READ!! Forum Rules
Lately i have told the staff to start cracking down on posts breaking the forum rules. I thought i would let u guys know what your posts should be following. Up until lately we haven't really cared much for the amount of spaming or flaming on these boards but this will soon hopefully stop.
* Flamming - Directing abuse at a user is strictly against the rules. If you see a post like this report it. If you create a post like this it will be deleted and you will be given a warning (mod will PM you)
* Spamming - Making an offtopic post or just a post with next to no reason is against the rules. This will result in a removal of post and a warning. Spamming includes: Talking about something than the topic of thread, creating a pointless thread (post these in SPAM!!!! forum), one-on-one discussion with another user that should have been a PM or MSN chat.
* Racism - This is a very strong one on these forums, any racist comment, as a joke or otherwise will result in two (2) warning and deletion of post/thread. We take racism very seriously. Racism can be against a country(depending on how strong it is we might not care), religion or generall skin colour.
* Pornographic Images - Barely anyone on these forums is 18, so it is illegal. People view this site from school so they will be breaking rules. And my hosting provider does not allow adult material. Posting 'porn' will result in a 1 day ban with no warning.
* Warez or illegal software - Posting links to illegal software/games/keygens and other things that are 'stolen' is not allowed. Will result in a 1 day ban aswell.
* Swearing - Well we all do it, but it needs to be toned down. A post containing "f*** off u f***ing w***** go suck ur dads **** and eat s***" will recieve 2 warnings, one because of the strong use of swearwords and also because of abuse. If the above post was not offensive, but just a bunch of swearwords it would still get 1 warning. We have very young people visiting these forums, and some people do not like the amount of swear words used on these forums. We dont have a swearfilter because i dont mind swearing to a certain level.
The mods on these forums will PM me aswell as the user whenever they break one of these rules. When a user has a certain amount of warnings they will recieve a one (1) day ban. If the carry on breaking the rules they will recieve a 2 day ban. If after that they still go against the forum rules they will recieve a 1 month ban, then a permanent ban, and then if they re-register they will have their IP banned.
I hope I have made things clear here.
