Allright guys, new mod, new rules. Please follow these and everything will be fine.
1. Spamming - The art of posting obscene and nutse comments.
------------------------
Please do not spam. This is one of the most common ways a person will get banned. Making short posts, or double posting and even flaming someone, advertising, and one liners, going off topic etc. All of these are spam. Please try to refrain from doing this.
------------------------
2. Flaming - The art of insulting someone, or using fould language
-----------------------
This is yet another big issue. I do not know what the mods did with this, but I am trusting most of you are mature enough to not flame. For flaming there are no 3 chances. One strike and you recieve a 5 day ban. Try to think your post before making it.
----------------------
3. Dupliacte Threads/ Double posting- Making a thread that already exists, and posting twice in a row.
----------------------
This may not seem to be too harmfull but it is just annoying. Before making a new thread to ask a question please at least make an attempt to check the thread index at the top of the page. The issue with double posting is not that big, but it can get you a PPD. Use the little icon at the bottom of your page that says [Edit] instead of double posting.
---------------------
4. Advertising - Linking to another forum/site and asking others to join. Ex. proboards/hyperboards/freewebs etc.
----------------------
If you have a forum at a different site and you wish others to join, please do not advertise it in threads or make a new thread just to advertise. This will also get you an instant ban and your posts will get deleted. Keep it in your sig.
----------------------
5. Memborating- The act of impersonating a moderator.
---------------------
This is the most annoying feature for moderators. YOU are not the moderator of the forum, WE are. Lets keep it that way please. We understand you are trying to help and that is fine, but do not do things such as request closure and such. We know what to do.
Do not do the following...
Originator - Example
-------------
This thread is SPAM, U wILL GET BANNED FOR MAKING ANOTHER THREAD.
REQUEST CLOSURE NOW!!!!!!!111
-------------
That is what will get you 2 warnings and after that a ban.
-----------------------
6. Pornography - Posting porn or nude content
---------------------
This is a forum, and keep in mind that children visit here. Posting any of this inapropriate material will earn you another instand ban.
---------------------
Any Questions, send a PM to FFX Fanatic
