The Rules of the Forums!
- Keep all topics in their appropriate forums. If you're unsure of the proper location for your topic, post it in General or Off Topic Discussion.
- Read all stickied threads in a forum before posting in it. If there is a "Thread Title Format" thread in the forum, read it. All threads not complying with the Thread Title Format sticky will be removed.
- If any post gets deleted or locked, do not make a thread identical or similar to the locked one, or make a thread asking why the previous was deleted or locked.
- Our forums are programmed with a list of words that are considered vulgar or inappropriate in any context, and these words are not allowed to be posted. Attempting to bypass the automatic censor by misspelling, inserting spaces or symbol, transposing letters, using look-alike symbols, or any other method is not allowed. Additionally, certain words are prohibited from being used in topic titles and user information pages; bypassing the censor to post those words where they are restricted is also not allowed.*Posting of pictures, with otherwise censored words, will result in a warning/infraction as well.*This will be extended to signatures and avatars. Also, auto-play media is considered bypassing a censor. We prohibit all auto-play functions on our profiles and forums
- Do not post in threads for the sole purpose of "bumping" or bringing the threads back to the top when they are no longer relevant. This just brings old, out-of-date threads back to the top which creates clutter.
- These issues are left to the discretion of the moderators and administrators, but may include any material that is knowingly false, defamatory, misleading, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, racist, sexist, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy or that otherwise violates any law or encourages conduct constituting a criminal offense. This will also include posting of emails, IMs, PMs, or any other communications where at least one party had the impression of it being private.
- Demeaning comments or images using race, religion, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity, handicap, nationality, or gender as a means of insult are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
- Impersonating Staff, Moderators , or a Higher ranked poster is a serious offense and will not be tolerated.
- Sexually Explicit Content is defined as sexually suggestive, nude, or nearly-nude images, links, or content that may be deemed inappropriate by Moderators or Administrators.
Please take this rules into consideration.
