1. Only post your forum if you want it rated. This is not a forum to just advertise your forum. This also means no topics like the following:
* Join for Join
* Advertise at my Board/Promote your board for free
* No topics telling/asking people to join your forum !
* No 'make a forum with me' topics.
2. No I'll rate "your boards" topics. The whole board is here for people to rate boards, we do not need these kinds of topics. If you would like to rate peoples boards, please post your rating in the topic relating to that board.
3. If you are going to rate, please rate sensibly.
* 3a. Don't just give a '9/10' sort of post. Back up your ratings with ideas and suggestions, and compliment on what you liked about the board.
* 3b. Don't rate in an abusive manner. If you don't like their board, and can't think of a nice way of telling them, and giving them ideas on how to improve it, then just don't post at all.
* 3c. If you can't give a decent rating, please do not post. This is about quality of ratings, not quantity of ratings.
* 3d. Do not post in a member's thread unless you are going to include a full and proper rate with any extra comments you may have. Posting only to tell a member they have broken the rules would be considered mini modding and is not allowed and any other comments can be made by PM instead of needlessly bumping the thread.
4. If you are posting a board for a rating:
* 4a. If you get a bad rating, do not take it personally. You posted your board to get a rating, and there are three kinds of ratings, good, bad and on the fence, you will not always get the good ones. Peoples tastes differ, so please do not get abusive to a member who gives you a bad rating.
* 4b. Please do not use misleading topic titles. Please use either the title of your forum, or something to do with your forum's subject as the title of your GOAYB thread. Remember people will look for boards on subjects they are interested in.
* 4c. You may bump your topic only once every 12 hours. Bumping is any back to back post by a member. The thread creator should be the only person bumping the thread when needed. Do not delete your last reply and then reply again to bump your thread early. By doing this you're thread may end up locked.
* 4d. Please post the URL to your board. Also please do not refer anyone to your signature as it is decreed to be advertising which is forbidden in this board.
* 4e. Only post a board if you are the main admin of the board you are posting for rates.
* 4f. No asking for members or for people to join in your posts either. This board is only for receiving suggestions to help your forum not to recruit new members.
* 4g.No affiliate requests in posts or thread titles.
* 4h. If you do decide to post your forum, please make sure your forum is open to viewing. If your forum is in Maintenance Mode or set up for Guests must login, your thread may end up being locked. They shouldn't be obligated to join to help you.
* 4i. Please limit your post asking for opinions on your forum to a brief description of the basics of what your forum is about. It should consist of no more than 4-5 lines at most. Any further details about your forum should be posted on your forum not here.
5. Only create one topic asking for your board to be rated per 24 hour period. You may create a new thread 24 hours after the time you created your previous thread as long as it has not been posted in within the last 12 hours.
* 5a. A maximum of 2 threads per member is allowed in a 24 hour period. This means you may only post up to 2 different forums within any 24 hour period.
* 5b. Please post only ONE forum per thread. This way raters will not have to try and figure out what suggestions have been given for which forum. Also you will know that all suggestions given to you in that thread pertain to strictly that one forum.
6. Never, ever, ask for staff members. This is how many boards get 'cracked', because people give staff powers to people they do not know nor trust. So promote staff from within your forum, loyal members who have been there for a long time, and who you feel could do a good job when your not around.
9. If you are banned from this forum then your Board is banned from GOAYB.
10. Remember that this is meant to be a fun place to be, so enjoy and have fun.
