These are the Rules so listen up!
1) All new members are to introduce yourself
2)Bumping: Bringing back dead topics to the top. No matter your reasons, don't do it. If it's dead, it's dead. Posting in a thread older than 1-2 weeks and above, or any thread below page 2 is considered bumping.
3)Spamming: Irrelevant post in a topic. Basiclly, post that contributes absolutly nothing to the topic at all, one word post, or just posting with a shit load of smileys. This INCLUDES Ultra n00b or IM talk. Ultra n00b is IM talk. IM talk turns "Hi, how are you?" into "yo, howz r u" Please remember, it's a message board, not a chat room.
4)Thread Derailing: Going off-topic. Basiclly making a post that has nothing to do with the current topic. This includes making a post that makes no sence, Spamming, talking about your Kitty in a Mermaid Melody topic, etc.
5)Double Posting: Posting 2 times consecutively. Or to put it simply, posting again right after your own post. There are exactly FOUR places on the forum where this is allowed. That is:
~Fan Fictions: If you need to update your story you may double post ONLY if no one else has replied for a week or so.
~Fan Characters: When updating a character you may ONLY double post when no one else has replied for over a weeks time or the thread is a page back.
~Fan Art: If you want to add more art to an Art Thread or end a contest you may double post ONLY if no one else has posted there for a a week or so.
~Spam: No Posting rules apply to the SPAM forum.
6)Flaming: Basically, internet fighting using text. Except nobody is a winner, your all losers. Don't start one, nor should you participate in one. This includes racial, sexist, snide, criminal, discriminatory, or inappropriate remarks. If you spot flaming, please report to the moderators. Please note that the only place where Flaming, at a minimum, is allowed is the Debate forum.
A)Respect Peoples Opinions: Don't say stuff like, "OMFG! I HATE DAT KAREN!!1!1!11/// ShEEES SO0 ANN00YiNg!!1!1!11////oneone/one!!slash" ...if you understand that... I'm not running a happy clinic, I just don't want people causing arguements.
B)Report Flame Abuse: If you ever feel belittled, offended, or undermined by another member/moderator who has harrassed or hurt you in any way, including Spam and Debate forums, contact the Admin(s) about the problem and we'll deal with it.
7)Multiple Accounts: Do NOT make multiple accounts under any circumstances, unless your old account is broken or you have permission by the Admin(s) to make another. This will result in IP ban to prevent further logins. The main reason is that we wish to conserve forum space for when we expand and let people get punished for what they've done by having a proper Warn Bar in place.
8)Adult Material: No Hentai, pornography, or other adult material. You will get you IP address banned for this material. Our main concern is the younger Sonic fans out there who wish to share their love fo Sonic as well. Plus, by law, Child Pornography is an extreme criminal offence, and in our opinions, drawing cartoon characters who are under aged joining in Adult Activity should be crinimal as well. There is only ONE exception to this rule:
~Fan Art: If there is a WARNING in the Title, and there is a LINK to the image, material of this kind will be allowed. That is because no one can put laws on what you can and can't draw.
9)Stealing: No Plagerism. Stealing of other's are or writing without consent or copyright, you will be warned. We do not wish to be sued or shut down due to artists or authors who complain aboyut their work being used in a negative way.
10)Fake Identity: Please, no one is going to like you more for inventing a new life and/or creating your own groupies. This goes the same for pretending to be someone else or be related to someone else. This fits under the catagory of a horny 40-year-old man who lures children to his home and if you are caught doing this, you will be banned. Why? Well, you wouldn't want people showing off about their fake life, would you?
11)The Report Button: The report button is there for a reason. If one of the following rules is broken, don't yell at the person. Merely go to that post or thread with the rule being broken, hit "Report" and explain what rule is being broken. It's that simple.
12) Sigs : please keep a note that you are only allowed to have 6 sigs, and 3 name tags. if you don't obey, i will delete some of your sigs and leave a note in your signature too.
13) C-box : Fourm Rules are the same rules as the C-box rules so please, don't break them or you will be warned.
Thank you and have a nice day
