They are all pretty standard and straightforward but don't hesitate to contact an admin/mod if you have any questions regarding them. Complaints/Feedback If you have an immediate complaint PMing an Admin or Mod would be you best option. Administrators: BT, Estelle and Craver199103. Global Moderators: Hariberu and Ginta-2k9. Section Moderators:Savage If your complaint/feedback isn't emergent please make it here where it may be helpful for others to view as well. Reporting Threads/Posts You can report threads or posts by clicking on "report" at the bottom right corner of each posts. Please use this option seriously, this is not for member fights or disagreements only but to report spam/bannable material that the mods might have missed. English Only Please This is an English language based forum and all posts should adhere to this. Unlike you, our admins/mods may not be multilingual and they can't moderate what they can't understand. However annoying, this does not include Wapanese, Signatures and other Images Please limit your entire signature (this includes banners as well) to roughly 450x250. This is to keep signatures from taking up the entire page and makes for faster page loading for people with low bandwidth. For added extras please use spoiler tags. As for images, use spoiler tags if posting multiple images or ones of larger size. No offensive or Pornographic material allowed. Admins/Mods reserve the right to edit signatures/images without warning that do not comply with these rules. Offensive or Pornographic Materials Please keep all content PG-13. It will get deleted and repeated offenses can result in a warning/ban. Illegal Materials No one wants your drugs, we have our own. Its a nice thought but please no posting about it k? Private/Personal Information We like you and want to get to know you and we'll have threads for that. (Post your picture, Describe yourself, etc). But please, this doesn't mean you can go emo on us. TMI info such as that is not allowed, save it for the private conversations between members. This also means no "a/s/l" talk, this isn't a dating site and we don't want any pedos. Spamming/Closing Threads Please try not to spam on the main board. There is a spam forum where you can spam to your little heart's content. Spamming includes "double posting" which isn't allowed in any other part of the board save for the actual spam section. For those that don't know, "double posting" is making two consecutive posts in a row. Sometimes this cannot be helped like when a submitted post shows up twice, no biggie, just delete one of them. If you would like to add more after you posted please use the "edit" button. That said if an admin/mod feels a thread has gotten too off topic or has too many posts (this means hundreds) they can delete/trash/close it as they see fit. The Search Function Know it. Use it. Love it. Multiple threads on the same subject are always for the loss. Flamming and Online Bullying "I have a dream..." No but seriously people get along. No hateful remarks or bullying of any kind is allowed. Don't make me get out the ban hammer. Banning No one should need to be banned. This is forum is meant to be fun so it would be sad if someone crossed the line enough to warrant one. That being said it does happen and it will be dealt with on a case by case bases. Banning can be as short as a day or as long as forever. waves ban hammer Thanks for taking the time read to this Frequently Asked Questions Q:I'm a n00b, how do I introduce myself?
