Welcome to Undergroundsquare, an online community of crazy young Malaysians. The following are some guidelines to help you understand what it means to be a member of UGS. Since UGS is set up to deal with conversations about pretty much everything (that interests us), these guidelines provide a loose sort of control over how much crazy is expected of you, and how much is too much.
What To Do
Do play nice. UGS is a community of many types of people. Not all of us see what you see, think what you think, or do what you do. So, be polite and respectful in your interactions with other members.
Do moderate your own topics. The new UGS is built around the idea that there should be a constant stream of new threads for members to think, talk, and go bonkers in. You're certainly encouraged to create new threads, whether it's asking questions or you ranting about your day at school. What we do ask of you, however, is that you have the maturity to choose which topics are beneficial to start talking about. Choose interesting topics, ask honest questions. Don't put up porn, and don't be inflammatory. If your judgement proves to be poor, we'll moderate by closing and/or deleting the thread concerned, but we'll explain the decision to you so you'd do better in the future.
Do explain your thoughts. If you're asking a question or looking for opinions, it helps to fully explain your position before asking others what they think. From experience, people respond better to your topic when they've got a stance they agree/disagree with.
Do enjoy UGS! Meet new people, make new friends, attend our gatherings! UGS is a place to share, and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.
What Not To Do
Don’t vent your frustrations, rant, or bore the brains out of other members. UGS is not a venue for you to harass, abuse, impersonate, or intimidate others. If we notice such behaviour, we’ll send you a warning or turn you into a bozo (a bozo being a user that can post, but whose content is visible only to himself).
Don't be creepy. You know the guy. Don't be that guy.
Don't show nudity in your posts/buddy icons. We realize that nudity is sometimes considered art when viewed in the proper context. We recognize, too, that some of the greatest art pieces in the history of mankind celebrate the beauty of the human body. But UGS is not a porn site. Nor are we The Louvre. We do not tolerate posts or threads containing or pointing to graphic material. Think of the children. Please.
Don't advertise stuff. UGS is a place for conversation. Don't be the guy who invites people over, only to pitch them a presentation about cheap multilevel-marketing toothbrushes. Sharing your work and asking for feedback is one thing. Signing up to promote yourself is quite another.
In Conclusion
We've created these guidelines to ensure that everyone who joins UGS gets the same experience: good friends and great conversation. If you don't feel that you can abide by our Community Guidelines as outlined above, maybe UGS isn't for you. If you do, however, we welcome you to UGS, and we hope you have a good time here.
Yours,
the Admins.
