PostSubject: Forum Rules   Mon Oct 18, 2010 8:36 pm

The rules below are to ensure that the forums are kept clean and that all nonsense is avoided. We want the forums to be an enjoyable place for everyday discussions and will not tolerate anyone who looks to disrupt that. Please take the time to read through them so you will have a full understanding of what is expected of you.


FORUM RULES




* Avatars/Sigs

Avatars - images cannot be larger than 150px in width x 150px in height. No nudity, drug or alcohol content, racism or anything else that may be offensive. Keep it league or MMA related please.

Sigs - images cannot be larger than 700px in width x 200px in height. No more than 1 animated GIF, no nudity, drug or alcohol content, racism or anything else that may be offensive. Again, keep it league or MMA related please. If you're only putting text in your signature then please do not put up a wall of text.



* Use of Images

Images - When using images in your posts please ensure that the image is hosted by a Imaging Hosting Service (ie: photobucket, Imageshack, etc) or with your own resources. Images images cannot be larger than 700px in width x 1000px in height



* Search before post

New threads are always being created bumping other topics off the front page so before posting a new topic, please take a look around and see if it's already being discussed. You could also use the search button in the navbar.



* No repeat threads

If a thread gets deleted or locked do not make another one. Also, do not start a thread asking why it was deleted or locked. Ask the mod who locked it in a pm or send me a pm.



* No double posting

If you forgot to say something use the edit button. If you created a thread and was the last one to post in it do not post again to get it bump to the front page especially with text such as "bump", "ttt" (to the top), etc. All double posts WILL be deleted on sight.



* No spamming or advertising

An example of spamming is posting the same content in the same or multiple threads. Also, starting threads to advertise products, services, other sites, etc. will get the thread deleted and potentionally you banned as well.



* Do not post porn

Pornography is banned from the forums in all its forms. This includes linking to sites with such content and posting images with nudity in them.



* Forum Accounts

You are only permitted to use one account to access the forums. Any subsequent accounts that you make will be banned. Do not make another account to post on when your original account has been suspended. Trying to get around a suspension in this way will get the new account permanently banned from the site and your own account banned as well. You also are not permitted to share access to your account with a banned/suspended member.



ETIQUETTE




* No disrespecting the staff

You are not required to kiss their ass but you are required to respect their wishes. If they warn you about something please take the warning and move on. Arguing will get you nowhere. If you ever feel that a member of the staff is out of line please do not curse or harass them. Send me a pm and I'll handle it.



* Help the new people

Please take it easy on people who are new to the site. If they post something that has already been posted politely let them know and post a link to the topic. We dont need comments like "use the search idiot" or "this has already been posted dumbass", etc. Please be friendly to anyone who is new and help them out if you can. Even if you think a question is something a 3rd grader can answer be friendly and help them out.



* No flaming or trolling

This means no useless arguments or personal attacks (name calling, racial slurs, etc.) towards other members. If you cant disagree without namecalling or disrespecting do not post. You have a right to express your opinions but please dont do it in a way that offends or insults other members. Trash talk in reference to the game is allowed but dont get carried away. Also, please dont go into a thread and say how useless or pointless it is, no one cares, etc. If its a pointless thread then dont post in it. Let it die.



* Don't feed the trolls!

There are always a few ppl who seek attention with negative threads/posts. If you see one of these threads, please ignore it. If you respond the thread will remain on the front page and thats what the troll wants. If someone trolls your thread with a negative post, please ignore it. It will only take your thread off topic and eventually get it locked which again is what the troll wants. If somone is being disruptive, feel free to report it to a moderator or myself.



* No Thread Hijacking

Do not go into a thread and start a new conversation. If you are not posting about the topic at hand do not post at all. Another example of hijacking is going in a thread and posting something such as "this thread is now about monkeys" and post a picture of a monkey. If this is done and you follow up with a picture you will recieve the same punishment as the hijacker.



If you have any questions post them in the Help Desk.
