By using the forums, it means you acknowledge the rules. If not, you'd better freshen up below ;)
Please note this page may be out of sync with the topic located here which is generally more current: Rules Link
LONG VERSION: The Big Rule Don't be inappropriate. This includes harassment, mean/rude behaviour, pornography, vulgarities, etc. "Mean behaviour" constitutes anything that makes another member feel bad or belittled, and we trust your judgment as to what you will post--we're all here to have fun, and nobody should be interfering with anyone else's ability to do so. This includes passive-aggression and passive-aggressive remarks directed towards staff members. If anyone is offending you or being extremely offensive/showing a startling lack of common sense, they may be reported to any admin and, in some cases, be instantly banned. In the worst cases, they may be reported to their internet provider! Applies to private messages, posts, signatures, everything. Just be thoughtful if your actions. =) Currently the word filters don't affect language in user profiles. So please try to be mature about what you put in there, and refrain from cursing. This also applies to images to images, I'm afraid. If your image has swearing in it, please provide a hyperlink and a warning instead. I know it sort of ruins everything, but a few of the younger members (there are a handful who are even too young to sign up but enjoy browsing) whose parents are over their shoulders will really appreciate it. =) Account Rules You may have one, and only one, account, though if you hate the name you signed up with, we can always change it. If you have family members, friends, etc. that use your computer and want their own account, please post in the greeting forum or let an admin know. You are responsible for all things done with your account. If you are sharing an account with someone else, you are responsible for their actions in addition to your own. Do not create another account to bypass a ban. This will result in an IP ban, which is permanent. Likewise, do not create accounts to impersonate people. Profile Rules Your avatar, signature, and profile are yours to do what you want with. The only things we ask:
Posting Rules, Private Messages If you have a super-large image, link to the image rather than posting it in the topic. Please don't spam. It does not matter what your post count is, quality not quantity. If you are excessively spamming, one word posts, double posting irrelevant things, etc. your counts will drop as your posts and topics are deleted, and your post count can be reset. In addition, you can rack up warning points really fast. No 'backseat modding'. As in acting as an authority when you are not. We appreciate the help, but relax, and enjoy the forums. The mods and admins are here to take care of that. In addition, you may pass off false information. Leave topics alone if they a month old. We allow an exception if there's something of value to contribute to the topic, but this is a case by case basis. But it's probably better to just make a new topic. ;) Warning Points and Bans You can receive up to 3 warning points if any of the more serious rules are broken.
It takes one month for each individual warning point to expire. Only 1 point shall be given for each occasion. Warning points are not a big deal, so don't go whining! ;) All post content on the forums are the properties of the individual posters who post them unless otherwise stated or noted where applicable.
