- Be considerate towards other members. Rudeness is absolutely not tolerated. Keep swearing to the absolute minimum.
- Content must be kept at a PG-13 rating and posts containing any offensive or graphic materials are not allowed and will be taken down immediately. Such offenses include heavy swearing, content of a violent or overly sexual manner, racism, sexism and disrespect of other players' beliefs.
- Site advertisements must be placed in the appropriate area. Spamming is not appreciated.
- Theft will not be tolerated. If you come across anyone committing theft of any sort, please report it immediately and try to prevent flame-wars.
- Respect other players' beliefs. You may not agree with them on some topics, but you don't need to cause trouble. Operate on a "don't like, don't look" mode of thinking.
For minor offenses, the forum operates on a 'third strike and you're out' basis, that is, after committing offenses on three separate times, the user will be banned from the site. The admin will log the player's IP address and any accounts created with that address will also be deleted immediately.
First offense: Locked out of the site for a week
Second offense: Locked out of the site for a month
Third offense: Banned forever; account deleted
For major offenses, you will be banned straight away.
(For specific rules regarding contests, or trading, etc, go to the boards and read the stickied rules).
