TOU Overhaul

On December 12, 2011, SBAllen announced a massive change to the Terms of Use. Various rules were removed from the TOU, and the Annotated Terms of Use was replaced with "Board Rules". The most significant change was that the mods were now to be much more lenient. On and after the day of the overhaul, SBAllen created a procedural series of topics on SBallin' explaining the changes in greater detail. CE naturally tripped over each other in a hurry to post all the things that would have been moddable before the day of the change.

Advertising

 * Clan/guild recruitment topics
 * Beta/game/DLC code giveaways, as long as they're not being traded for money or things of monetary value
 * Surveys that aren't being used to gain a profit

Off-topic

 * Discussing the sport in question on a sport game board
 * Speculation topics as long as the speculation is realistic (e.g. "What would Rosalina's SSB moveset be?")
 * Forum games (hurt/heal, CYOA, etc.), as long as the forum game relates to the topic 100%

Disruptive

 * All fads, as long as they're not being used to break other parts of the TOU and they're not being used to flood the board/topic
 * Posting in foreign languages
 * Quoting without posting additional content, as long as it's not part of a chain of users quoting the previous quote
 * ASCII art of a reasonable size

Offensive

 * Nudity as long as sexual organs and other privates are completely unseen, including aerolas, pubic hair, asses, etc. (anything covering them is fine now, including censors or other objects). The only exception to this rule are pics depicting sexual acts, including masturbation, blowjobs, etc. These are still harshly moddable, even if the privates are censored.
 * Lighthearted jokes about celebrity deaths (such as jokes about their career or personal life), as long as they're kept out of emotional topics

Trolling

 * Announcing that you've ignored or marked someone, or telling other people to do it, as long as it's not meant just to antagonize the other user (i.e. "LOL, Canti posted and I can't see him!", "Hey everyone, let's all mark Jack Huddleston!")
 * Calling a troll a troll

Illegal activities

 * Discussing emulators that don't require copyrighted BIOS files to run

Still not allowed
Please note that just because something isn't listed here doesn't mean it's allowed.

Advertising

 * Asking for beta/game/DLC codes
 * Referral links (links where someone makes a profit when someone clicks on it)
 * Spamming a website in multiple topics

Off-Topic

 * Off-topic topics that try to enforce topicality (e.g. "What kind of yogurt does Mother Brain eat?", "What if Kingdom Hearts 3 had a My Little Pony world?")
 * Obvious off-topic topics

Disruptive

 * Flooding (posting multiple identical topics/posts on one board)
 * Board invasions

Offensive

 * Real-life gore
 * Uncensored privates
 * See-through clothing and clothing that is so skin-tight that you can see the outlines of their privates
 * Dark humor about celebrities who recently died (e.g. "They deserved to die")
 * Using "gay", "retarded", etc. as insults or to imply that something is bad
 * Anything that even remotely sexualizes minors (this means people under 18, real or fictional, no exceptions), or defending pedophilic actions (defending pedophiles who don't act on their desires seems to be up to the mod)
 * Claiming to be a pedophile, even if you wish you weren't

Illegal activities

 * Discussing emulators to run copyrighted content, such as PS2 games, or emulators that require a copyrighted BIOS to run
