Here are some basic rules for this site. Please follow them and everything will be ok.
Swearing
Swearing is for the most part allowed. If you can please to to at least censor one letter, i.e. sh*t . Then we will have no problems if you are caught using extreme profanity then you will get a warning.
Spam
Spam is a few different things. First off, posting a link to your own site off topic. There is no problem posting your site on the general board. However, repeated posting of your site is not allowed, unless there is a reason. Putting the link to your site in your sig is allowed, and encouraged. Secondly, spam is posting just random stupid things. This is not allowed, because all it does is clutter the boards. If you are unsure about what would be spam and what wouldnt, just ask.
Flaming
Flaming is insulting other users. This is ONLY allowed if you are doing it jokingly. Flaming other users is not allowed, and flaming staff is definatly not allowed. This is probably the worst thing to do.
Trolling
Trolling is posting solely to annoy other users, trying to get them to flame you. This is not allowed, unless you are joking.
Punishment
I really dont want to have to punish anyone, but sometimes it is required. For your first time breaking a rule, I will just tell you about it. If you do it again, I will strongly warn you about it. If you still continue, you will be put on warned status. Continuing through the bad status levels, eventually if you keep at it you will be banned.
Warning Levels
Warned-Level 1
Warned-Level 2
Probationary-will be suspended or banned at any offense
Suspended-All your posts will get deleted as sonn as you post them. Any offense will get you banned. Posting is not an offense, but theres no way for me to keep you from posting without banning you.
Banned-Your username is banned
IP banned- if you sign up again, and continue to break the rules, and I find out its you, you will be IP banned.
Note: This applies to the whole site.
