The Forum Rules

by **Sparklyindigopink** Sat Aug 16, 2008 9:23 am

Warning: It is recommended to read the rules before or after registering. We will not know if you have or have not and you will not get a consequence for not reading rules, but it is advised if you do not want to be prosecuted.

Note: We allow advertising forums, but please do not annoy members by posting it more than twice.

1. No direct swearing. Please put a line through a swear word (e.g:~~swearword~~) or put *censored* or replace the letters with '*'s.

2. No arguing.
If you argue with a Moderator or an Admin, it is considered being rude and if you consistently argue you may be given a small warning. Please argue with other members through PMs; we do not want to read your arguments.

3. No begging.
Please do not beg to be made into a Moderator, Admin or Golden Member. i.e. Please ask, not beg.

4. Respect Others.
Please do not be rude or mean.
Some people do not realize they are hurting people's feelings.
If someone continues to be mean, please tell me or a Global Moderator.
Please also show us the posts in which the person was being mean to you
in, and if necessary, why they have hurt you.

5. Be yourself.
Do not pretend to be other people.
You may use a made-up username, but do not say you are another member if you are not, even more importantly please do not pretend to be a Moderator or an Admin. We do not accept posers. Do not pretend to be a famous person if you are not.

6. No scamming, spamming, etc.
Do not ask for another member's password for anything unless
you are a Moderator or you give a sufficient reason to do so.
Do not cheat members out of items, or millsbucks.
Messages or posts that contain spam are not allowed.

7. Limit of smilies-3 lines.
If you do not follow that, you may not get a consequence but it may annoy other members. Although we have said that the limit is three lines, please try not to use more than two.

8. Post your question in the appropriate place.
Questions put in the incorrect areas will be moved.
Members who continue putting questions in inappropriate areas on purpose may be given a warning if a moderator chooses to think it is neccesary.

9. Do not lie.
Please do not lie to an Admin or Global Moderator unless you are not serious, and the Admin or Global Moderator knows you are just kidding.

10. Do not double-post.
Please do not post the same question twice!
If you do this, one of them will be moved or removed.

11. Multiple Accounts
While having multiple forum accounts is not against the rules,
know that it would be found as suspicious and put you under scrutiny.
That being said, creating multiple accounts is strongly discouraged!

12. Follow these rules!
Breaking these rules may have consequences!
If you continue breaking rules after 5 warnings, you will be banned for 24 hours or more.

We try not to be too strict. If a member breaks the rules, and I do not think it was on purpose or I think it is not necessary to punish them, I will not.
