Rules
Thank you for taking time to view the rules that govern the MudBlood Heaven Forums. We do enforce these rules to the letter and of course, those that break the rules will be warned and/or banned depending on the nature of the offense. 2. The goal of MBH Forums is to make sure everyone has a good time and can make friends. Obviously not everyone will agree with one another and we ask that you respect the opinions of others. Making sarcastic, or rude remarks directed at another member, or attacking others for holding views different to your own will not be tolerated. If you see this taking place, please report it to a staff member. 3. The Staff of MBH Forums comprise of the Root Admins, Admins, executives, and prefects. None of us are paid to do this job and therefore we are all maintaining this forum because we too are dedicated fans of the Harry Potter novels. While we appreciate and value your opinions on all topics, a Moderator's decision is final. If you continuously argue with members of staff, or respond rudely to warnings, then more warnings can and will be issued. If you wish to complain about a warning you have received, PM one of the Administrators. 4. Please remember to watch your spelling, grammar and abbreviations. Lazy English and Instant Messaging/phone text lingo is not appreciated by anyone and doesn't help our many members who speak English as a second language. Please try and be as clear and precise as you can when posting. Remember to spell check your work using an online spell checker or MSWord and ALL CAPS is not to be used when posting comments. Ensure that you do not double or triple post. We have a handy edit feature to edit any comments back into a post if you can. We may consider it post-count boosting if you do this. 5. Under each forum you will notice a description. This indicates what sort of topics we expect to see in there, so be sure to read the descriptions carefully. If you are unsure about where to post your ideas, then please PM an administrator. Remember also to utilise the search facility provided by MBH Forums, otherwise you may find yourself repeating threads that have already been started. 6. When creating a new thread, think about how you want to start it. The first impression an individual gets from your thread is the title, so it should be as clear as possible. A thread with the title "Phoenix", does not give members much of a reason to visit your thread, let alone comment within it. If you feel the absolute urge to post about your undying love for Harry or Draco or the actors, then your thread will be closed and you will be a sent a warning from a member of staff. Finally, please remember that all images uploaded to a thread must be relevant to the thread. Any that aren't, will be removed for bandwidth reasons. 7. Threads that are created with the sole purpose of providing negative commentary towards an actual person/persons are not permitted. If you wish to critique a public figure, make sure your comments are constructive and reasonable. These principles also apply to signatures, avatars, and the like. Additionally, threads that de-generate into nothing more than hate-filled ranting will also be closed and members will be warned in either case. 8. Signatures are permitted on MBH, but there is a need to limit the type of signature you can have. This is to help reduce the load time of a thread for members on slower dial up connections. You may edit your signature in your profile and include one (1) small image of up to 400x400 pixels and up to 7 lines of 8-12 point (size1-3) text. We will not allow html codes in signatures... No audio, javascripts, iframes or other "tricks" allowed. A root admin or Administrator has the right to remove anything at anytime. Please also remember to close all tags and not to use ' < nobr >' . Last, please do not use excessive smilies. Smilies are a nice feature, but too many at one time can be very off putting. We are limiting smilies to 4 per signature. 9. MBH Forums does not encourage members to openly discuss file sharing activities. Whilst we understand that file sharing is a fact of life and will be continued by a lot of people, we will not allow members to openly support this activity publicly. Any threads which discuss, request or encourage downloading of illegal material such as the HP Movies or MP3s will be deleted by staff, and offending members will receive a two-point warning. Private discussion is between yourselves and is not discouraged, but we would strongly advise you look elsewhere for file sharing tips and advice. This rule WILL be enforced. 10. Advertising is allowed at MBH but only in your signitures. Any topis started anywhere that talks about your site and advertises it will be deleted. Any post that suggests your site for a random reason will be deleted. 11. Here at MBH we have certain rules conserning Emotions. Our rule conserning them in posts is that their may not be more than 5 of them in a post. This is brought to you because of the amount of posts where emo's are the only ones in them.
