Additional Forum Rules

FORUM FIGHTS

Do not engage in fights with anyone, whether in a topic or via PM. If you notice some flare-ups between members in a topic, or have good reason in believing that one will start, either report the possible fight-starting post, or PM an admin about it. If you join in the fight, even in trying to break it up, you will be punished accordingly.


SPAM REPORTING

If you don't report any posts, you have no right to say that we have too much spam here. Do not be afraid to report posts. If the post is in reality acceptable, then that's okay; all the staff has to do is discard the report, and no harm is done.


DISCRIMINATING AGAINST FORUMS

If you post purposely hurtful, or what could be interpreted as purposely hurtful, comments about a different forum, in this forum, then you will receive punishment to an uncertain level.


RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS

All religious subjects will be allowed unless arguments become an issue. Keep it peaceful and we'll let you participate.


UNOFFICIAL CONTESTS

All contests between this forum and any other, without proper notification, are strictly prohibited. You may suggest a contest to the Administrators to be discussed between themselves, then to be discussed with the staff of the forum in which the contest is intended to be held against.


THREATENING OF MEMBERS

If you are found to have threatened another member or member of the staff, you will receive punishment to an uncertain level.


PERSONAL INFORMATION

The posting of your age or date of birth, location, name, email address, pictures of any person, or pictures of your house and/or property is prohibited.*1 If you are unsure whether a piece of information falls into any of these categories, PM an Administrator.


GRAMMAR PROBLEMS

In order to make the forum enjoyable to all, we must put some effort into our grammar. This includes capitalizing the word "I", using commas and apostrophes correctly, using a period at the end of every sentence, and using a question mark when asking a question. And if possible, use the original word, and not the shortened version of it (e.g. "okay" instead of "ok"). Lastly, no "leet" or immoderate slang (i.e. using "r" for "are", "u" for "you", "y" for "why", etc.).*2
If anybody has trouble with any of that, PM a staff member.


POSTING INSTEAD OF TALKING VIA PM

Do not post a topic asking a question about something that should really be discussed with an Administrator. That just stirs up uneasiness in people who would otherwise be content with their present situation. Also, do not hold a conversation with anybody that would be more suited to PMs.
