Maintain civilized discussion: This means don't be rude, no trolling, and don't get into flame wars. If another user is being rude, let the moderators deal with it. If you get into a flame war with them, the thread will be locked and everyone involved will be given warnings. Flame wars will be dealt with severely.
Stay on the topic of the thread: It breaks continuity and new users who join the thread will be confused. Users who post of topic will receive warning points and the threads will be locked. Replies need to be relevant to the first post or the last post. All posts must be related to the first post in some way.
Do not make multiple posts in a row: You will receive a severe warning for it. (25% warning) Bans start at 30% of the max warning level.
Posts must contain at least one complete sentence and must not contain abbriviations, leetspeak, or consist only of images or other media.
Making posts in order to "bump" threads is forbidden. If you have a question or are seeking advice, you can ask a moderator to bump the thread for you.
Check post dates before replying to old threads. If you have a statement or question that's relevant to the thread, you can post it, but don't revive old threads if you don't have anything important to say.
All users except moderators must use the default text color. Custom text colors are reserved for moderator use. Any user who uses a custom text color will receive a warning. Using moderator designated text colors will be considered impersonation of a moderator.
This should go without saying, but certain BB code is intended for moderators to post notices such as warnings. Any use of this code outside of official moderator use will be treated as impersonating a moderator and serious warnings will be given out.
