*rules specification.



General Board-wide

*Aimed at a general audience. This means our site is designed for 13 year olds and older. Everything must be aimed at this age and older. Explicit,vulgar language, drug talk, nudity, porn and so forth is not allowed.
*Do not mini-mod. We would like to encourage and thank members to use the report button but not add their own criticism. Impersonating a staff member is a serious offense and may lead to a permanent ban.
*All publicly displayed messages are only limited to English. This includes posts, titles, signatures, profiles and other forms of public display.

Warning System
*Members who disobey the rules will be warned or banned depending on what the moderator believes is the appropriate punishment.
*Members can be warned a maximum of two times consequently. On the third, the member will be immediately banned. This does not mean that you have to have a warning to get banned, moderators may ban you without warnings depending on the offense.
*A warning can have a time bomb unless you're banned. If a time bomb is set, your warning will automatically expire after a certain number of days.

If you believe you do not deserve the warn please contact the moderator who warned you. Talking back to the moderator who gave you the warning with no sense of respect will lead to further warnings.

If you do not know why you received a warning, an email and private message would have been sent to notify you of the reason why you were warned and who warned you.

Posting Etiquette (manners)
*Treat others positively and with respect. Flaming other members or other forums will lead to a warning, possibly even a ban.
*Topics must be submitted to the relevant forums. Please read the forum descriptions before posting.
*Topic titles must have an appropriate description.
Example:


An example for a good description is "Help needed with game".

An example for a wrong description is "HEEEEELP!".

*Bumping is allowed provided that the reply has relevant information that is useful to the continuance of the topic. Short intervals of bumps are not allowed to bump the topic up onto the first page by the same person.

Example:


Allowed: A topic discusses a news event. The topic's discussion has died but there is new striking evidence to turn thoughts around. A reply with such information that is relevant and useful is allowed.

Allowed: Requests (Includes requests in helpdesk & graphics) may only be bumped once every 48 hours since the last reply.

Disallowed: Bumping topics continuously to get them up to the first few pages. This includes using additional accounts (either your own or others) to do so.


*Double posting of the same links (also called dupe) may lead to a warning, especially if you have your own independent topic for a set of links and yet still post the same links in related topics with the intention of gaining exposure.
*It is generally forbidden to double post on the board. It means that you are not allowed to reply twice in a row in any topic. Use the edit button when altering your reply if you're the last to post in the topic.
*ontent of posts should not be explicit, offensive, shocking, discussions of demerit commodities unless it is posted in an educational sense.

Example:


Mainly for movies: Mainstream horror, gore and bloody movies are allowed. Videos such as bum fights, real death scenes, cruelty to animals, or anything which is indecent/sick is not allowed.

Disallowed: Hacking, fraud, drug related, porn and political/religious discussions even if educational.

*All links must be coded - including, but not limited to, e-mail addresses, passwords and internal links (eg

Code:

Link placed inside here

).
*No topic (going off topic).
*You must add tags in all topic titles within the Games and Movies forums and their sub forums. Tags in other forums are optional.

Example:


A [HTTP] tag is added to the beginning of the topic title if there is a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] link in the post. If you would like more examples please go into those forums to have a look.

*Removal of moderated messages is not allowed.
*Posting mirror links in a topic is not allowed. Members who wish to share are required to start their own topic, with the appropriate information as required for any other share.
*Members are allowed to make a huge topic with an index on first thread only if all the download links are posted in the same thread as posts/replies.
*
When their previous post has exceeded the maximum characters limit, or if they have relevant content to add to their topic 24 hours after the previous reply was made, members are allowed to double or triple post.


Spam Rules

*You may only promote your website once. This may be done in the Link Heaven section and only applies to sites that are within the rules.
*Passwords that advertise other sites are allowed provided that they are required. If the passwords are not required the poster will be punished as a spamming member.
*Excessive posting of similar messages to increase post count is not allowed.
