Rules for everyone

1. Rules for posting to the forum

1.1 - Ensure that your new topics are in the correct forum.
It makes it easier to keep track of topics and saves the moderator team from constantly moving topics.
1.2 - Do not post topics or replies containing:
Subjects which have already been discussed numerous times (please Search first, especially the FAQ section).
Flames directed towards other users (locked on sight, possibly with a temporary ban).
Anything not relating to the original subject of the topic (although 'Off topic' Chat is rather flexible).
Images linked from other sites without their permission (simply giving a URL is much more polite).
Any derogratory comments based on age, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity or nationality (which will be met with a swift ban).
1.3 - Do not promote your own site, unless:
It's to show off something cool you've done.
It's a personal site.
It's to help somebody find something they're looking for.
1.4 - Do not post spam.
Spam includes advertisements, content deemed inappropriate or illegal, and flooding of the boards.
Spammers will receive a swift kick in the ass, as well as a lengthy ban.
1.5 - Do not make needless, incessant usage of:
Emoticons.
Line breaks or ALL-CAPS.
Nested quotes.
Giant fonts with ugly colours which makes it hard to read.
Swearing or derogatory terms.
Text Speak!
1.6 - Posting long url addresses
If the url address you are posting into a thread is too long it will annoyingly extend the page. In these cases please make use of the url function instead.
1.7 - Your private messaging capability may be disabled if abused
A central list of IM, PM and e-mail abusers is kept, so repeat offenders will be banned.
1.8 - Ensure that your signature:
Does not contain excessively large images, annoying animations or offensive pictures or text.
It is not overly long
Follows all the rules applying to posts themselves.
Does not exceed 500 x 100

Last but not least, we hope for enjoy the Forum, from all the Admin Team
