1. Absolutely NO Flaming (saying things that are deliberately hurtful to others, Including but not limited to profanity and racial slurs)
2. No spamming by either posting multiple times in a row,
or by filling the forum with a two-way chat, as this should take place in the chatbox (Updated 6/7/07)
3. Always stay on topic on a forum - If you want to talk about something else, create a new post
4.
All posts must have a purpose! You can not post a completely random statement in order to raise your post count. All posts should affect the discussion in some wat. (Added 6/11/07)5. If there is already a topic about something, do not make a new post about that same topic
6. Using CAPS LOCK is considered "shouting" and is highly discouraged, because it is annoying and isn't proper onling etiquitte
Failure to comply with these rules could lead to being banned from the forum, depending on the severity and frequency of the rules being broken
