It was inevitable that I would add some rules.
Some of the most important rules that have to be followed are actually not my rules, they are the rules of Proboards. They are as follows:
Now on to my rules!
Other rules may be added in the future if they are needed.
Some of the most important rules that have to be followed are actually not my rules, they are the rules of Proboards. They are as follows:
- You must be 13 years of age or older to register for an account.
- No direct linking of photos on other sites without the site owners permission. If you wish to show a picture on the board then you must download it from the site you found it on and upload it to your own server or a site such as Photobucket which allows uploaded photos to be direct linked to. This also applies to signatures and avatars.
- Discussions must be in English.
- If you want to post about a news article you read online, you may only copy a few sentences of the article and then post a link to the full article. Copying entire articles is a violation of copyright.
Now on to my rules!
- Please be respectful of other people's opinions.
- No arguing, no flaming, no verbal attacking of ANYONE.
- If you have a problem with another member on the board, contact me.
- Please do not make a post that has only smilies in it. If you can't at least write something with it, you don't need to post it.
- No double posting unless 24 hours has passed from your previous post. If you post a message and then realize that you made a mistake or forgot to say something else, go and select the MODIFY button and edit your original message.
- Try to keep threads on topic. I realize that it can be quite easy to take a thread off-topic but just try not to. If need be, create a new thread to discuss whatever it is that would otherwise take another thread off track.
- No discussions on Religion and/or Politics. Those are two things that tend to start arguments. Besides, there are plenty of other places that you can discuss those things at if you really want to.
- Do not advertise your site in posts. You can put your site link in your profile and in your signature.
- Please do not post images larger than 500 pixels wide. If an image is larger than that, please post the link to it instead. Or use a clickable thumbnail image.
- Please try to create a Subject title that is relative to the subject of your post.
- Please keep the swearing to a minimum. Only light swearing will be tolerated. The harsher swear words may not be used.
- Signatures - any content you put in your signature area should not take up more than 500x250 pixels. And the file size of any images used in your signature area should not total more than 500KB.
- Avatars - please be sensible. You don't need to use a wallpaper for your avatar. So try to keep the avatar images relatively small, since an avatar can not be larger than 100x100 it's pointless to use an image larger than that. If there is an image that is larger and you'd like it for your avatar, the graphic request board is there to help.
Other rules may be added in the future if they are needed.
