BOARD RULES

Every offence against these rules and the rules of individual sub-forums may lead to a warning. The admins of the forum have the right to ban accounts on the forum and in extreme cases even in game and on IRC. The interpretation of all the rules is up to the board team.

1) Accounts, Warnings and Bans

1.1) Every User may register and use one account. Multiple registrations and usage of several accounts may lead to a banning of all accounts. However exemptions may be given by the Board Admins.

1.2) The circumvention of a ban by registering a second account is not allowed.

1.3) Bans can be of any length deemed appropriate by the board staff.

2.2) Posting Vendetta1923 co-ordinates is forbidden on the whole forum.

2.3) Posting contents which are not relevant to the topic/respective forum (Spam/Off topic) are undesired and may lead to warnings. An exception to this is the Spamboard.
2.3.1) This includes posts which point out breaches of the rules (Back-seat modding). This is up to the board team.

2.5.1) Real life threats against users and staff will not be tolerated, either publicly or via private messages. Serious threats will result in a straight permanent ban from the forum.

2.11) Accusations of cheating are not allowed on the board. If you want to ask a question about a specific case all identifiable information must be removed.

2.12) Impersonation of a Staff member (name, avatar, signature) may lead to a warning or in extreme cases to a ban.

2.13) Post hunting (posting just to get a higher post count) will result in a warning.

• Messages or topic titles that force browsers to scroll horizontally.
  
• Large blank or content-free messages.
  
• "Bumping" multiple older topics (posting in them well after the last post).
  
• Posting multiple identical or near-identical messages or topics, including "fad" posts or topics.
  
• Intentionally hard-to-read topic titles or posts (i.e. ALL CAPS, AlTeRnAtE cApS, no spaces, no or excessive punctuation).
  
• Posting hard-to-read or nonsensical messages in a single or multiple topics.
  
• Post counting (i.e. "First", "100th Post") except on the spamboard.

3) Notes

The following themes can be discussed with the Board Administration:

• Signature Bans
  
• Board unban request (via PM, IRC or email)
  
• User title or name changes
  
• Complaints about board staff

If you feel warned unfairly, first PM the Mod who gave the warning. Then you may get in contact the SMod. In extreme cases you have the right to talk to a Board Admin. The Board Admins word is final.

The board team holds the right to censor any thread or post.

13 or more warnings on a case by case basis.

The Staff reserves the right to change rules when they deem it necessary without prior notice.
