Examples of Forum Games & Changing Hello/Bye description

Kain.EXE

1) Think we should include examples of what forum games are in the rules? We know forum games are not allowed here, but in the rules, I think we should include examples of forum games, so people don't make those topics at all. Some examples are:

-Three Word Story
-Boot and Immune
-Hurt and Heal
-Ask a Stupid Question Get a Stupid Answer
-Riddles (unless it's in your sig and you have people PM you)
-You Know You're Playing (insert random game name here) Too Much When...
-Signs You Suck At (insert random game name here)

2) Then this is a minor, insignificant one: You know the description for "Hellos & Goodbyes"? ) It says "Introduce yourself, get to know each other!" but maybe it should be "Introduce yourself, or let us know when you'll be gone for awhile!" Dunno, it's nothing important.

Why do that? If ALL forum games are banned, then of course those that you listed are too.

If you were to make a list, then people could try to reason that those that do not appear on the list could be allowed--even though they are not.

People are good at excuses. Of course, there's the lovely resort of as an example, but not limited to these. Heh.

I do agree on the second one. The forum used to be Hello and Welcome, and I keep calling it that, but it's Hello and Goodbye so I guess the description would make more sense.

Okay, maybe my "examples of forum games" suggestion is out of question, but I still think the subtitle for "Hellos & Goodbyes" should specify something with farewells.

Something like "Introduce yourself, or let us know if you'll be gone for awhile!"
