I found a rules page today for an old bad webcomic's official IRC channel. They've got a lot of rules, some of which are just early 2000s internet culture things, others in-joke references to the comic or subcomics or community back then. The comic was bad, but a "sprite comic" was novel at the time and somehow the site became a hub for several different sprite comics for a while until webcomic hosting focused businesses arose. The IRC rules page included a ban specifically for SA

quote:

13.) For clarification, the following sites contain content that rule 7 bans. This is by no means a comprehensive list; indeed, it is not even a start. However, the following links are popular to link to but will instantly net you a ban (mentioned by "name" instead of linked for obvious reasons):

Goatse
Tubgirl
Something Awful
Rotton
Newgrounds

I guess it was a real problem since this rule leads back to two other rules:

quote:

7.) Although previously stated in rule #2, it deserves a second mention; Hentai/ecchi/porn will not be tolerated in any form, posted links, spamming, trolling, in the main channel. You will recieve one warning. Please bear in mind that chatters as young as 11-13 frequent the channel, and appropriate behavior and content should be maintained at all times.

[/quote]2) No trolling, flooding, spamming, porn or warez links, harassing users, etc. Now this one is just common sense. Doing these things are annoying and disrupt the chat, and generally make you hated. If you do not know if you are trolling or not, ask an op/half-op, though generally people will make you aware of this before you get a chance to ask. Basically, don't be annoying to the other chatters.[/quote]

Rule 17 is the most bizarre one though, pretty discompassionately worded

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
Presumably because this was the proto 4channers developing their craft before splitting off on their own

I knew this was going to be bob and george before I saw the link just from the way you were talking about it

that comic had a super weird fandom back in the early internet days and back then you know it was like gang wars you belonged to a group and that's the team you were on you know like it was goons and furries and newgrounders having knife fights in the streets after dark and throwing loving bricks into skulls and it's calmed down a lot now and people who didn't live it don't understand the violence but it made sense at the time because the internet was islands and you had to go out of your way to swim to the next island now we all live on the same street and you can't throw a brick without it bouncing back in your face and it isn't like i miss the dirty knifefights of the olden days but you know like a reformed leather-clad gangster i still feel like my glory days are behind me
