Title: Rules Post by: Vent the North on January 12, 2010, 09:41:04 am Be nice For starters, be nice to each other. With a lot of people together in/on aplace, naturally not everyone will agree with you on something. Everyone hasdifferent opinions on various issues, let's all be respectful towards eachother and our opinions. No Flaming/Trolling Flamewars contribute absolutely nothing to the forums. Don't get aggravated. Ifa mod or Admin encounters a (potential) flamewar, the participants, but in anycase the starter, will be warned, if not banned for a time span themoderator/admin in question deems fit. There is no gain in hammering on about a particular subject. If a threaddegrades to a "yes/no" fight, be the smarter one and leave it be. Using our forums to organise forum raids is also a form of flaming/trolling.This will not be tolerated and is punishable by a ban. Don't go"Off-Topic" Try and keep the discussion on-topic as much as possible. We are the last tosay that "off-topic is evil!" but that does not mean we condone totaloff-topicness. If a thread gets out of hand, leave it be, and contact amoderator/admin. Have some respect for another person's topic. If the topic means nothing toyou, then stay out, but don't make "funny" remarks. If your remarksare enough of an annoyance/offensive to other members, appropriate action maybe taken by moderators and administrators, in accordance with these rules.

MP3 and DiVX are file formats/codes and those are notillegal, their content however, can be illegal. If anything, try and use logicwhen posting links to such downloads. BitTorrent downloads to Anime and Mangas are allowed. Pornographic Material Posting of images depicting genitalia andbare breasts is prohibited. Linking to websites with such content is also notallowed. Posting such material are grounds for a temporary to permanent ban,subject to the severity of the offence and discretion of the moderators. Racism, Cultural Intolerance, Gender and Sexual Orientation Discrimination Racism, maliciously inappropriate remarks pertaining to cultures, gender,sexual orientation or other degrading remarks are things you do only once.Posting of such slander most likely will get you a ban, the length will be upto the Banning Moderator and can be between a week to Permanent. Personal Affairs Personal affairs (Example: Problems with other members) are NOT to be foughtout via the forums. If you have some kind of problem with someone, use aninstant messenger program like MSN, ICQ or AIM, you can always e-mail eachother, or use the PM function.
