- Resepct Other Members
- NO Flaming is considered anything that is said or done to insult another member. If there is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, please talk to a moderator. If you are caught flaming, then you will get an immediate warning, if flaming is directed toward a staff member you may be banned. Attempting to start "drama" will not be tolerated.
- Racism and Discrimination are not tolerated. This is similar to flaming, but is not aimed at a particular person or social group, but towards an entire race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. If you intend to stay on this forum we expect you to treat any member of this community as your equal. Discrimination is a serious offense and will lead you a warning, or possible banning.
- No links to illegal downloads or copyrighted materials are permitted. This includes, movies, books, software,etc. Do not attempt to sell these products or post links to where this can be done. This will result in a warning and then ban for undetermined amount of time. We do not support that on this web site and we don't want to get in trouble. This is for everyone's own good.
- You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.
- No links should lead to adult porn sites or porn forums. There will be no exceptions to this rule. You will be automatically warned if you post any link which leads to an adult site OR forum.
- Do not beg to become a moderator.
- NEVER under any circumstances are you to impersonate a mod this will lead to a ban.
- No Plagiarism. (This applies mainly to the art and writing boards) Do not steal other people's works and post them on this forum as your own. If you find something cool, that you'd like to share, please provide a link to that site. If you are using information form another site, you must credit them in the post. Stealing information and calling it your own will result in a warning on the first offense as well as the post being deleted. The second warning is a limited ban. The third is permaban.
- there is to be absolutely no submitting false reports or otherwise abusing the report system.
- Calling out/treatment of Staff Members
Will do nothing but get you in trouble. If you have an issue with a staff member, take it to PM, but keep it respectful. You may not always agree with a decision, and that is fine. The staff has a job to do, please let them do it. Remember, we are here to help you. The staff deserves your respect, and I expect them to be treated with it. Disrespecting a mod or admin will get you suspended, even banned. There is to be NO discussion on any action a mod or admin takes. Ever. Members are not allowed to post messages from banned or suspended members. - Signatures are to be 130 pixels down, and 500 pixels wide. You are more than welcome to advertise your own site in your sig as long as it doesn't go overboard. By this we mean don't put it in huge letters screaming "visit my site!" . . a simple text link or banner will usually do and won't make it look like you're here to solely spam your site.Only one image per signature (several very small images are allowed in lieu of one larger image)We reserve the right to delete any sigs which exceed this limit. Many surfers are on dial-up connections, and when a page is full of images the page will often take forever to load.
We reserve the right to change the rules without notice. If there is a major rule change we will announce it to the entire website.
