Community Guidelines

The number one rule of interacting on this community is this:

Don't be a dick.

This is the One Rule to rule them all; most other rules stem from it. If we all followed this rule, there would be no need for other rules. You can read more about not being a dick on our FAQ [link].

Unfortunately being a dick isn't really a punishable offense, so we also have a more specific breakdown of rules.

The following are behaviors that will not be tolerated on the site and will result in corrective action by the moderators:

1) Personal attacks or comments intended to hurt other members.
2) Spamming, trolling, and flaming.
3) Public discussions about real life religion or politics. (Religion/Politics discussions via PM are okay.)
4) Bypassing an account ban or private message block by creating multiple accounts.

Breaking these rules may result in:

- Private reminders about our rules from a moderator.
- Your posts being edited, removed, or locked.
- Account suspension for repeated violations (such as repeatedly making political comments after being asked not to).

The following are self-policing guidelines that will not generally result in corrective action, but make the site more enjoyable for us all:

1) Mark entries that contain explicit content with [NSFW] (Not Safe For Work) tags.*
2) When posting screenshots on the forum, try to keep them under 600px in width. This will help reduce image load times.
3) Keep cursing at a minimum. This is not an age discriminating forum, though we understand the need for the occasional spout of foul language. Use your best judgement when deciding how much is too much.

 *Moderators will add [NSFW] tags to unmarked entries that contain explicit content.

A note about private messages:

Private messages on this forum are just that: private. Moderators cannot read private messages sent between members of the site. If you are being harrassed by another member via PM, you can block PMs from that member by clicking the "Block Author" link in the message screen.

If the member you are trying to block is making multiple new accounts on the site in order to bypass the message block, please let a moderator know and we will take corrective action.
