I know they may not always be fun, but they are needed to keep the forum clean.

1. SPAM, Flamming or Trolling
We don't want any of it here. It's just annoying and we will take measures against the people that SPAM, Flame or Troll. Just so everyone know what everything is:
SPAM = Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Basically posts that don't contribute and aren't neccecary at all.
Flaming = Harrasing another member and insulting them. We don't want this and you will get punished if you're found flaming.
Trolling = Posting to lure out a flame war or a mad response from someone for fun.

2. Bumping
Try not to bump topics too much. Only bump if you have something relevant to add to the conversation. Also, do not bump your own topics if nobody replied one hour after you posted. It's a forum and people are in different time zones so it may take some time for people to reply to you. If a topic hasn't been posted in for a month, it's not likely that people are still interested in discussing the subject so reviving it would be rather useless.

3. Respect, Racism and Discrimination
We ask of you that you respect other members and the staff. You may disagree at times. but please just know that everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion so have respect for that and don't insult someone just because he or she has a different opinion.
We also don't want to see any kind of racism or discrimination. Everyone here should be treated equally no matter if it's a male or a female, an American or a Chinese. It doesn't matter at all.

4. Post quality
We aren't grammar nazis or even close, but try to keep your post readable. Do not use 1337speak or the like and try to have good grammar and spelling. All posts should be made in English.
Double posting (posting twice, or more, in a row) is also not allowed. This is not MSN or a chatbox, so people won't reply in less then a minute. It may even take 1 hour. Also, if you would want to change what you wrote, use the edit button and do not make another post with your changes in it.

5. Moderation
If you do something wrong, staff might edit your post (often in a different colour) and say what you did wrong. Please do not edit your post to remove those messages. The staff puts his work into keeping the forum clean and leaving those messages so that other can learn from it as well.
Also, if your topic was closed, the staff probably had a good reason for it (which will often be posted). If you do not agree with the reasons or decision, try talking it out with the staff member in question or PM a different staff member and ask for his or her opinion on the matter. Do not insult any staff members just because you disagree with them.

6. Mini-modding
We do not wish to see any "mini-modding." The staff can take care of things themselves and they will talk with a certain member if trouble ensues. You do not need to do it for them.

7. InvisionFree
Please keep in mind that this forum is hosted by InvisionFree, so we have to embide by their rules also. That means that no inapropriate content is to be posted, this includes pornographics content or links to sites where it can be found. There are also members of under the 18 on this forum and we need to keep it clean for them. Anyone found breaking these rules will have their accounts and possibly IPs banned. And of course, the links/images removed.

8. Avatars & Signatures
Avatars should not be larger then 150x150 pixels and shouldn't have gigantic file sizes. Please be reasonable.
Signatures should not contain more then 4 images (excluding forum emoticons) and the images shouldn't stretch the page sideways. They also shouldn't be gigantic in file size. Again, please be reasonable.

9. Advertising
Advertising other forums is only allowed in your own signature. You cannot PM members or post the link anywhere on the forum. If we find out (and believe me, we will) that you are advertising by PM or forum posts we will take measures.

10. Affliation
