Free Easy Rules, Tips, Lava Messages, and Welcome

[LogicaLucidity]

Here I will provide anyone with a free set of Rules, Tips and Lava Messages.
All are colored coded and have been in use on my server for many months.

I know a lot of you are wondering why I would make such a post.
Well, I have been to nearly every server over my two plus years of building and administrating.
You would be surprised at how many servers lack rules and structure.

The following can be used by anyone for anything.

My simple Nine Rules cover nearly any and all ill activity a user may display on your server.
Rules 8 and 9 are vague enough to allow an Owner to justify anything.
They are color coded for an easy read and formatted for visual appeal.

I know the server comes with Tips, but they are all in CAPS.
I have altered them a bit and changed them to a lower case format.
They are color coded for an easy read.

The lava messages are a combination of both Rules and Tips.
Allowing the server to pop up a rule or tips every few minutes ensures your users will know them.

The Welcome massage should always include your Rules.
This ensures that they have no excuse when they are cited.
If a user is forced to view the rules upon entry then they can not deny they ever saw them.

Here are my 'Rules' and 'Welcome'.
You place the following text in your 'Rules' text file and you 'Welcome' text file located in your 'Text' folder.
NOTE: Be sure to replace the 1 instance of [INSERT NAME OF MONEY HERE] with the name of your money. 'Gold Coins' is default.

Code: Select all

------------------- &cRULES &f-------------------
#&c1 &aDo Not Modify, Flood, or Grief Other Buildings.
#&c2 &bHacking and Glitch Abuse is Forbidden.
#&c3 &aNo Asking for Rank or [INSERT NAME OF MONEY HERE].
#&c4 &bAsking Others for Personal Info is Prohibited.
#&c5 &aNo Offensive Builds. No Argument.
#&c6 &bStaff Titles for Non-Staff are Not Allowed.
#&c7 &aDo Not Spam or Advertise in the Chat.
#&c8 &bAct Respectful, Mature, and do not swear.
#&c9 &aShow Good Sportsmanship and Use Common Sense.
---------------------------------------------


Here is what the Rules and Welcome looks like:

How about welcome message?

[LogicaLucidity]

If you do not take the time to read a post then no one is going to assist you.

After being banned from multiple servers, including mine, I would hope you would try to have a little more sense.

Fortunately, this thread will be of value to more people of worth than not in the long run.

I took that into consideration when writing it as I knew that you would pounce on it.

It is my hope that it will help those who are just starting out and in need of a starting point or an example.

Next time you think about posting, try thinking for a minute or two. Try reading and searching.

You will be surprised as to what you might find if you took the time.

I find this very useful, and I'm sure many other people do as well.
In the future I may decide to include this in stable settings and give you credit for this.

Thanks for your hard work Logic
