These are the rules of the forum, explanation of what each means as follows. Not knowing the rules is not an excuse. We will gently remind of the rules when you first break them. If you continue to persist in it, we will then warn you via the warning system and a PM explaining what is wrong and why you need to cease. After that it will be a 24-, 36-, 48-hours banning for each infringement, after the last one it will be perma-banned from the forums.

Spammers, get no second chance, they are automatically perma-banned.

The Rules

1) No bigoted remarks will be tolerated, be they racial, religious, or otherwise.
---This includes, but is not limited to making snide comments about Jews (as we've already nagged at people for), Religious comments, politics, or anything else that can be construed as insulting or bigotry. If you aren't sure, take the side of caution and just don't do it.

2) No nudity, be it in a linked picture, posted picture, linked website, or avatar.
--We will delete and warn immediately for any nudity. Posting a warning is not suitable either. Just don't do it.

3) No flaming, trolling, name calling, baiting, or harrasment.
Flaming, plain and simple is calling someone a moron, an idiot or name calling in general just because you have no better arguement than that. If you have nothing to say, don't say anything at all.

Trolling is looking for a fight and wording things or attacking people in a way so that you are considered a troll. Trolls are bad. Report them and do not feed them.

Baiting is similar to trolling except its doing things to where they'll respond or be upset and flame in return.

Ghis and I will edit your lovely posts into something sickingly sweet anytime you troll/flame/insult/harass. Just don't do it.

4) No SPAM. SPAM will be edited or deleted and promptly locked.

5. Signatures.
--Signature images need to be restricted to 600x125 pixels and less than 50k in size.
--You may have multiple images in signatures, however they cannot exceed the 125pixel height or the file size.
--Text signatures need to be a little more contained than they have been. translation, tone them down. Many of the signatures make up the majority of a post, which just isn't right. So tone them down. I'd like to keep to a maximum of 6ish lines. I'm not gonna be strict on it unless it doesn't change.

6. Stay on topic
--As it is. If you derail a topic, we'll lock it after a few posts of derailment.

The biggest rule, however is this:

"Be nice or don't post. "
