sure there is no excuse for the rule breakers. If its at the bottom they may legitimately miss it and not realize there is more, plus putting it at the top makes it easier for anyone who wants to access it.

[diabeetus 20]

@@Forest can we see an updated version plox?

[Forest 309]

put the link to the full motd to the very top

Has been done! It is now located below the General Server Rules

 

updated version

The Updated MoTD is in the Original Post under "!!!Update!!!"

6. You must have enough legible characters in your name so staff is able to target you.

IDK if u changed or not but, doesn't this have to be 3 legible characters at least instead of "enough"?

Nobody knowas what enough means

I copied everything from that list just about word-for-word from the general server rules. 3 characters is the minimum amount of characters needed for staff for target someone, so 3 characters would be "enough" in this case. The rule is much longer on Silence's original post, but I decided to shorten it just so it wouldn't appear excessive. I linked the thread in my post before my most recent one, so if you want to check out the thread the rule will probably make a little more sense in the original form.
