1. No Bashing
Bashing is when you insult another member or artist/actor/icon with strong words. It is not allowed. Such terms include but are not limited to swear words. If you have a negative opinion about someone then keep it off the boards. Negative terms we do accept:
stupid, brainless, dazed, deficient, dense, dim, dodo, doltish, dopy, dotterel, dull, dumb, dummy, foolish, futile, gullible, half-baked, half-witted, idiotic, ill-advised, imbecilic, inane, indiscreet, insensate, irrelevant, irresponsible, laughable, loser, ludicrous, meaningless, mindless, moronic (moron), naive, nimrod, nonsensical, obtuse, poop, pooh, pointless, puerile, rash, senseless, short-sighted, simple, simple-minded, slow, sluggish, stolid, stupefied, thick, thickheaded, trivial, unintelligent, unthinking, witless.
Any other term not on the list could get you banned (unless the admins feel the term is light enough to be allowed).
Allowing you words to insult other members with does NOT give you the green light to go and insult members. "Don't be stupid" as part of a reply is okay. Excessive insults being thrown without provocation will warrant a banning at the admins' discretion. Simply not liking someone is NOT a reason to insult another member. Rude behavior, spamming, and other such annoying acts can count as reason enough to use an above term.
Bashing of religions, races, and sexuality of a person is prohibited. If you have a question about either of these 3 topics then ask it, BUT DO NOT act superior because you are of a different religion or race or have a different sexual preference. These 3 topics MUST be respected. Failure to do so will cause you to be banned. The allowed insults above ARE NOT allowed against someone because of religion, race, or sexual preference.
Censoring your own swears with stars (eg. f*ck you) still counts as bashing. Try and not use any bad words at each other
Placing the word "f**king" in front of any of the allowed words constitutes as bashing. Please do not do so.
Telling members to kill themselves or they should die is still prohibited.
exceptions: if both sides clearly know that what is said is a joke and not meant for malevolent reason and neither side is offended then using any of these words is allowed (eg: i love you pregnant dog!).
2. No Spamming
Do not post nonsense posts that have nothing to do with the thread just to get your post count up. Do not post just to get your post count up. Post only relevant material or at least material on topic to the discussion going on. Posts of 1 or 2 words will be counted as spamming if done too much.
Serious Spammers from the get-go will be permanently banned on the spot so don't dare do it. The boards are meant to be a place where you communicate your thoughts with others. Posting only to raise your post count prevents that. We are NOT a media forum... the media is just an added bonus. If you are here just for the media then LEAVE!
3. No Hacking
Try hacking anyone else's username and you will be banned on the spot. We can and will find you if you attempt to steal usernames. Attempting to log onto another users name will result in immediate banning. Please PM me if you receive an email telling you that someone has tried signing on to your time. This is a serious offence and if you attempt doing it, you will not be allowed to participate at these boards.
4. No Nudity
There is no nudity allowed at the boards. We want to keep the boards clean. Please do not post pictures of anyone's privates or you will merit a banning. Repeat offenders will be removed from the boards permanently.
5. No Starting Flame Wars
If you are going to post something that may start a flame war, please just don't post it.
Do not post material that could cause a flame war to occur (when members end up throwing insults at each other). Such threads will be closed and such posts deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned from the boards.
6. Do Not Bring Back Old Threads
Bringing back old threads is a form of spam if the thread is no longer relevant. Only post in active or at least still relevant threads. If you continue to bring back old threads you will be banned.
These are only a few rules.. there are more so if you by chance get in trouble for something else that we deem is inappropriate do NOT quote these rules as a source for why you CAN do something!
All rules subject to change
