The following are the forum rules. Please obey them. Failure to obey these rules will result in the stated warning level or ban:
Flaming: % depends
Try to avoid forum wars. Flaming is anything deemed harrassing, demeaning, or insultive. Don't flame. Any flaming caught, and the warning level/ban length will be judged on how bad.serious it is.
Racial/Gender Slurs 50%
Do not use Race, Gender, Religion, Heritige, or Skin Tone make its way into any jokes or insults. These are not tolerrated, even if in good fun.
Gay Bashing 75% and 1-Day ban
Making fun of someones sexuality is not okay. Although it is not punished as much on other forums, I am a strong hater of gay bashing. Do not joke about of make fun of someone for there sexuality.
Sexual Harassment
Risk: INSTANT BAN
Pertaining to reproductive activity harassment is anything to sexually insult another member. We know of this behavior and we don't tolerate it. We don't care whether you're joking or not, ANY Pertaining to reproductive activity harassment will earn you instant, and most likely permanent, ban. Again, we don't tolerate such behavior.
Multiple Accounts: Deletion of each extra, 50% each.
One is enough for anybody. 'Nuff said. No extra accounts.
Revealing personal info: Post deletion and 20%[/b]
Safety is usually a good thing. This includes live chat. Big no-no, as people can hack. Bad. Bad. Bad.
Overuse of Numbers in name:
Please do not overdo it, a few is alright but half of your name isn't. Like having 'Nick182737733' is bad, change it immediately.
Impersonating someone other than you:
This is another big no no, We WILL find out so don't even try it.
No Complaining/Trolling Risk: Post deletion, and 10%
Description/Clarification: Do not complain about these forums, the staff have worked very hard, and they aren't going to be happy if you're saying garbage like 'Dan-Ball SUX i culd ttaly make a bttr forum hen this Crap.' Such is not only complaining, but also spam and flaming. If you really have beef with these forums, put it in About The Site, and keep a civil tongue there. Also keep to the proper format(Located below), point out the problem, and share a possible solution that'll help the forums.
Trolling is just as bad, even worse, than complaining. Trolling means whining excessively about everything, and acting like everything is horrible and everyone is so mean to you. DON'T TROLL. It's not getting you anywhere, and you're just making yourself look like a baby. Failure to avoid Trolling will result in post deletion and 10% added to your Warning level. This is also whining, complaining, etc. just to get attention.
When you try to start arguments it is also considered trolling.[/center][/spoiler]
If you're being a total idiot and purposely breaking rules, you will be banned on the spot.
