 == C'mon Guys == 

 Lets get serious here, this is a show on Television and 
 AOTS is trying to see if they have INTELLIGENT viewers 
 (A.K.A. Boys and Girls who can keep their minds of their 
 ""Joysticks"" and ""G-Spots"" for more than 3 seconds) and 
 allow these viewers to help create a great episode of the 
 show. Now, understand, I'm no fun nazi, I just want this 
 thing to kick some arse (Perhaps be a 20 on a previous 
 users Ass-Kickery scale? Somewhere up there with... I don't 
 know... someone who devotes their life to kicking big arse!) 

 So Lets at least TRY to follow some ground rules... 
 Perhaps we could put these on the front page so that future 
 Idea makers can... work with them to create a semi-sane 
 yet still completely wierd episode of AOTS. However, these 
 are just my thoughts, no one elses. (Hey! Originality! Wow!) 

 THE ""Guidelines"" FOR AOTS WIKIPEDIA PROJECT TV 

 1. Come up with something original for Skits and the 6! 
      a. No Vader or Homerowed, something similarly recognizeable but c'mon, thats THEIR joke, not yours.   
 2. Obey the 30 second rule! 
      a. It's just like the 5 second floor-food rule don't pass 30 Seconds or YOU DIE. 
      b. Lets try and read all the previous skits before posting our own, maybe an Idea has already been presented that is similar to yours, if you have an addition.. post it in their idea with your name attatched! 
 3. Vulgar, Sexist, Racist, Ignorant Comments = Bad Times! 
      a. Lets be smart here folks, the producers of AOTS are not going to put anything on their show that could cause the show to look bad (which, is a fine line they walk anyway) 
      b. As much as I'm sure Sarah appreciates a thousand noobs accross America praising her like a trophy, it's been done. We know you think Sarah is hot, get over yourself and go back to your WoW game. Your Level 38 Orc just got a Steel Spike Tipped Club! 
 4. Changes should be made in the CORRECT Areas! 
      a. Don't screw with the template of the site just cause you think it's funny. AOTS and Wikipedia are collaberating just like we are to make this work, so don't make it harder for them by deleting sections of the page just so you can type out ""BRING BACK TechTV!"" here's a news flash folks: Stations change, and there isn't much you can do to change that. 
      b. Dont' DELETE other peoples ideas and don't be rude when critiquing them. Someone else may have put alot of time into what they thought would be a good skit for AOTS opening so respect that, and we will not flame you to death. 
 5. If AOTS or Wikipedia delete something... DONT PUT IT BACK! 
      a. The powers that be on this site have rules, and when you break them or when you screw with something to much, they will remedy the situation. Understand that it's probably nothing personal, they just don't need a website that talks about Kevin giving sexual favors in the opening skit. It's not what wikipedia is about and it's CERTAINLY not what Kevin and AOTS are about. 
 5. Be your own Policeman! 
      a. Odd as it sounds, you have a concience and common sense! Use them! If it sounds like they wouldn't use your idea or you think they might delete what ever you put up right away... DONT PUT IT UP! 
      b. As you are coming up with ideas, check the site. See something obscene or something that 100% doesn't belong on a site that a 13 year old MIGHT see? DELETE IT! The AOTS and Wikipedia folks can't always be here to clean up after us, so help them by keeping this place as PG as possible. I know AOTS sometimes has sexual references, but thats called DISCRETE INNUENDOS. If you don't have the art of innuendo, don't post the idea, because they wont use it. 
 6. When Posting a Skit, THINK FIRST! 
      a. I may have stated this before but it's important. the three things to do when posting an idea are: 
          I. Check to see if your idea or a similar one is already up. 
          II. If one is found (or one you like better) expand/post on it, not a new entry. 
          III. If none is found, post your new entry while following the guidelines. 
      b. I promise you, this wont take you more than 5 minutes to do if done right. 
 7. When Posting a Top 6, THINK FIRST! 
      a. Just like with skits, you must do three things when posting a new idea: 
          I. Look at the current top 6, if you see one that is less cool than yours, switch it out. (moving the one switched to Honorable Mentions) 
          II. If you see that the top 6 are out of order, switch them around. 
          III. If your idea is not yet on the list, post it at the bottom, moving the one you bumped to honorable mentions.

 I really think we can make this work if we try. Just... Show some Common Sense and 
 Have fun with
