Here are some reasons why you would get banned, remember, you will be warned only once:
General Poor Behavior- Any type of poor behavior not covered by any of the other warnings.
Off Topic- We suggest all Off Topic threads go in the Off-Topic Forum. A select few title forums allow off topic threads, but a good rule of thumb is that you need to post off topic threads in Off-Topic Forum.
Double Posting- This is known as sequential replies, or posting two replies in a row. Please allow other users to reply before post again. If you forgot something in your original post, please use the edit function to avoid adding to the database.
Quoting Images- Do not quote images, please edit the![]()
tag out so only a link will appear instead of the image in the quoted text (smilies exempt).
Avatar / Signature Abuse- Please note that we do not allow sexual avatars, images in signatures, racist remarks, or signatures text & amp effects that span more space then 75 pixels tall by 795 pixels wide on a 1024x768 resolution. Avatars should also be 5 lines or less.
Insubordination- Please note that the above rules cannot cover every topic that might present itself. If a forum official informs you to stop doing something we ask that you comply. This also covers ignoring additional rules outlined in an Attention thread stuck to the top of the forum.
Spamming- Please note that a definition of spamming is hard to pin down and we leave this up to forum officials on a case by case basis. For general purposes it is any post that does not add any worth to the forum. It could also be obnoxious posts, smilies only, replies that have little intellectual worth, or even large quantities of Off Topic replies.
Swearing- You will be warned only once about this. Absolutely NO swearing!
Trolling- Any series of posts from a user who is set on causing conflict or provoking other users. Again this is monitored on a case by case basis.
Advertising- Advertising any service that is for profit or detracts from general forum social life.
Private Messaging Abuse- Threatening, Spamming, otherwise offensive use of our PM service.
Flaming- Excessive aggression to other forum users. (Forum Dependant)
Racist/Sexist Remarks Offensive comments towards another race or sex. A lesser offensive post might also receive this violation.
Illegal Software References- Links, discussion, or related information to Warez or illegal software of any type.
Offensive Material- Any sexually oriented imagery or links to such content will not be tolerated.
Misc. Instant Ban By Admin.- This is listed for our staff as a form of Instant Banning for any content that would deem immediate action but does not have a specific topic. This is at an admins discretion, and can be for any reason above and beyond those outlined above. This ban is permanent and can only be removed by an Administrator.
