| General Rules & Regulations
- Please respect all other members of the site. This means no petty or nasty arguments, foul language, spam or anything else deemed unnecessary or rude. If you have a problem with another user or even one of our staff members, please PM an appropriate member of staff and they will deal with the issue as best they can. This means: No Flaming, No Insulting, No Arguing, or anything of the sort. If you have problems with another member, contact a mod or an Administrator and we will work something out. Keeping the peace is one of the top priorities of this site, so cooperation with each other is a must. So be sure to avoid problem causing topics such as Politics or Religion outside of their respective forums. Sports is fine, but watch yourself. Failure to comply with this rule will result in warnings, followed by suspension and then a ban.
- Absolutely, positively NO arguing with a staff member's decision; if your a moderator, do not argue with an administrator - they have the right to make a decision unless it is just complete nonsense, then you may report them to the head-admin and get them looked into. First offense is a warning. If you proceed, you may be kicked, banned, or worse.
- Please do not spam outside of the spam sub-forum. We will delete posts and issue warnings if you do not adhere to this rule. Spam gets annoying, no one likes it, and it makes the whole site look sloppy. If you do not know what spam is, it is basically a message that does not adhere to the topic, or is completely pointless and unnecessary.
- Please refrain from double-posting, once again: it makes the site look fairly sloppy, and no one wants to see your side-profile and signature all over again. Try to edit, but we know people make mistakes, so this rule will not be thoroughly enforced, but if there seems to be a pattern...you better bet your getting in trouble.
- This forum is rated PG-13 outside of the Mature Section. This means that if it is anything inappropriate for teenagers, it should not be posted on the primary boards but in the mature boards. Please do not post pornographic content or anything else inappropriate for those under the age of 18 on the primary boards.
- Advertising your own site is permitted, but only in the 'Advertisement' forum. Read the rules in that section to find out more. Anyone caught advertising in the chatbox or elsewhere will be dealt with by a member of staff, we will absolutely NOT permit advertising outside said section. It drags away members and is very bad for publicity. We want this site to flourish with members. Advertisements everywhere take away from that.
- Please do NOT bug staff about checking your support topic or graphics requests. We do have lives and we know when things are needed to be done, so please don't bother us to a certain degree. I know personally that I hate to come on and see around 20 PM's asking me to check things, it's just annoying, because people should have a lot more patience than that. You may ask a single person once at a time, but after that you will get in trouble if you consecutively ask, after being warned. If your stuff hasn't been checked within 48 hours you may PM 1 Moderator. Please do not PM more than one. If that Moderator hasn't replied back to you or checked it within 24 hours please PM an Administrator and one of us will do it. In the Message please state which Moderator you first PM'd. That way we can check your stuff and we can check to see if the moderator's are actively working to do their job.
- Language on this forum: English~ When you write in English deliberate mistakes must be avoided. Non-English people, as well as English people, must be able to understand what you write, so put a minimum of care in your English, even if you do not speak English very well.
- Going Off-topic: Just do not do it. If the topic is there for things such as applying for an award, do not post questions or comments; nothing other than the template after being filled out. This goes for any other forum like it or a topic with a specific purpose or topic. Do not go off-chat and start talking about a television show in a programming topic.
- Rule Breaking: Do not comment on others breaking the forum rules - Although you may just be trying to help, please leave it up to the Moderators and Administrators to deal with rule breakers. This also includes comments asking for another member to be banned or unbanned. If you come across a post which breaks the forum rules, click the "Report Bad Post" button and we will deal with it as soon as possible.
- Personal Information: Don't give out personal information - It is not allowed to give out your own/somebody else’s address, passwords, phone numbers, etc. This is for you own safety and the safety of others.
- Illegal Linking: Do not post dangerous URLs - These include links which go to websites which involve information about hacking, scamming or other illegal activities. Not only is it illegal, but many of these sites contain spyware which can be dangerous to yourself or other members of the forum.
