Forum Rules and Regulations
Last update: April 26, 2008 (updated rules in red)
Some general rules to make the forum pleasant to everyone.
Not allowed:
- spam; if you want to lure people to your own website, put it in your signature rather than spamming it all over the place
- links or posts concerning pornography and related topics
- links to warez
- links to downloadable official audio/video, as this is illegal in many countries
- excessive pic spam; if you have more than three larger-sized pictures to share with the rest of the board, it is advised you only post links; this also applies to wallpaper-sized pics to avoid unnecessary page-stretching
- excessive profanity; of course, we can all get angry from time to time, but try and keep it down
- flaming other members; be nice to each other, we're all here for the same reason
- one-word/emoticon-only posts; content is key, especially in the discussion of e.g. music; explain your opinions as elaborate as possible to make room for a discussion
Additional Rules:
- keep in mind that this is a public forum; if you post personal information (like shoesize or phantom toes), anyone can access it
- please try and keep your English look like actual English; we're not all native speakers, so text/SMS-format English is not advisable
- posts/topics using ALL CAPS is not advisable
- don't overuse the emoticons; remember quality > quantity
- avatars may not be larger than 100x100 pixels; signatures may not be larger than 500x150/200 pixels; more on avatars and signatures can be found in the Avatars & Signatures Guide
- the search function is there for a reason, so do use it before deciding on creating a new topic
- the forum team members have the right to close/delete topics as they see fit
The warning system is currently disabled for practical reasons. In case of violation, you will be contacted by one of the administrators via PM. Severe violation of rules will result in the banning of your account/IP.
Complaints, suggestions and the like go into the Suggestions forum. If you have any questions regarding the forum, then go to the Help & Support forum.
Please try and live by these rules when you're posting here. This way we can keep the forum as clean and smooth as possible for everyone.
