Rules and Guidelines

[ikarirain]

I have no intention on being extremely strict regarding the rules, but the rules do serve to maintain order on the forums, and as such, they will be enforced as required. With that being said, here is a list of the basic rules:

Rules

• No Violating the Registration Agreement
  
• No Pornography
  
• No Sexual and/or Racial Harassment
  
• No Using the Forum for Commercial Advertisements (such as medical advertisements, etc.)
  

Guidelines

1. Post-spamming is not allowed in threads where they are not warranted. Text-spamming (spamming a huge block of text with no purpose) is not allowed at all. Post-spamming is generally allowed for bumping topics, or word relation games and such.
   
   
2. Signatures should be carefully chosen. Some signatures may be too bandwidth intensive for viewers, and some signatures may be too large in resolution for the forums.
   
   
3. Flaming and flame-baiting should be avoided. It is not an offense that will result in a ban, however, flamers and flame-baiters will be warned. Flaming is the unnecessary insulting of another person with no other effect than arousing anger. Flame-baiting is the unnecessary attempt at provoking a person into flaming you.
   
   
4. If a moderator decides that you are acting inappropriately, you will be given a number of warnings. If you continue with the actions despite the warning, you risk a temporary or permanent ban, depending on the situation. In all cases, the Moderator is serving to protect the order of the forum. If you disagree with the Moderators actions, send a message to me with your concerns, but do not challenge the Moderator in open threads. If your argument is sound, the Admins will have a talk with the Moderator to ensure they understand better what is and what isn't allowed on the forums.
   
   
5. PLEASE read the Stickied threads in every board you visit. Threads that have been Stickied have been done so for a reason. Most of them contain vital information concerning that section of the board.
   

At any given time, this list of rules and guidelines may be changed, revised, or otherwise altered.
