Rule 1

No inappropriate material or content

This is a family friendly forum; we could potentially have members of young ages. Do not post links to sites that have content rated more "mature" than PG (Some PG content, swearing and nudity in particular, is prohibited from the boards.). Any material that is pornographic, sexually explicit, visually offensive, derogatory, or discriminates on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, color, creed, religion, lifestyle, or, any other material (includes nudity and offensive pictures) that may be deemed as objectionable in a public community environment, is prohibited and breaching this is a bannable offense. Use of foul language, including swear words, real-world racial slurs, alternate spellings, and other language that is not consistent with the fantasy environment will be allowed but any complaints will be served, and the poster of the language will be banned. Just because the boards are PG-13, it does not allow you to violate these rules in any way. Offensively named accounts which may be deleted/renamed at any time without warning.

Rule 2

No illegal content

This includes linking to any sites that may violate the rules. If you have any doubts, whatsoever, about the appropriateness of the content you want to post, don't post it. This includes but is not limited to:
# Adult-oriented content
# Content that breaks any laws
# Copyright infringement (many MP3s, ROMs, etc.), warez, CD keys, cracks, passwords, serial numbers, etc.
# Gambling and drugs
# Hacking materials and information
# Terrorism (promotion/carrying it through)
# Trojans, viruses, worms, and other such harmful things
The ingnoring of this rule is an easily bannable offense.

Rule 3

You must not harass or abuse others

An actions which would be considered abuse includes but is not limited to:

Impersonating a Moderator/Admin - Falsely representing yourself to another member as a staff member is prohibted. - Includes using anything restricted to moderators, implying that you can edit someone's posts, ban someone, etc.

Rule 4

No flaming (Inflammatory speech)

Any speech or inference, direct or indirect, that constitutes a personal attack against another individual or group is prohibited. Do not insult other users for their ideas/opinions no matter how ridiculous they may be. Snide remarks will not be tolerated. This also includes the flaming of new members, rather that flame, you need to tell them what to do differently or not type anything. Flaming, depending specifically on the message(s) posted, is a bannable offense.

Rule 5

No spamming (Including advertising, and multi-posting)

Unsolicited promotion of other web sites, or products, is spam, and will be removed on sight without warning. Please keep our forums free of unsolicited advertisement or product promotion. Posting referral/recruitment/trick links is strictly prohibited. Do not create threads on a topic that is already being discussed. Make sure to read all forum and sub-forum descriptions and their rules before posting new threads to ensure that you follow the rules and post in the correct place.

Rule 6

Stay on topic

As such the posting of material should remain at all times within a forum that is topically appropriate, if you are unsure, PM a moderator. Also, if you make a mistake, moderators can usually relocate threads for you (PM a moderator requesting a move). Please keep replies and posts topical to the forum on which they are posted or they will be removed. Remember to read each the description of each place, the guides, and any pinned (stickied) topics before posting. Do a search if you want to ask a question or start a new thread to make sure that it hasn't been posted before.

Don't change existing thread's topic

Relating to topicality, you should not be changing the topic of an existing thread when you reply. This just serves to confuse people who have been following a thread, and often leads to spam and extra threads. If you have a new topic, you should be creating a new thread on that topic and not "hijacking" an existing thread.

Rule 7

No trolling

In other words, don't post pointless replies to every thread that someone writes; also considered spam. If you don't have any serious things to contribute to the conversation, stay out of it. Please try to keep your replies relevant to the topic you are replying to. Do not post anything intended to provoke someone. Be nice, and make the forums better for everyone.

Rule 9

No begging

Do not ask for someone else's account information. This includes via the forum, PM, and chat. Accounts created for begging will be banned. Do not ask to become a admin, mod, etc. or special treatment. Asking is the best way to not become one. This includes heavily hinting at it and joking about it.
