No threads involving PvP or battlegrounds or arenas.
No threads posting information about things or exploits (we have an exploits section).
No things involving hacks. This is a gray area, but I think true exploration should be without hacks and model editing. (if you find someplace really cool that isn't a repost, and you found it while hacking, bu all means, post it. But label the thread [Hacks] Ect ect ect
More will be added to the rules later...

I am sick and tired of idiots who can't title their post properly.
From now on I will just delete a thread with a title such as "Question", "How", "why??", "Problem", "help me" etc. I will not even bother to go in and read the info in the thread, they will be deleted from just the title.
THIS goes for all forums.

Exploration Guidelines - Credits to glynbeard Explore: To search into or travel in for the purpose of discovery
When creating a new thread or such in this section be sure to check if it does uphold the definition of exploring. If it does not, then I suggest checking to see what your really trying to put in here.
Rule #1: I know you've heard this a million times before but before you post search, search and then when your done searching search some more. 60% of posts in the section are reposts.
Rule #2: Learn how to take appropriate screen shots and how to use video capturing programs such as fraps or game-cam.

Examples of what we should be seeing in SS:
Screen Shots-
Bad:
Make it useful...
Good:
Rule #3: This is more of a hopeful guideline and won't be enforced: I know it's fun when you find something new on a private server and you want to share it with us but it truly isn't the same because us on live server's will not be able to reach that point. So please, try to only reveal things that others will be able to achieve on World of Warcraft's live servers.
This section isn't viewed as much anymore because people think everything that will ever be found have been found, but they are mistaken. There is always a rock that can be turned, keep that in mind.
Finally Exploration is finding anything that you haven't seen before or been able to achieve before. If it hasn't been posted prior then put it up. The section isn't going to hate you because you didn't find a new world somewhere, they are very kind and you will more than likely get rewarded because of it.
Thank you for your time.

I'll give ya this much... I love your signature. Can stare at that thing for hours.
Maybe if you reported posts/threads more and replied to topics more, being a great member in general, then I wouldn't be deleting so many WoTLK threads.
As I'd be staring at your signature the whole time.

Haha, i love it too, it's hilarous.
Also, you might consider doing some heavy clean up in all the section, if you got time.
