Rules AKA Compulsory Guidelines.

This rules list is subject to revision and updates. We will try to be as fair as possible about it, however. I'll put the last revision date in the post title for convenience.

1) Post in the correct section. For instance, Video Game related posts go in the Video Game section. Posts that don't belong will most likely be moved.

2) DO NOT SHOUT. We can hear you just fine. Using all capitals is often interpeted as rude, so please don't.

3) You must make sense. Tiping lyk thz iz n0t kewl.

4) You only need one exclamation ! or question mark ? It's really obnoxious when people post like this: "How do I do this ??????????????????" or "That's awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" C'mon people. We get the point just as well if you only use 1 or 2. Thanks.

5) Thread titles must be descriptive and specific -- NOT generic. You need to use descriptive thread titles. The following are examples of thread titles that are NOT ALLOWED:
"Help"
"Please help"
"I need help"
"Can you help"
"HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!" (if you post like this you WILL be banned)
"Hello"
"I'm new"

This pollutes the forum with generic threads and makes it impossible to navigate. Imagine if everyone posted with thread titles like this and we had pages full of "Help!!", "Please help", "Please I'm a newbie" or even "Hi" or "Pony" ... it would be stupid.

6) Be courteous to others. Constructive criticism is generally welcome and encouraged. Starting fights and being rude is not.

7) Do not private message the moderators asking to be a moderator.

8 ) Do not post inappropriate images or derogatory words. For example, the word "gay" is not an insult. Neither is the word "retarded". Photographs of people, whether modified or unedited, should not be of a "seductive" or lecherous nature. "Erotic art" is not permitted. Remember, this is a family-friendly board. Let's keep it that way.

9) Putting images in your signature is fine, however, annoying, blinking, or especially inappropriate images will be removed (also refer to #10, 11)

10) Avatar size requirements: They must not be wider than 120 pixels, nor taller than 160 pixels.

11) Signature size requirements: 500px by 150px

12) Do not include the [quote], [hide],or [spoiler] tags in your signature.

13) Don't feed the trolls. If you notice someone is trolling the forum, don't respond to them. A mod will deal with them soon enough. This includes SPAM posts--don't respond to them.

14) Don't create useless polls.

15) All forum activity must be in ENGLISH.

16) Do not 'bump' your own thread unless it has received 0 replies and it has been 24 hours since you posted it. You may not bump a thread more than once. ('Bumping' refers to posting simply to get your post moved to the top of the list--"Is anyone listening?", "I really need some help here!", "Can't anyone help me?", "Help!", "bump", "up", etc.)

When bumping your thread, it may be wise to edit the original post to give more details as the usual reason no one responds to a post is because it is too confusing.

17) Do not "bite" newcomers / newbies.

18) No "warez" discussion. Encouraging or aiding in illegal download of software, music, videos, etc. is against forum rules.

19) Don't post huge images. Not everyone has an internet connection as fast as yours or a monitor as large, so don't make their pages take 10 minutes to load and don't make them scroll sideways. Keep images no larger than 800 pixels tall or wide. You're welcome to post clickable thumbnails and links to a larger version.
