I have spent the past several hours laying down the rules for Wetpaint Central. Please feel free to post any comments you have on these rules, including feedback and suggestions for any rules you feel may be absent. Do you find this valuable?

Okay, I have reformatted the page so it may be viewed normally in IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
Everything should look Left-Justified.

Great job on the rules Spaz. They are very well organized. However I would suggest adding a link to the homepage, if you haven't done so already. Do you find this valuable?

I'm curious, I haven't had much experience with the News feature.
Should there be any rules regarding it?

Like photos, I don't think WPC users should be able to add irrelevant News Feeds.

Nice job CaptainSpaz on the rules. Really orginized. You are good with tables.

So I've noticed someone posting adverts on their own profile. That doesn't matter too much because the second a few dozen more people join or edit their own profiles, their posts will be forgotten. Do you find this valuable?

They seem to be making posts of the same ads every minute. You probably should just ban them.

Well, I am still thinking of that. The thing about posting on your own profile is that it doesn't show up in the discussion forum. After about 50 other people do something to their profile, they spam gets removed from the report.
I think I would only ban them if they posted on someone else's profile.

Although, Advertising is strictly forbidden on Wetpaint Central now. So, in sense anyone advertising in the comments of their Profile shall be warned.

Wow, no advertising anywhere on WPC. I invite you and SuperSpaz to look at the New Member Profile Template. There is a table cell that is titled WEBSITES. To me, that encourages me to put my sites in that cell. Many of my site members have taking the time to fill out that template and have used them to direct others to their websites ( not only wetpaint wikis) If I am correct, that is a Wetpaint Template, not a WPC template.

The flavor of WPC with the New Rules is as an adjunct to Wetpaint's TOS, is starting to resemble Rules of Play in some video game. It is proper to have guidelines and consequences if those guidelines are not met. But Rules and Punishments just strikes me as "Do this or Die". statements reveling a dictatorial power boast.
One other statement about advertising. Would there be any directing through these new rules, to channel all advertising to a site created by Budde? I would like a Wetpaint Employee, to give me the sites that are endorsed as an Official sites of Wetpaint.

I am all for having a comfortable and safe wetpaint wiki site to visit and to share in on the activities. A site free from, spam and scam, drama, and other nonsense. I anxiously await the new Official Profile Rules.

Let re-word that:

Although, Advertising is strictly forbidden on Wetpaint Central now BY USE OF COMMENTS/THREADS. So, in sense anyone advertising in the comments of their Profile shall be warned.

In the following thread, Jeremy (an employee of Wetpaint) states that we are directing people to wpads.wetpaint.com.

I think I did link that.
I don't have a problem with people advertising on their profiles, as long as it isn't inappropriate.

"Can you address the Profile Template issue?"
I didn't mean the content of their Profiles, I meant the content of any threads/comments on WPC. Sorry for the confusion!

The content of my Profile, even has links to my Wetpaint wikis, my webshows and my websites... There is no rule regarding content of the Profile and advertising, although a rule exists regarding advertising in comments/threads on WPC.

Edit: I agree with CaptainSpaz, I don't object to allowing users/members of Wetpaint Central to advertise freely on their profile page.
