Title: Board Rules (to be stickied, I'm sure)
Post by: BD_Guard_Bane on January 19, 2011, 06:53:33 pm
Only historical debate.

No spam.

No wikipedia references.

No youtube videos.

No references to non-peer reviewed online articles.

Reference all sources to an academic standard.

If your argument is not supported by sources (they can be from your own research, as long as it is published), your post will be deleted.

Good luck making a case that doesn't rely on wikipedia and youtube articles :) First person that does, gets an honorary degree in History from the university of cRPG.

Damn I was just about to post this wikipedia article on ninjas:

Ninjas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS)

Hmm. Is VHS tapes a valid historical reference?

And I don't support such serious discussions here. Trolling and historical discussion is the same thing, and belong in the SPAM section. Also we are giving people the notion that cRPG has something to do with historical accuracy..

And I would think so.

This board should be moved up or something. Its right above the Spam, when I'm out of spam I'm still in the trolling mood, I need a little bit distance to calm down.
