Rules / Guidelines:
- Stay relevant to the topic. If you want to talk about something irrelevant, create a new thread OR look for an existing thread relating to what you want to discuss.
- No Spamming. Simple rule. Posting content that is complete nonsense, bumping old threads and creating duplicate threads is not appreciated around here
- NO ADVERTISING ALLOWED! Advertising is not acceptable at all. Any advertising will immediately be deleted and if necessary, you will be permanently banned
- A combination of spam AND advertising is completely prohibited. You will be immediately dealt with
- Double posting, triple posting .etc is NOT acceptable. There is an edit button for a reason. If you can't do that, then you'll be dealt with accordingly.
- Content that discriminates / degrades someone else is NOT allowed. You'll be dealt with
- Don't spam the Admins / Mods for a request to change your custom title or it'll be taken off you.
- Swearing will not be tolerated so we've taken the liberty of adding common cussing to a Censorship List. If you use those words, they will be simply blurred out. Avoiding the system on purpose will not be tolerated and it'll be added to our list (blurring out every letter except for one yourself will be exempted but any other kind of self censoring will not be accepted).
- Obscene content will NOT be tolerated and will be dealt with IMMEDIATELY!
- Warning System -
A simple 3 strike warning system is set in place. Once your warning level hits a strike threshold, you'll receive a strike. If you accumulate 3 strikes, you will be permanently banned from the forums (name, email, IP). The max amount your warning level can receive for an offense is the amount it takes to reach a strike with the exception of instant bans.
Strike Thresholds:
- Verbal: You will receive a verbal warning if you repeatedly break the rules. The mods can choose to add any amount they deem appropriate for your warning level.
- First Strike: You are noted down on our warning list and you will be monitored carefully.
- Second Strike: You will lose the ability to PM other users and you'll be on your final chance
- Third & Final Strike: Incurring a third strike will be followed by an immediate ban by one of the Admins. You'll be unable to access the forums
Other Info:
If you feel unjustly warned, you must contact the staff member who warned you so you can get clarification. The Site Owner will have the final say if you can't come to an agreement with the staff member. If you feel unjustly banned, you must contact the Site Owner. Only he will determine your case. To lower your warning level, you must obey the rules and wait for the staff to deem your behavior as acceptable.
- Custom Titles -
Once you reach 300 posts, your stars will change to Yellow. You may then PM myself or an Admin of this forum to add a custom title to your profile of your choosing. You may only change it once every 2 months. Requests can be denied if it's deemed breaking a rule.
Upon reaching the final rank, indicated by your rank stars changing to a special 7★ icon (check my profile for a preview), I will send you a PM about name / title colours. You may choose what colour you want displayed for your name if you wish. I won't reveal the amount of posts required to get it but I will say that it's a lot.
Your name colour must be able to be easily readable against a black background or you will have to make another choice for a colour.
