Official Forum Rules.

Please Follow These Rules Or Face The Consequences.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLAMING - Flaming is insulting members in any way, shape or form. It will not be tolerated on these forums. Treat your fellow members with respect. If you have a problem with someone, let it go. Fights over the internet are hardly worth it. Leave the person alone, ignore them. Do not even use words relating to what people might consider offensive. I need not list them, you know what doesn't fly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPAM - 'Spam' commonly stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. It is used to describe posts and topics that have no purpose , are off topic, or are better off not posted at all. Posting of spam here will not be tolerated and may be deleted. Posting of similar messages to increase post count is also considered spam.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DOUBLE POSTING - You are not allowed to make two posts or more directly after the other in a single topic. Bumping of threads is allowed but you may only do so every 24 hours.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRAVEDIGGING - Gravedigging is the act of posting in a thread that has been inactive or 'dead' for quite some time. This is annoying and is usually done to increase post count. Although there is no set time to when a thread becomes 'dead' it is advised that you use your common sense.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BACKSEAT MODERATING - Let the Forum Moderators do the moderating. Backseat Moderating is when people who are not Moderators try to enforce the forum rules. Whenever you see a person breaking the rules, take advantage of the Report button or simply IGNORE the offensive post(s) or thread and let a Moderator get to it. Backseat Moderating can be both annoying and pointless.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POSTING REQUIREMENTS - All posts require more than one word. Failure to do so will result in a warning. This rule applies to all forums with the exception of off-topic. Emoticons do not count as words; you must use at least two real English words.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TROLLING - I've seen multiple forums and from what I've seen trolling isn't too much of a problem here. A troll is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or offtopic messages in an online community with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response. Another reason for trolling could be to generally disrupt normail on-topic discussion. Whatever the case may be, the best thing to do is just to report someone who is trying to troll.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADVERTISING - This rule is strickly illegal and will not be tolerated by any means. This also goes for PMing. You are not allowed to advertise other websites, servers, or anything of that matter on forum posts or on individual threads.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAKING THREADS - It is required of all members to search before they create new topics in order to avoid reposting an existing topic. These topics would only be deleted by the staff members. By seaching beforehand, you can avoid going through the trouble to make a new topic to only have it closed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LANGUAGE - These forums are for use of English only. Please do not use any other languages than English. This rule is in place as the Moderators here use English as our primary language. We cannot moderate languages that we do not understand. Please understand why this rule is in place and if you are not fluent in English, all we ask is that you try your best.
