FORUM RULES

FORUM RULES
G'day and Welcome to The Chronicle Chamber Forums! Please take the time to read the following rules for posting, avatar and signature guidelines. There aren't too many so don’t fret. Although we gave these rules we are really a casual lot. Rule for posting: •No spamming the forums. This includes repeating the same things over and over. It just annoys people and makes a whole lot of rot users have to wade through. •Nonsense polls - polls such as asking for sock colour and useless bits of info. •Please try to avoid double posting. If you must make another post right after a previous one make sure it’s for a good reason. Otherwise, simply edit your first post and include your new text there. •Inserting an irrelevant comment to a thread for the purpose of interruption. •Bumping of threads simply so your post can get attention. •Fun topics are fine for the Misty Mountains but spam is not allowed anywhere on the board. The Misty Mountains is also a bit more lenient with topics that aren't too serious and going off-topic is normal/expected in this forum only. •Please take the time to put some thought into your posts. Failure to comply with this by posting any of the above will result in a public warning. •Use of inappropriate language is not permitted. Please also be aware that this is an international board. What may not offend you may be offensive to someone else. •If you're unsure if a word is going to be considered swearing, use an alternative word to be safe or PM the Admin, team member or admin. to check. One shouldn't need to swear to get their point across to members. Failure to comply with this will result in a public warning. •No posting of illegal or illicit material/files. Any users deemed to be posting such material will be banned without warning. •Multiple User Names are not permitted. If you need to change your user name for some reason, please contact one of the Admon first. Multiple accounts per user are not permitted and posting with multiple accounts could result in immediate banning. Obviously there may be more than one family member using the same IP address and there for that address will have more than one User. If this is the case please let the Admin or Mods know. Creating new users to avoid banning is NOT allowed, and doesn't work anyway as there are ways around that we can take. •No Flaming. Flaming consists of being unreasonably disagreeable or hostile in a reply to a post, especially with regards to an opinion or situation that you don't agree with. If you have an issue with any post, rather than attacking other members or making a scene, it's your duty to inform a moderator or admin privately so they can review the post. Members who flame others will be warned. Signature and Avatar Guidelines •Avatars - must be 90 X 90 pixels and no larger than 50kb. They must be in gif, jpg or png format. NO flash avatars, please. If your ave does not appear correctly (pixelated, etc) please contact the Admin as your ave setting may have to be changed. •Signatures - please keep the lines of text to a minimum. Graphics are allowed, but they must not have a total height over 100 pixels or awidth of over 500 pixels and should not exceed 40KB. The Warning System At the bottom of your Name plate (where your user name and/or Avatar appear) in each post you will notice the word Warn with a percentage next to it. This warning level is to warn members how close they are to being banned. Once the percentage reaches 100% the member will be band. Your warning level will increase if you cause any sort of trouble on the forums, and the level goes up by 20% increments each warning, which gives you 5 chances. Also, you will be given a public warning in the offending post. Illegal Merchandise Recently on another forum a member tried to sell illegal copies of Phantom comics to fans. These illegal copies were in the form of scans of comic book pages and comic strips. This is not only against the law but it also morally wrong and cheats the artists and writers who created the works out of their well deserved earnings. Anyone found trying to sell illegal copies of Phantom merchandise, but it scans of comics, burnt DVDs, CDs or any other illegal merchandise, will be given a public warning and their post deleted. If the offending member is found to be trying to sell these items a second time they will be banned from the forums with no warning. That wraps up the rules. Now go and get posting and we’ll see you on the forums Cheers, The Chronicle Chamber Team.
