The rules.

[Nightfighter89]

There are three very simple rules that we ask you to observe:

1.) No trolling
2.) No spam
3.) No porn

Now for clarification:

1.) Trolling is considered the deliberate starting of fights or the stirring of shit. We are expanding the definition to include excessive personal attacks against other members, as well as (especially) physical threats. Disagreeing with someone else is accepted and encouraged, however do so in a respectful manner. A little occasional heat keeps things interesting, but if pissing matches become too extreme, there will be intervention. The community as a whole does not care who has the larger penis, so send each other pictures via PM and settle it that way rather than through fights that span multiple threads.

2.) This is self explanatory. No commercial advertising, except as approved by the moderators. Do not post the same thread multiple times, nor the same post. Do not bump a thread repeatedly, and do not bring up the same issue with the same member in multiple and unrelated threads. That last one also qualifies as trolling. If you have a neat new website or something, feel free to make a thread about it, though a more suiting way to spread the word may be to place it in your signature.

3.) You know what porn is. There is an NSFW forum for material that is questionable, but outright pornography will still not be tolerated. If something that you post would be within the gray area between racy and pornographic, please post a warning before the link indicating such.

Other thoughts/points:

• A good rule to keep in mind overall is simply: No bullshit. Don't push limits just to push them or test other members' endurance for the same reason. Don't be an asshole.
• Enforcement will consist of warnings by mods as well as bans ranging from 24 hours to permanent.
• Posts will never EVER be edited by mods except at the request of the poster or in the case of a very real safety or security concern.
• While we aren't going to split hairs over minor grammatical, spelling, or capitalization mistakes, we do not want to try and decipher you 13375p34k (leetspeak for those of you that are fortunate enough to not be able to read that). What is considered an acceptable level of deviance from proper English grammar will be at the discretion of the moderators and administrators. You have the right to express and defend any viewpoint you wish here, but you do not have the right to do so in a way that would make an English professor hang himself.
• Multiple accounts are not allowed.
• If you are banned, just accept it. You certainly deserve it.
