Welcome to Four Against Nature, Guest.

If you want to know what Four Against Nature is about, The Guide to Four Against Nature is a good place to go to.

Or if you're just here to lurk around, that's fine. We hope you enjoy the discussion around the board.

New Members should probably head over to The Introduction Topic so we can learn about you!

Also, It would be a good idea to brush up on the rules!

JUSTICE!
Rule 1: Respect your fellow members

1a. You are expected to treat your fellow members with the same level of respect you want in your life. Insulting and Belittling is prohibited unless it's a joke that ALL PARTIES ARE IN ON.

1b. With regard to creative endeavors, do note that we do promote criticism, but please keep it civil. Address the issue, not the person. (Unless the person is the issue, at which point let the staff deal with it.)

1c. We don't want outside matters carried here What happens on FAN stays on FAN. Check your outside baggage at the door. Violators will be warned once and banned afterward without regard for who "started it".

1d. If the offending party has committed an illegal act, measures will be taken according to what we can do and proof presented.

*Jeff's Addendum: Discussion of certain matters tends to be heavily scrutinized, even when the discussion is not aggressive. Most of the topics that had a political theme have been removed. Post with discretion. Seriously, we're primarily about video games and nerd culture.

Rule 2: Post like a reasonable person would.

2a. Members are allowed to edit posts for a reason. Double posting is, while not terribly annoying to us, something generally unnecessary. If the topic is something like an art portfolio or your story, then it’s perfectly fine.

2b. Old topics shouldn’t be posted in unless there is a reasonable contribution to make.

2c. You are expected to stay on topic.

2d. You are also expected to post with at least a passable grasp of the English language. We are tolerant if you have a legitimate reason for difficulties but please do try your best so that we can understand you.

2e. You will not post for the sake of getting a milestone post (1000th, 2000th, 10,000, etc) and topics announcing a milestone will be deleted.

2f. Profanity and lewd jokes are allowed. Just use some common sense concerning them.

Rule 3: Concerning the Two P's: Porn and Piracy.

3a. No Pornographic or excessively violent images allowed. If in doubt, you can PM an admin with a link to the image in question for verification.

3b. If you have an art piece that has artistic nudity, then it is acceptable provided you put a warning down.

3c. This applies to stories, too. No "Lemon" scenes as the fanfic community puts it. Perverted jokes are one thing but we don't need graphic details, even if it's complete satire, we don't want to hear\read it.

3d. Do not post links to ROMs or pirated software or related materials. This could get us shut down. We will not take responsibility for it and you will be warned on the first offense and banned on the second.

Rule 4: The Staff deserves proper respect

4a. The staff makes sure the board remains in order, so they should be given extra respect to keep the boards you use from being ruined. Asskissers will be banned.

4b. Also, do note that the administrators live in different time zones and work full-time. We will address any issues as soon as we can.

Rule 5: Concerning Rule Infractions

5a. The staff maintains logs of all violations and infractions. We know when you logged on, logged off, posted and under what IP address you posted. Repeat violators will be banned without warning.

*Jeff's Addendum: We've literally never had an issue before in all our years here. Let's keep it that way!*

Rule 6: Profile Editing Restrictions (Avatars, Signatures, etc)

6a. Custom Member Titles may only be 50 Characters.

6b. Signature length is 1200 characters but don’t picspam, it slows down everyone's connection and is annoying.

6c. Maximum size for Avatars is 35 KB. That is literally as large as Zetaboards will allow for us to use.

6d. Maximum size of Avatars is 250x250 pixels. But be aware that the threads automatically auto-adjust vertically, but not horizontally. We're working out the details on this.

6e. Rule 3 still applies to Avatar and Signature content.

Rule 7:You are not to abuse the forum features.

7a. You can edit posts. Administrators can see when you edit posts and under what IP you posted and edited under. Don't think you're clever because you're not.

7b. You are not to use the BB-Code to make things painful or difficult to read. You will be warned on the first two offenses then banned on the third for being a troll without warning.

7c. You can also use the [img] tags to insert pictures into posts. Do so reasonably, taking into consideration the post sizes will stretch to accommodate them. This can make topics difficult to follow.

Rule 8: Use your best Judgment

8a. If you try to find a loopholes to a rule, you will be banned for being a pest.

8b. If you see anything that is or could be construed as objectionable or a violation of the rules, use the Report button and an admin will look into it.

Rule 9: Have Fun!

The rules seem scary at first glance, but Four Against Nature is intended as a place to relax and hang out. We want everyone to have fun in a safe, organized manner. Feel free to contribute and pioneer new ideas here. Enjoy.
