da RULES
[ General Rules ] 1. Common courtesy is law. Be nice to others and don't be rude or disrespectful. Do not flame. 2. Do not spam. What you type here should be intelligent and readable. Try not to use chatspeak too much. 3. Do not cause unnecessary drama. If you have a problem with someone, try to sort it out with them privately before coming to a moderator/administrator. If there's something about the forum itself that bothers you, contact me about it. 4. Respect the administrators and moderators. What they do is for the good of the forum. If a mod or admin is being rude to you for no reason, PM me (Kronakitty). 5. Do not post inappropriate material like hentai, porn, or other things that are not appropriate. This is an overall PG to PG13 forum. 6. Do not make multiple accounts. If you want your name changed, you can use the name change function in your user control panel and an admin will have to approve it. Don't change your name too often though, or no one will know who you are. 7. Any sort of racism or offensive speech is not tolerated. [ Posting ] 1. Must follow all the rules mentioned above. 2. Do not stretch the page! If you type a really long line with no spacing between words/letters, it will most likely stretch the page. 3. Make sure it is on-topic! Simple statements that are one to few words will be considered spam. Please post something relevant to the topic! 4. Do not double-post (posting directly after one of your posts). Please use the Edit button -- it's there not just because it looks good. The one exception to this is if you're updating a fanfiction or sprite thread. 5. Do not post stolen works. Never take something without the original person's permission. Thieves will be warned and potentially banned on the spot. 6. Do not post in a topic that has gone without posts for two or more months. This is considered bumping and is quite annoying as it cycles the active topics back and brings up information that may be outdated. 7. Do not advertise anywhere outside the Advertising forum and your signature. [ Signatures and Avatars ] 1. No inappropriate/offending messages/images. 2. Max width for signature banners/images are 450x250. 3. No Flash works or excessive animations. They can be annoying and slow down some browsers. 4. Please refrain from having music that automatically play when the page loads. 5. No YouTube videos. They are allowed, however, to be posted with a topic - just not within a sig. 6. Other types of media are pretty much okay if they aren't big, obnoxious, and disruptive. Feel free to run something by an admin if you're unsure whether it's allowed. [ How Warnings Work ] For everything that a mod/admin deems has clearly violated the rules, the offender will receive one official warning. There are no such things as "warning you before giving a real warning". No. Breaking the rules = warnings, period. Of course, if someone did something small on accident and it's not a big deal, they may be excused as long as they're aware they broke the rules and will not do it again. Every six months or so, a member with warnings can ask for a "clean slate". It will probably be granted as long as his or her offense wasn't major and they're really willing to be better.
