RULES

RULES:

1. MUST READ AND FOLLOW ALL RULES
All the rules should be pinned. If I, or one of the moderators find that you have broken a rule, you will get informed. Once you've been informed four times about the rules, your fifth time will be a warning. Once you've hit a certain amount of warnings, you will be banned from the forum.

2. NO DOUBLE POSTING
Double posting is the act of posting a comment one right after the other. It's usually done on accident. So if you do double post, edit the post and say "dp accident".

3. NO BASHING
No bashing the members, celebrities, or artworks. If a member asks you to c/c their work, it's okay to do that, but don't be too harsh. Each and every member has feelings remember. Not just you.

4. NO PERVETTED/PORNOGRAPHIC ANYTHING ALLOWED
I'm pretty sure there's quite an amount of members under 18 here that would not like to see or read anything along the lines. I myself would not like my forum to be corrupted with pervetted things.

5. COMMENT AND CREDIT IF YOU USE SOMETHING
The artists used their time and effort on the graphics/drawings/music. If you take something drop a line. If you use a banner or avatar, credit in your signature.

6. NO STICKY CAPS
For those who don't know what sticky caps are, it's when you capitalize some letters other than the first letter of a name or title. Ex: "tHis iS STicKy CaPS" it's annoying to my eyes, and I'm pretty sure it is annoying to others also so please don't do it.

7. EVERYTHING MUST BE IN ENGLISH
If you have a phrase on some type of art then that's okay as long as you tell us what it means when you post. I want to be able to read and know what everyone is talking about. Plus, there are a whole bunch of different people who speak different languages. You could be bashing someone, and we wouldn't know also. So please just stick to English.

8. DON'T BE A SILENT READER
If you don't have time to comment how you should, leave a comment saying 'this is my spot, will edit later' then come back and edit it. That's all you have to do. I'm pretty sure writers want your opinions on their stories. And since they are nice enough to post them up, you could spend a minute, probably less, and just drop a few lines.

9. NO SPAMMING
You must have at least 5 words in a comment. Any less well be considered as spamming and you will be asked to edit your post. If we find that you do not edit it, then we will warn you.

10. HAVE FUN
The main point of this forum is for people to have fun on it. . . So you might as well go ahead and have fun!

11. AVATAR AND SIGNATURE RULES
Maximum avatar size is 100 x 100. Minumum is 75 x75. Please don't go any smaller or even think about going larger because it won't work.
Maximum banner size is 450 x 150. No larger. You can go as small as you want, just make sure you don't go larger or you will be warned.
Maximum lines of text in your signature are 3 lines.
Maximum text size is 5.
Maximum banners in your signature is two.
Maximum avatars in your signature is three.
Maximum animations/blinkies in your signature will be two.

12. LITERATURE RULES
Must give your story a rating in the title.
[PG] - nothing bad in it
[PG -13] - cursing
[R] - some lemon
Must tell who is featured in your story.
No plagerizing stories. If I find out that the story is not written by you, you will be banned. However, if you have the permission and consent of the writer, pm me with proof of it and I will allow you to post it.

13. POSTING TOPICS
When you post a topic, you must capitalize the first letter of every important word in the title.

14. MUST INTRODUCE YOURSELF
Once you've joined, you must go introduce yourself in 'Stopping By to Say Hello'. After that, you may do as you please.



MONEY SYSTEM
The money system allows you to buy items once I've set the shop up. You get money by posting. For each post, you get $10. For the contests, the posts that are added on, you get money added on for that also.

HIDE TAGS
Hide tags prevent members from seeing images before they comment. This can only be used in the graphics section. They must leave a comment first and then go back and edit the post once they've seen the pictures. To use the procedure copy and paste the following code.

DOWNLOADS
I will have a thread for downloads. You cannot see the threads in it unless you have the password. In order to get the password, you must PM me once you've gotten at least 50 posts. If I find that you give the password away. I will take the privelage of using this thread away from you.

GLOBAL MODS
A global mod is a moderator of every thread. In order to become one, you must already be a moderator. For those mods wishing to be one, I only have 3 slots open. You must have at least 25 posts to be a global mod. PM me if you'd like to be one.
