Some answers to some common questions, things that will get you a shit sig, or things that will get you banned- other mods feel free to post ITT!

- You
- LL Cool Mod

I hate my username, change it to "KobashiStylez1998" NOW!!!
Only paid members can have this done. Please become one. Otherwise wait until neil gets bored and annoys the entire forum with one of his terrible name change threads. Do not PM neil about changing your name unless you are a paid member.

GAH WHY IS GRAHAM NORTONS IN MY SIG??? REMOVE THIS IMMEDIATELY!!
Refresh your memory on the sig rules. In general, if your sig has anything animated it is terrible and too big. You get 5 chances to use your brain before you lose your sig FOREVER....FOREVER...FOREVER....FOREVER

i posted a joke about this celebrity dying and i ended up with a stupid sig too...what gives?
If you make terrible jokes about any celebrity dying these will be judged for humour by the UKFF Comedy Police. Chances are if you looked it up on sickipedia, got it in an email with the subject field "FWD: FWD: fwd: RE: FWD: WRONG BUT FUNNY READ", or got it via a text message from your mate then it is shit. Don't post it.

I am so outraged by people on this forum that I am throwing a big tantrum and quitting the forum in the hope people will try to stop me.
Your account is going to get disabled then. How about you just stop posting?

can someone tell me about this lexx thing???
No. It is pretty much a bannable offense to mention it due to all the lameness that follows. Be careful when mentioning it on this forum.

My threads are all messed up now. Why did you change my settings?
We didn't - you did! Go into any thread, and then click the options button (located on the topic title bar), and then pick "Linear". Problem solved. Ronseal.

I just donated money to the UKFF!
Thanks. We need it. In order to get your account UPGRADED in super fast fashion (we know you want to gossip in the paid member forum ASAP), consider PM'ing neil with a copy of your paypal receipt. He will do the needful.

I'm new here. How do I fit in?
Good question. Lurk for a while. See what the style and flow of the various forums are. The Main forum and off topic have completely different vibes. Try to think before you post. Ask yourself, "Is this post/thread any good?". If the answer is no, then don't post. Also, search before you make a topic that has been done to death before. You will fit in faster by making good posts rather than posting a ton of shit.

screw u...im just gonna post woteva i like. its a forum i cannae giv a bother like
You'll be insulted for the most part, and possibly banned then.

ha but the ukff rules say that flaming is against the rules...i got u over a barral
Flaming is actively encouraged against shit posts and morons.

Cool. I'm an internet bully and I will target that guy and follow him around the forum picking on literally every post he makes.
Well thats trolling and it tends to be shit. You'll be warned, suspended, or banned.

Well what the hell am I supposed to do then
Walk softly with a large stick. In other words, click report on a post you don't like. Explain why, and let mod's take care of it.

I sent you a PM and you ignored it.
It would help if you didn't TURN OFF PM's.

If you want to send email to the mod team then feel free to use [email protected] which can be checked by any mod.

You know what would be hilarious....SENDING STUPID EMAILS TO THIS ACCOUNT UNDER A FAKE NAME AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Examples:









The only downfall to this is that I can very easily trace the sending IP address back to your user account on here

So thank you very much for the above

Stop sending them you mentalist

Posting the spoiler rules on here again seeing as it seems to have gone nuts recently with the whole TNA thing:

NEWS NEWS NEWS
============


Spoiler rules have been updated. Please read and follow.

Bigger news:

LIVE DISCUSSION THREADS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED - if you want to "chat" about some live event then use the UKFF chatroom.

Join #theukff on WorldIRC. If you have an IRC client then join irc.worldirc.org, if you don't then use the webchat located at http://www.worldirc.org/index.php?page=webchat

A brief intro to IRC for those that haven't used it:

Type /part to leave the channel you are in
Type /join #theukff to join the UKFF channel
Type /nick big_sexy_kev to change your name to big_sexy_kev

Otherwise it is pretty straight forward. Questions can be asked here about it too.

Try this.

http://www.wrestledvd.com/ukffchat.html

To clear up any confusion, this doesn't mean you can't have post-show discussion threads like those excellent RAW ones The G used to with a poll. I would very much encourage their return because they were often one of the best things on on-topic.

It just means that on Tuesday morning when someone wants to read some nice write-ups and hear people's thoughts on RAW, they don't need to scroll through pages and pages of "Great segment!" and other posts that are pretty much worthless mere seconds after they're posted.

It applies to Off-Topic too. In particular for the World Cup it will be terrible, so the same rules will apply.

Because twats keep on ignoring the live discussion rules I'm going to be suspending anyone who does it from this point on.

READ THE RULES ON SIG SIZES

I've had to remove about 5 stupidly oversized shit animated gif sigs today.

STOP POSTING NSFW IMAGES

If you post any kind of image that contains material that would get someone in trouble at work and post it in image tags then you'll be suspended for a week.

Please stop linking to images on malware sites. This includes your sig and avatars. Tracking these down is a pain in the arse for people on the forum and it stops them from viewing the forum.

The current rules on MMA discussion are as follows:

1. Each UFC show is allowed a pre and post event discussion thread. Please don't create threads for UFC events more than 3 months out.
2. Each season of TUF is allowed a single thread. Unmarked spoilers are allowed based on the US airing, so don't read the thread if you happen to behind this.
3. All Strikeforce event discussion in the Strikeforce thread
4. All WEC event discussion must go in the WEC thread.
5. All other MMA, including UK MMA and your backyard MMA fed, can all go in the MMA Event Discussion thread.
6. There is a MMA news thread, and a MMA past fights discussion thread. Do not create a thread, if the news is worthy then a mod will split it out.
7. There is also a MMA predictions thread/game which can be found here

Any that I missed - PM or use the UKFF Forum thread that is pinned in off topic.

Don't post any members personal information. This includes addresses, telephone numbers or anything else that would be considered 4chan-esque.

FYI - posting that hilarious "Rest in Piece" joke will get you suspended.

Please welcome two new mods: tiger_rick and Woyzeck.

JLM has decided to retire. Please thank him for his hard work.

Information regarding the criminal backgrounds of members.

Due to recent posters insisting on acting like some sort of justice mob the following now applies:

We don't care what you did in your past unless you do the following:

a) brag about it
b) you harp on about it forever and forever
c) you continue to bring attention to yourself because of it
d) bother other members of the forum by being a creep (this applies to everyone regardless of your criminal past)

To all you bastions of justice:

- If you insist on being an internet detective you will be banned.

- If you bring up private information about a member for no reason then you will be banned. Note: the judgment of this comes down to the moderators who are terribly unjust as we all know.

- If you think you are highly intelligent and try to hint about things then you will be banned.

- Complaining about these rules in a sensationalist Daily Mail style will get you suspended for 2 weeks and then banned if you do it afterwards. If you're confused that means saying things like "so the Mods are on the side of sex offenders?".

- Using the phrase "lovely pillows" will get your suspended. As will describing something using the word "Gatso".

A Scottish wrestler is currently in court. Until the case is over no posting is allowed about it as it's contempt of court. Once the case is finished then you can post about it again.

Replying to anything with the horribly overused phrase "because you touch yourself at night" will win you a fabulous 30 day ban.

If you work for a wrestling company, are a wrestler, or generally have anything to do with a wrestling company then for fucks sake don't try to pull the "I'm just a casual fan who happens to love this company", or the "this wrestler is great, it's not me, I'm just a fan" stuff.

If you do then you'll get outed and made to look like the fool you are.

Any mention of being "in" the PCC will result in a weeks suspension. Any mention of PCC to troll former members will result in a two week suspension.

Anyone who argues with this will get a suspension.

Anyone who doesn't know what PCC is should think themselves lucky and try not to die of curiosity.

Due to recent requests for accounts to be disabled the rule regarding the phrase "lovely pillows" is no longer in effect (until it gets run into the ground)

Stop quoting massive blocks of text just to add a line or two.

For example, see http://ukff.com/index.php?showtopic=127870...t&p=2476433

If you see this and it gets your goat RIGHT UP then click report. 24 hour suspensions will be handed up. Thy will be done.

For clarification on the above. If I have to scroll past the quote to read the post then it's too long. I'm running 1280x800.

The report button is there to report posts you find offensive, think cross the line or require action from a mod.

The report button is not there for pathetic tit-for-tat grassing. Please remember that.
