Forum Rules
General ConductThese forums are E-Rated which means that content posted should be suitable for all ages, please do not post anything vulgar or inappropriate for a family environment, this includes double entendres and self censoring foul language. If you feel the need to curse, try and find a more eloquent thing to say … you will find your vocabulary expands.
Users should ….Be friendly and pleasant.
Be helpful.
Be respectful. We expect users to think about others when they post on these forums. If you think something might be offensive to others just don’t do it. Please do not enter into confrontation with other users, it creates and unfriendly environment for all users on the forums and is not the kind of environment we want for our members. If you have an issue with another member please try and sort it out in pm or ask for assistance from forum staff. We are here to enforce the rules, don’t try and enforce them for us by mini modding, it just causes unnecessary confrontation. If staff members don’t appear to be acting on inappropriate behaviour feel free to give us a nudge via the report post button or pm.
People will be more friendly and more willing to enter into conversations with you if you write with a good standard of English. 1337 and other forms of chat speak are frowned upon, however, acronyms such as 'lol' are fine. Please do not spam with caps or any other form of spam, its boring and annoying for others and will result in you being banned from the forums
Posting video/imagesYou may post links to videos and images on these forums, all we ask is that you ensure that the whole page is e-rated and does not contain links or images of non e-rated material.
Links to 4chan are not allowed under any circumstances.If posting images straight to the page rather than via link please make sure the image is no larger than 400x300 and 100kb, to reduce loading times.
Signatures and AvatarsThe dimensions allowed for avatars are 150x150 and 50kb. Signatures can be up to 500x150 and 50kb. You may have 6 lines of text instead of an image in your sig, or 2 lines in addition to an image. Anyone with images/text larger than this will result in their removal and if found to be persistently breaking these rules will have their sig privileges removed for an indefinite period of time.
HelpIf you are unsure of how to use any of the features on these forums please read the
help file which contains a comprehensive guide to the workings of these forums and is located next to the
'home' tab near the top of the forums.
What to expect if you step outside of the rulesIf a staff member considers that you are behaving inappropriately (whether that particular behaviour is covered in the rules or not) you will receive a friendly warning, if you continue you are likely to receive a less friendly warning, if you still continue you will be banned for one week from the forums. If you are banned for a week and return with the same attitude you will receive a two week ban, the third time you return after a ban and consistently break the rules you will be permanently banned from the forums.
We will not enter into confrontation with members and will refuse to discuss further if a member is abusive
We reserve the right to miss out any of the warning steps at our discretion if we feel that a user should be banned immediately
