The big list o' rules.
Part I: Form and format
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1. Please don't break tables. Posting huge images and posting long blocks of large letters without returns will break the tables. I'll edit the offending post the first time, but if it continues I will make house visits. This applies to Spam too.
2. Don't use large text when it's not needed. Spam is okay, but follow rule 1.
3. Same with colored text. Use it only when appropriate.
4. Excessive smilies are not allowed. Nor are excessive uses of glowing/moving/shadowed text. I will consider 5 smilies in a row to be the maximum, and every successive 3 smilies after that will get you a day's ban. As for YouTube/Glowing Text/Moving Text, it's at the mod's discretion.
5. Signatures and avatars. There's no hard and fast rule for this, but keep your signature sizes within reason. Same with avatars too. If people begin abusing this, I will make up specific rules for this.
PART II: Around the forum
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1. Be nice. Don't troll people or make offensive comments toward someone else.
2. If trolling occurs, I expect each and every member to be mature enough to report it to a mod rather than firing back. If two parties trade blows and it gets out of hand, then I will tempban both offending parties.
3. Profanity is allowed, but in moderation. And it is not to be used against another person.
4. Bumping old topics: If you have a legitimate question OR you have something to say that is useful to the topic, the "don't post in a topic if it's really old" rule doesn't apply. If you post in a topic just to say "me too," that will be taken as an act of necromancy and a warning will be given.
5. What happens in a board stays in that board. Spam is not to overflow into the Nexus War forums. Spam stays in Spam. This applies to every board on the forum.
