First thing first, this is a public forum make to facilitate each and every students, students-to-be, and our alumnus as to create a community that live within this cyberspace or cyberworld. be civil towards each others. General Forum Rules and Regulations Posting All posts must be in English, no exceptions. Flame/Flamebait Flaming is expressing anger at someone in uncouth ways. Flamebait are posts that are made with the aim of angering someone indirectly. Forum users should not be participating in either as in doing so will result in a warning. Topic Hijacking Hijacking is forcing the current thread discussion off of the original topic and usually results in spam or flame from either side. Forum users found hijacking threads will be given a warning. Trolling Trolling is submitting posts with the aim of targeting/harassing/angering a group (as opposed to flaming which applies to individual). Trolling is not tolerated and will result in a warning. Repeat Topics One topic is enough. Repeat topics will be locked and moved to the archives without mercy and the author given a warning. Users found creating repeat topics after others were locked by staff will result in a warn raise and/or temp-ban. Spam Spam is not permitted on the President University Forums except the Water Cooler Lounge Forum. Users found spamming (posting contentless material of any variety) will receive a warning. Examples include (but are in no way limited to) posts containing nothing but smilies, "+1", "QFT", "this" any other one to few word contentless combination, and/or quoting a post or posting an image and adding any of the aforementioned examples. These posts and other similar contributions have no substance and hence are considered spam. No Discussion Forums Do not reply and discuss unnecessary things on: Registration Forum, Information Center, and Forum Problem. Failed to do so will get a warning. White "Invisible" Text "Invisible text" or white colored text should not be used at any time on the forums. Users found making use of white text will receive a warning. Mild and Explicit Language / Namecalling Mild expletives (crap, d*mn, etc) are frowned upon and should be extremely limited in use. OOC attacks using mild expletives will result in a warning. The only forum with a lesser restriction on the use of mild expletives is the RP forum. Excessive use of what are deemed mild expletives in the RP forums will result in a warning. Harsh Expletives (sh*t, f*ck, *ss, b**ch, etc.) are forbidden on all parts of the forum. Use of harsh explicative, even in the RP forum, will be subject to warning from moderation up to and including forum access restriction. Namecalling is not an acceptable behavior on this forum no matter if it is IC/OOC. Doing so will result in a warn level raise. Filtered words Any attempts to evade the word filter will result in a warning. The terms we have filtered are filtered for a reason and no excuse for evasion will be accepted. Harassment Forum users should not be stalking/harassing others on the forums. Anyone found stalking students from topic to topic, etc., will be subject to a warning. Gravedigging Gravedigging is not allowed anywhere on the forums. Gravedigging is "bumping" old topics which haven't been active for quite some time (four to seven days is standard depending on the nature of the thread and how many pages back it had been pushed before bump). Your warn level will be raised if you are caught doing this. The Critics and Suggestions forum is a partial exception to this rule. Suggestions/ideas in that forum may be posted in regardless of age PROVIDING that the reviving post contains constructive, on-topic input to the original topic or discussion. Signatures Those who fail to read and abide by these rules will have their signatures "fixed" and receive a warning. You may have only one image per signature which may not exceed the maximum size of 450 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall. You may have no more than 8 lines of text and text size cannot exceed size 4. Each quote tag and image count as a line. Obscene Content and/or "Account Suicide" Anyone caught posting vulgar material (including but in no way limited to pornography, "goatse," "tubgirl," "lemonparty," photos depicting RL illegal acts such as violence towards humans or animals, child pornography, death photos, and any other obscene or offensive material in either text form or picture form) will have their account(s) permanently banned, and their ISP contacted along with any other applicable internet and RL authorities. Imitation &. Impersonation Imitation in terms of this forum is mimicking the posting, avatar, or signature styles of another user in an attempt to be satirical or generally humorous. Impersonation in terms of this forum is copying the posting, avatar, or signature styles of another user in order to present the illusion that the person is in fact that user. Imitation is fine and can be quite funny. Impersonation is disruptive and is warnable. Please pay attention to the subtle difference between these two concepts. A student may not impersonate another student by emulating the characteristics of someone else's past or present account in an attempt to harass, stalk, or flamebait. Creating a new forum account in an attempt to impersonate a standing account will result in deletion and banning without notice. Any attempt at imitation and/or impersonation of moderators and game staff is strictly prohibited and will be met with harsh repercussions. Avatars Size for avatars is limited by the forum mechanics, therefore there is no size issue for a user to worry about. Avatars must be in good taste, and any avatar containing a picture that is too violent, disgusting, sexually explicit, insulting to another student or staff member, etc. will be removed. Avatars that are potentially seizure inducing will not be permitted. Students may not "borrow" the avatars of any moderator past or present without permission.
