Do not troll. Trolling is the act of making a topic or post (this also applies to pics) that is purposely set to annoy other users. Lighthearted stuff is ok, as long as you don't take it too far. You have leeway to say what's on your mind, as long as it doesn't harm any of the rules.


Do not Flame. Flaming is the act of insult. If you're only messing around, that is ok. But again, clear insult of another user/Mod/Admin is not ok. You will be acted upon, depending on how bad and which offense. That will be up to the discretion of the authority of this board.


Advertising direct download sites are illegal. For instance, if I was to give you the exact link to download Breath of Fire 3 ROM on the computer, that would be illegal and breaking the rules. However, if I gave you the homepage/index of the site and you find it on your own, that is , by all means, fine. The forum could be shut down if such things were being seen.

Also, things that go along with this is porn. Free sites aren't allowed to have porn up so all you males, hide your damn impulses and don't post porn. Sorry this has to be up but you know the deal with free forums. ;)


Topics must be put in the correct area. Depending on the situation, your topic may be moved or deleted. If you continue out of spite or whatever, it may be modded or be seen as trolling which will also get you modded.


Cursing is allowed under a condition.


Allowed: Man, Fuck this. Shit, I lost something. Etc.
Not allowed: Fuck you. You piece of shit. Etc.


Know the line between allowed and not allowed. The not allowed is flaming. See the flaming section for that.


Pertaining to the Graphics section: DO NOT RIP IMAGES! If you take someone else's image without their permission you will receive an immediate ban!



You must receive permission to post a user's actual name. If someone wants their name unrevealed, we have to respect that. Here is the form to sign that discloses that you do/don't want your real name revealed.

Failure to follow these rules will be punished with an immediate ban. Neither me or the mods have permission to break them either so we're being fair here.



Spamming is considered trolling.



Respecting user's opinions are a big part of this forum. If you wish for your opinion to be treated with respect, do the very same. If you can't do such a thing as respect an opinion, anyone has full grounds to disrespect yours. As a general example....


Roy Mustang: "I love Sora" (I know he doesn't like Sora, but I'm making an example here)
Zero: You suck because you like Sora. Sora is gay, he needs to die. Anyone who thinks that is gay!


In that scenario, I did not respect my good friend's opinion. Even if I'm the admin, since I failed to obey the rules, Roy Mustang or anyone else has the right to disrespect that opinion. I'm making this a big issue because this is a part of what keeps a forum together. Respect for one another.


No harassment of any kind. This covers clear Racism, sexual harassment, discrimination by gender, etc. Lighthearted jokes are ok yet again, but don't take it too far. For instance if you were to post this (http://www.motivationalbuck.com/pix/Low_08ec2151c4044e4.jpg?current=6/20/2009%203:07:52%20PM) to show everyone, that would be ok. If you were to use that pic to convey a message rudely, you may get acted apon.


Moderators reserve the right to edit member's posts/other moderator's posts/re edit an admin post if it was falsely edited by another mod if necessary. Admin reserves the right to edit any post if necessary. Necessary actions could be when a user accidentally posts some information that should be hidden, illegal things (Post may be deleted or edited), things that may need to go into the right topic and re-explained, etc.

Editing posts without merit is mod abuse and may be subject to punishment.


Rules are subject to change
