[Account / Profile]

For more information concerning any of the rules, view the "Rule Descriptions" page linked above.


Account / Profile

• Only one account per member is allowed. Multiple accounts will be deleted and subjected to a ban. If a single Internet connection is used to make multiple accounts (friends, family, etc) please contact a staff member so it can be recorded.
• Please keep your display name to a maximum of 20 characters.
• Display names, profile information, signatures, or avatars cannot contain mature content or links to mature content.
• Signatures cannot be more than an overall 300 pixels in height – text, images, etc. included.
• If using art that does not belong to you in your signature or avatar, it is strongly encouraged that you ask the artist's permission to do so, or at least provide a link to the artist to give credit.

Starting New Topics

• Please check a topic does not already exist. Multiple posts of the same topic are frowned upon.
• Please make sure to post your topic in the most appropriate forum for the subject matter.
• Please use descriptive subjects in all topics and posts, and do not make titles in all capital letters.

Posts and Replies

• Please do not post spam.
• Do not sell yourself or ask for cyber on the forums.
• Religious and political topics are allowed as long as they remain clean. Public bashing will not be tolerated.
• Please do not steer threads off-topic. Make a new thread.
• If a post is more than 2 weeks old, please contact a moderator before resurrecting it.
• Any material of a sexually explicit nature is not allowed.
• Any material found to be inappropriate for minors or offensive is not acceptable.

General

• Treat each forum member with respect. Do not personally attack other users.
• No extreme profanity - partially or completely censored. Censoring a word still leaves it's meaning intact and we feel that no such language is ever required when alternatives exist.
• All material posted on the forums must be in English. This includes profile information.
• Linking to other forums is not allowed without prior moderator consent.
• Anything which can be construed as drama will be removed or edited, this includes posts, display names, signatures and more. We fully understand the fact that every member here may have off days and feel down but we wish you to keep such feelings in Personal Messages please. When it starts to spill over into the forums it just causes issues.

Concerning Moderators

• Please contact a moderator if you see someone breaking the rules or have a question.
• Be respectful of staff members. If you ever feel a moderator responds to anything incorrectly or inappropriately, please ask for a second opinion from another moderator or administrator.
• When reporting to a moderator, only contact one at a time, and let any subsequent mods know who you contacted before them.
