RULES
Updated 6th October 2015
Section 1: Rules that apply everywhere
1. Do not flame other members. Do not flame someone even if they have flamed you. Just report it to a staff member, and they will deal with it appropriately. We don’t want flame wars. Flaming someone is calling them names, insulting them, telling lies about them, and generally being nasty to that member.
2. No spamming. That means short posts with no meaning, long posts with copy/pasted or repeating content, anything with no structure. All that goes in the '[R] Thread' so put it there if you have to post it. Spam posts in other threads will be deleted.
3. Topics. Try not to create pointless topics with no meaning, especially in the RP sections. If you have a question, you may make a topic in the Rules & Questions board, if you have read the FAQ and still don’t have an answer.
4. We don’t like double posts anywhere. There is a button called ‘modify post’ which should be used in all situations.
5. When you post in the RP, you must post at least two lines. (Three if you are including speech.) This makes it easier for other members to RP with you.
6. Literacy is of utmost importance here. Your posts must be spelt correctly and have a good level of grammar, otherwise you may be asked to re-write it. Lots of browsers come with built-in spell checks, so use them.
7. You MUST use proper English at all times on the forum, there is no excuses. No text talk, no 1337-speak.
8. No advertising in signatures. You are allowed one linked image, or one text link. You are not allowed to write anything else related to the site you're advertising. This is because we're having a little trouble with sites who sign a lot of people up for free advertising in signatures.
9. Do not PM staff members asking to be promoted.
10. You are only allowed two images in your signature to keep loading times down and stop the page becoming too long. This applies to all images above 100x100 - anything lower you can have multiple of. If it stretched the page horizontally it needs to be removed immediately - 500px width is about the most we can have.
11. Because of American Law, you are not allowed to sign up if you are under 13 years of age. I am forced to ban anyone who is under that age, so if I find out your account will be suspended until your thirteenth birthday.
12. Don't derail threads by posting about stuff not related to the topic. If you want to discuss another topic, either make a new topic, or take it to the [R] thread.
