General Rules|Rules for the whole site

[Toxickitten]

These rules apply for the whole site on every thread of every board.

1. Please be respectful of the staff.

The staff work hard to maintain the peace on the forum and they are given a high position for a reason. Please respect their say and if they tell you to do something you had better do it.

If a staff member is abusing their power, please report them to the admin Atomickitten.

Please do not mini-mod! If you or someone else is not sure of something that's what pms are for. Just pm one of the mods or admin and they will help you. That is one of the reasons they're there for.

Please report anyone caught mini-moding as we want to cut bad habits before they develop. If anyone wishes to be a staff member yourself, pm Atomickitten and she will think it over.

2. No all caps, 1337 or chatspeak.

We here at the Dragon's End forum can't stand all caps, chatspeak and using numbers as letters. Most of the time it is extremely difficult to understand and it is not proper English.

Please try to use proper grammar and spelling. It's not that hard to find a spell checker for your internet browser. Firefox, I believe, comes with a spell checker.

3. Please refrain from posting copyrighted material.

Some works the author doesn't mind it being used elsewhere but if an author has requested that no one use it, please refrain from posting it here. If the author says you can use it as long as you ask for permission or just site the author then please do so. We don't want anyone to get into trouble for copyright infringement now.

4. Post in your threads in the proper areas.

Please post your threads in their respectively categorized board. If you want to post something about a tv show, don't post it in the gaming board. There are several different boards to place your posts so please choose the one that best fits its topic.

5. Stay on topic.

If someone starts a thread about one thing, don't veer off to another subject. Either make your own thread or try to get back on the main subject. It's okay to get distracted for a bit but don't change the subject of the topic all together.

6. Be respectful of your fellow member.

Disagreements are common but we don't want things to get out of hand. Please keep all heated conversations to a minimum or find a civil way to agree to disagree.

7. Please refrain from posting or discussing any NSFW (Not Safe For Work) related material.

This community tolerates no more then PG-13 rated material. Anything X rated is prohibited and will not be tolerated. It is also against Proboards rules for any content related to be posted.

8. No spamming.

Spamming is not tolerated. There are designated areas for advertisements, posting links to other comics and roleplay boards but links to random sites, posting more then twice or posting with no real topic for the thread is considered spamming and is not appreciated.

9. Vulgar names are prohibited.

Please refrain from creating your account with vulgar names or linking to sites with an inappropriate url.
