| You should have read the rules before you joined, basicly, its the basic forum rules, no flamming, double posting, spam, etc...
1. Advertising Other Websites: Do not advertise other websites. Mentioning other websites is okay to reinforce an idea or to get verification on something, but don't advertise other websites, please.
2. Rule-Breaking Threads: Don't post in threads that break the rules, but we encourage you to report it. You're just adding to their cause and chances are that they'll just be deleted within a couple of hours, so why bother?
3. Dead Threads: Do not post in threads that have not been posted in for over a month. If you really want to post in a "dead" thread, than make a special request to one of the Mods.
4. Trading For Money: Don't attempt to trade items, characters, or accounts of any game for money. Here is not the place for it -- what you want for that is eBay.
5. Flaming: Do not flame other members or staff. This is a community where we like to keep things on a friendly basis. If you have a problem with someone, pm them or take it out of the site. PMs that harass ANY individual will be dealt with. Any user that receives one of these messages should report it immediately.
6. Keep Signatures PG: Don't put pictures involving nudity or graphic violence in your sig, and don't include overly vulgar language or links to inappropriate websites in your sig, either. It's just completely unnecessary and will get you warned or banned.
7. Post in the Proper Forums: Do not create off-topic threads anywhere but the off-topic sections, and if you have specific questions, make a thread asking it in the respective manner, General Discussion thread. This will be explained in greater detail near the end of this thread.
8. Check the FAQs: Before creating a thread asking a specific question, check the FAQs -- your question may have already been answered there, or in other threads for that matter. Look around before creating a new thread asking a question!
9. Warning system: The warning system works as follows: You will receive a verbal warning for your first offense Repeated offenses shall receive warnings. Depending on the severity of of the offense, this may be a temporary warning or a permanent warning.
When you get 3 warnings, this results in a temporary ban from the forum. The length of the temporary ban will depend on the severity of the offense. After this temporary ban, if you receive two more warnings for the same offense, you will be permanently banned from the forum.
10. Multiple accounts: You may not make multiple accounts, if you do all your accounts may be banned/deleted.
11. Spam: Do not SPAM the forums or the shoutbox. Spam is defined as posting the same thing over and over in the same thread, forum or in all the forums. Also, it is posting excessively in a short time with posts that normally are only one or two sentences or words. In some cases, it is even posting too many threads. Spamming will result in an official warning . An alternate definition is that of "Stupid, Pointless, Annoying Message.". In short, don't make posts that are irrelevant, pointless or duplicate.
12. DP's(double posts): Learn to use the "edit" button. - Do not post multiple times in a row but use the edit button and add the content of your last post to that of the previous. "double" posts may be deleted.
13. Trolling: Trolling is defined as posting remarks intended to anger another poster and or start an argument or flame war. Trolling will be edited or deleted at the Administrators' discretion. Do not respond to trolling aimed at you. Contact an Administrator/Moderator. Trolling will result in a warning or, in extreme cases, the troll will be banned.
14. Offensive Content: Insults based on religious, national, race or other such aspects are not allowed. - This forum is geared for a mature audience. SOME adult-related discussion and content is inevitable on this forum. HOWEVER, content that is pornographic, illegal, or offensive to the PR audience is not permitted. Posts that include pornography or illegal content may be deleted without notice, and we reserve the right to delete any posts that we deem offensive. Direct linking to illegal content is also not tolerated.
15. Warez: Providing or asking for information on how to illegally obtain "warez", "gamez" or any other software or work protected by copyright law is strictly forbidden. | |
