Main Rules :: MUST READ!!!! « Thread Started on Jan 1, 2005, 3:14pm »
If you are or are considering becoming a member you must know the following.
#1 There willl be no swearing or cursing in any of the forums. This forum is for all ages so please respect that! This DOES include abbreviations and alterations such as lmao, sphit, and so on!
#2 No trolling baiting or encouraging fights. If I see or if another moderator reports a fight, everyone - even those who did NOT start the fight - will be suspended for a time. If it happens a second time, those involved will be banned permanently!
#3 No rude discussion or rude pictures may be posted! If a member posts something like this they will be banned without warning!
#4 No double posting! There are some exceptions to this rule but there will be no double posting in roleplays or regular threads, unless you exceed the post character limit and have to finish in a new post (i.e. if you were posting a long fanfic and could not fit it all in one post)or you are "bumping" up an inactive contests thread that needs entries.
Double posting is posting directly after yourself. There must be at least one person between you and your last post. Double posting is unneccasary since ther is a "modify" button.
#5 No (under any circumstances) spamming! Spamming is pointless posts! This does not include things like "I agree" That I do not consider spamming. Spamming is a post with nothing but smilies or a post with just "yeah" or "lol". If I see anything like this the poster will be warned not to do it again and the post will be deleted. If it happens more then three times that member will be suspended for a short period. Spamming (unless rude or vulgar) will not end up in permant banning but suspension will happen!
#6 If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything! This does not include suggestions or advice. But if a group of people are admiring Legolas or anyone/thing else and you do not agree, keep it to yourself unless you can find a nice way of putting it.
Those are the only rules I can think of at the moment but more may be added.
If I find any post unfit for the forum I have the right to delete it, no questions asked!
I also have the right to delete any person I do not want on my forum!
:::RULES REGARDING YOUR PROFILE:::
#1 Avatars and signatures must be appropriate for all ages. Any vulgar or rude images or text will be removed from your profile by an admin and you will be suspended.
#2 Below are the ONLY acceptable options for banners and blinkies in your signature. If you do not abide by them you will recieve a warning.
* 2 banners and 1 blinkie * 1 banner and 3 blinkies * 4 blinkies * 2 banners
Anything over that is a no and anything under that is fine.
#3 No rude screennames. A member with such a name will be deleted.
If you have any rule suggestions feel free to IM them to me.
