Yeah, these are more "General" rules that all forums have.
If you don't want to go through all of them (you lazy sod) then just keep this in mind: I'm pretty lax on rules, actually. While the list that folows this statement seems long, I actually like to treat it more like pointers and advice rather than strict rules, no matter how I sound like in the list.
The one serious rule is don't be an idiot. Seriously, just don't act like you're a /b/tard with a superiority complex and you'll be fine.
1. Don't piss people off in general.
2. I honestly don't give a damn about racism, but don't take it too far.
3. Rule removed.
4. Don't take making fun of people too far.
5. You can impersonate TD for shits and giggles, but anyone actually TRYING to be TD/TD's slave without valid proof will be blocked or even banned until put straight. (I'm "disabling" anyone to be able to call themselves TD, anyway)
6. General knowledge of writing is required.
7. No double posting.
8. No threats, period.
9. If you are banned, and then ban dodge (By creating a new account, etc.) you will be banned as soon as we find out. You will not pass go, you will not collect $200.
10. No pornography, please. If you put something up in where you're not sure if it's allowed or not, mark it with a "NSFW" (Not Safe For Work) tag in the Thread title. NSFW would usually count as said picture containing very strong adult themes or any form of genitalia.
11. Don't ask to be a mod. It will only damage your chances.
12. Spam goes in the Spam board! Do not post topics in the Spam board just because you have no idea where else to put them. Spam is counted as:
-Nonsensical randomness
-Pointless topics that degrade to nothing.
13. There are two types of people I hate in this world; people who are intolerant of others, and the Dutch. This basically means I will take little to know personal attacks on a person's opinion or view. I am very serious when people attack someone just because they think differently. While I encourage discussion over different opinions, saying things like 'You fucking suck for liking <object>' is inexcusable. Insulting other people for believing in things like Tails Doll is treated the same. People can believe, it's not your place for telling them how stupid they are for believing so.
14. For stories and artwork, only constructive criticism and comments are permitted. No saying a person sucks without telling them why and possibly how they can improve.
15. Please put thought into your post, this is not a chat box, so don't treat it that way with two word posts that consist of nothing but blind agreement. It not only contributes nothing to the conversation, but it's just boring to read.
16. No using posts as a thing to boast for. This means don't do things such as +1 posts just to boost your post count. If we see you doing this and suspect your cause, your posts will be removed and post count depleted.
17. The rule that voids all rules. You can break any of these rules as long as it's in good taste. Basically meaning if the way you break them is funny, it's fine. As long as you don't do it excessively, and well, if it's funny.
18. No backseat modding, it's just annoying as hell. The Mods know their jobs, you don't need to remind people.
19. Absolutely NO advertising for your forum/group/community/whatever outside the Advertising board (Or in special cases such as links in your sig, they may be in the Spam forum). It is even stricter that no advertising in other people's advertising threads. Don't derail other people's adverts with your own!
20. For the love of christ learn to spell. Mild mistakes hither and thither are fine but please, you don't know how annoying it is to read ppl talkn like thiz. If you don't speak English well, then open up a translator and try your best.
21. Don't abuse leaving. This sounds rediculous, but we've had several cases where a member said they would "LEEV FOREVAH!" and return the next day. Do this, and you're banned for as long as we see fit to actually leave. If you want to avoid this, try to at least estimate when you'll be back and if you come back earlier please have a good excuse why.
