Posting Spamming - Spamming is not allowed here, you will recieve a warning first but after that we will take action. Posts with less then 2 words are considered spam. Smileys don't count as words. Posts that make no sense and/or are irrelevant are considered spam. Post Farming - Post farming is when users post things, which although may not be considered spam, is usually posted just to increase their post count, and usually doesn't add anything relevant to the topic at hand. This will be treated the same as SPAM, you will first recieve a warning but afterwards we will take action. The same goes for posting in a topic and deleting your post over and over to increase your post count Flaming - We will take flaming VERY serious here, if you get caught flaming twice in the same day you will be suspended. This includes calling someone a liar and demading that they show pictures as proof for something. Inappropriate Posts - The Portal is a family friendly forum. Inappropriate posts, whether the actual post content or the wording, will be dealt with accordingly. Likewise, cursing is not allowed, and will be filtered. Cursing also extends to derogatory/offensive terms and /or phrases. If you see a doubtful post that hasn't been dealt with, please report it to the staff. Depending on the severity, their post may be filtered and the offender may receive a warning PM explaining what they did wrong and requesting they stop, or they may receive a warning and/or suspension. Topic Bumping - Posting in a topic that hasn't been updated for 2 or more months unless you post something that adds value to the topic (E.g. updating your art or collection topic after a break.) Double Posting - Please don't post twice in a row in the same topic without a 1 hour difference. ALL CAPS - Don't create a post with only capital letters. It is considered very annoying by most and you will recieve a warning if you do. This is basically a form of spamming. Fighting - We're not going to tolerate any fights, even if they're a misunderstanding, everything will and should be handled through PMs if you have a disagreement. Otherwise you can be warned or even suspended if the fight is bad enough. Fighting moderators and admins is even worse and can result in a ban or suspension. Avoiding Filters - The filter is there for a reason and purposely avoiding it will not be tolerated. Stealing - Stealing art, stealing tips and copying other persons articles and tricks, etc. aren't allowed. Those who steal will get a warning. Backseat Modding/Mini-Modding - It's the staff's job to enforce the rules, so leave it to them. Seeing members telling other members what to do as if they own the place is very annoying in the eyes of most staff, and this behavior is punishable by warn in some cases. __________________________________________________________ Avatars and Signatures Please don't make your signatures wider than the board or really long. Signatures that stretch the page or are too tall will be shortened or removed. This means, do not allow your signature to exceed 560px width. No inappropriate sigs and avatars, remember there are younger children here. Vertical Friend Lists may also be removed if we think they are scrolling too much. ___________________________________________________________ Multiple Accounts Multiple accounts are pointless in having and waste board memory. If you are caught having multiple or alternate accounts, all but the main account will be deleted, and you will recieve a suspension for a set amount of days. If you ask for your account to be deleted, these rules apply to any second or third accounts you make, alot of us are members at other sites, message us there and we'll talk. ___________________________________________________________ Staff Do not harass staff about any mistakes they have made, we're only human, if you think we have made a mistake point it out to us in a PM and we shall examine it. Breaking this rule can and will result in warnings. Do not bash or insult or flame the staff for whatever reason, even if we're staff this is still flaming and will be dealt with accordingly. If you are warned then accept it, if you think you were warned unfairly then talk about it rationally, don't get angry with staff, otherwise you can and will get another warn. ___________________________________________________________ These rules will be enforced and can be changed.
