Please read and adhere to the following rules & regs. They are in place for your benefit! Thank you in advance.[/b]
1. Please remember to try and keep it clean.
> In other words, try to keep things at a PG rating (PG-13 at the max).
2. Spamming of the board will NOT be tolerated at all.
> Spamming is repeatedly posting after yourself in a thread or the same topic over and over. It is pointless and unnecessary, not to mention, extremely annoying.
> If you want to post something in a thread that you just posted in, and no one has posted after you, please edit your post. Don't post again.
> Do not post “I agree”s, emoticons, or other 1-3 word posts in a discussion thread. That is also considered a form of spamming.
3. Respect your fellow board members. This is really just common sense "Golden Rule" stuff.
> There will be no name calling.
> There will be no flaming (personal attacks on or insults toward other members)
> There will be no derogatory remarks about other members’ posts (ex: referring to members’ comments, arguments, or opinions as stupid, lame, etc.) Come on guys, we're all grown-ups here, so let's act like it!
> No snide, snarky or rude comments toward, or bashing of the board, the staff, and the decisions thereof will be tolerated in any of the forums. If you have a grievance that you would like to air, please keep it in the form of a PM.
4. Please do not Direct Link to other people’s web sites for pictures!
> There are many free image hosts to use, for example Photobucket.com and imageshack.com. You can use those to host your images.
5. Please try to only have ONE ID on this board.
> Posting under more than one ID is deceptive and confusing to the other members of the board. So if you have multiple ID's, pick one of them to continue posting here.
> You can change how your name looks by changing the display name in your profile.
6. Trolling will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
> Trolling consists of purposely posting a thread with no other intent than to cause trouble on the board.
> Any post that is deemed “trollish” will be deleted and the poster will be given a warning. It is also possible for a troll to be immediately banned without any warnings, depending on the severity of the offense.
7. No stalker-like behavior will be tolerated. Stalking includes seeking out the person's personal address, phone number, work place, or attempting to track the individual down in person. If this occurs, PM one of the Admins immediately.
8. If you wish to speak on a ruling or action taken by the staff, or an action by a member, please keep it to a PM in order to avoid future disruption of the original thread discussion. Do not, and I repeat, Do not, post it on the thread where it happened.
> Members can SUGGEST that if they feel that a thread has been misplaced and a staff member has overlooked it.
10. Administrators and Moderators are the “enforcers and peacekeepers” of this board. They are the ones who will make decisions regarding the rules of the board. If you have an issue with a moderator or admin, please keep it a PM and do not start a thread.
> Admins and Mods will enforce the above rules regardless of personal feelings.
> No thread will be locked based on an email or personal feelings. They will only be locked based on the breaking of the rules, or if the threads' only purpose is to cause trouble and discontent.
> If a thread is moved, or edited based on the above rules, an explanation must and will be included by the moderator or administrator who did it.
> If a thread breaks out into a fight (hopefully this will not happen!), it will be locked and moved to the archive area immediately. If warnings are warranted, they will be given out.
11. [glow=red,2,300]There will be no banner or artwork of any kind of Henry, Coop, Victor, or Ivan![/glow]
12. Last, but not least ---- don't forget to have fun!
These rules are final and are not subject to debate.
If you have any questions about the rules, or if something doesn’t make sense, please do not hesitate to PM Me and I will be happy to help clear up any confusion!
If the rules are not followed, actions will be placed.
The staff reserves the right to change these rules as needed for the good of the board.
Thank you for reading this and enjoy your time here!
