Hello everybody. Much like every other place fun to be. There are some rules that we have so we can make this site as fun and entertaining as we can.
- Be respectful to other members. If there seems to be some sort of conflict with yourself and another member, don't start anything. Drop it. Or let a staff member handle it.
- Do not make new members feel unwelcome. This forum was started so that new and old fans can come together and communicate with each other in a friendly manner. Any demeaning comments towards new joiners will not be tolerated.
- Listen to staff members. This of course, applies to serious situations. Staff members do not have the authority to ask for your password, personal information, or to tell you to do things that would be a violation of other site rules.
- No cursing is allowed. This site is available for people of all ages- even kids. Censor evasion is strictly prohibited.
- No inappropriate content or discussions. Again, there may be younger members in the site. Depending on the severity of the conversation, there may or may not be any warnings before the ban.
- No spamming anywhere on the site. Spamming includes, but is not limited to, double-posts, any posts that are not relevant to the thread topic, single word posts, or posts that contain an excessive amount of capitalized letters, numbers, or other random characters.
- No giant signatures or images. If your signature, or even avatar, stretches the forum even a little, it will be considered too large and a mod will remove it. The same goes for images. If you want to post an image that will stretch the board, please put it in spoiler tags.
- No impersonating other members. This will not be tolerated in the least. The impersonation of any other members without said members consent is strictly forbidden.
- NO IMPERSONATING ADMINS OR MODERATORS. Anyone found to be impersonating a mod/admin or pretending to be a mod/admin will be banned.
- One account per member. There is no reason for anyone to have more than one account here. Any extra accounts that are seen will be promptly deleted.
- No art theft. This includes, but is not limited to claiming an image as your own that you didn't make, editing someone else's image without permission, using a palette you did not make without permission. As an art forum, there will be 0 tolerance for art theft of any sort. This rules extends into writing and other creative areas.
- Use proper spelling and grammar. It can get quite frustrating translating chat speak everywhere on the internet. Let's make this one less illiterate website/forum, okay?
- Post threads in the correct board. If you are unsure of where to post a topic in the forum, ask another member. If you still aren't sure, then make your most reasonable guess. It can be frustrating moving topics around because people are too lazy to post in the right place.
- Don't revive old topics unless you have a good reason to. If the topic has been dead for a while just make a new one.
- Don't go off-topic! Stay on topic. Any off topic comments may lead to a locked topic.
- The rules are subject to change or revision at any time. Any notable changes to the rules are to be posted in the site news.
