RULES

1. No Flamming or Spamming
~Spamming is almost never permitted on the forums. Spam includes: posts that do not contribute to a discussion, are off-topic, or do not have any purpose; posting for the sole purpose of increasing post count, often referred to as "postwhoring"; threads that do not have much point, such as word games. Spam, when seen, will most often be deleted, but excessive spamming may be dealt with more severely.

Flaming is insulting other members in a personal manner. Heated arguments are allowed most of the time, but outright bashing and unprovoked attacks will not go without punishment. We're a community, so everyone needs to be civil to each other.

2. No use of foul language.
~Because the forums are open to people of all ages, bad language should be kept to a minimum. Effort should also be put into your grammar and spelling, as it makes your posts a lot easier to read. Typing in "l337" or any other such "Internet languages" is not allowed, as it is hard to read, and can get very annoying, very fast. Even running a spell check or going over a message before posting it can go a long way in making your posts better. Posts that are judged to have been made with little consideration for the English language will be deleted.

3. No Suggestive images, etc.
~Because the forums are open to all ages, please do not post porn or anything like that. Admins have restricted the use of personal photos to reduce this risk. On behalf of all the staff, we appreciate your help.

4. No 2nd accounts.
~Here at the Domain, we allow one account per email address. If multiple people in your family want to join, they must do so with another email or just use your current one. Trust me, you couldn't make another account if you tried.

5. There are 15 topics per page, and 25 posts per topic page. In order to be a "hot topic", your topic must have at least 15 replies. You can have up to 20 emoticions and 30 images in a post.

6. Polls are open for addition to your topic for 24 hours. In other words, you have a day to add a post to your topic. You can have up to 20 choices for your poll.

7. Admins will validate all new members. Trust me, you won't have to wait very long. An admin will email you welcoming you to the site and affirming your membership. You are not fully a member until we email you.

8. A signature can be up to 1500 characters in length. If the need arises, I'll increase that number. In order to change your member title, you must have 50 or more post. A custom title or one of ours are available. Here are the ranks:
