The Admins and Moderators of this forum may:
ban you from any part of its services or
delete or edit any content posted by you
without notice or compensation for any violation of the rules herafter and are not obligated to explain to you why these actions have taken place (However, it is more than likely you will be given prior warning)
If you think a Moderator or Admin abused their power, first ask yourself: Am I sure? Politely private message that moderator first, maybe they can explain what they did. If you're not satisfied after that, private message either Light, Rash or Phoenix about it.
Spamming - Please refrain from filling up threads with repetition, nonsense, excess formatting or over-punctuating. Spam is anything considered to be unneeded in a post to convey your opinion or to give meaningfully to the conversation.
Flaming - Don't be an ass.
Trolling - Please don't troll, trolling is considered to be any action or pattern of actions intended to provoke another user.
Double Posting - Threads in a forum are meant to be conversations where people take turns speaking. Please do not take two turns in a row.
Topic Drift - Another one of the fundamental premises of forums is that there is conversation on one topic per thread. Please don't discuss two separate topics in one thread.
Necroposting - In other words, please don't revive a long-dead thread. When a conversation has ended, it has ended.
Resuscitation - If a thread has been locked, please don't continue the conversation that was in it. The only exception I can think of right now is that if a thread was locked because of topic drift, then you may continue those conversations in new threads, unless they were specified as no-no's too.
Linking off site - For the most part linking off site won't be tolerated unless deemed to be appropriate by the community in general. Links will not be punishable if they lead to productive conversation or are in some way relevant to the thread, however, the relevance is down to community discretion and "bad" links will be met with appropriate sanctions.
English is our language of choice. We want our staff to know what you're saying, so they know you're not breaking the rules.
Cursing is fine in moderation, most of our player-base curse occasionally and one of our Admins does so regularly. However, there is a fine line between a little cursing and spamming/trolling/flaming. Do not cross it.
Inappropriate Behavior - This applies in the Spam section
Pornographic material will result in instant bans
Sexual references will result in immediate warning and restriction of privileges and the possibility of being banned
Inappropriately violent videos will result in instant bans
Extremist sentiments will result in instant bans
Religion is a touchy topic and certain religious content may offend other users. It is therefore in our best interests to avoid religious discussion
Multiple Accounts - You are not allowed more than one user account on the forums. This just keeps things simple.
Threatening - A serious statement or implication that you might or will do something seriously bad to another user. This includes but is not limited to threatening to physically hurt someone or steal/damage their possessions. We want people to feel safe in our community.
Impersonation - Pretending to be someone else or something you are not. It is much better having some idea of who you are talking to. We do not want people taking instructions from people who are not entitled to give them.
Duel Requests - Asking for a duel on the forums won't work very well, because not many people will be on here at the same time as you. You'll have better luck in #duelzone in the forum chat.
Please abide by these rules while you use our forums, thank you!
