§pam: [manufactured meat]
- SPAM, defined as an unnecessary, off-topic post, and/or one that does not contribute to the discussion.
- One liners fall into the SPAM category. If you feel the need to post something, please make sure it has enough content to keep the conversation interesting.
- If you need to post a message that does not fit into any of the threads and is undeserving of a new one, use the General Discussion thread to post it.
ƒlaming: [only you can prevent forum fires]
- Flaming is defined as offending or arguing with another member. If you feel that a problem with another member may arise, please
PM me or 
report troublesome posts.þosts: [take your time to avoid crappy posts]
- Before posting in a thread, please read through it. This prevents having to answer questions that have been asked ten times over. Besides, it's annoying.
moderation:
- As the forum moderator, I am responsible for keeping the forum running smoothly and keeping the posters in line. All rules mentioned in this post will be enforced and troublemakers will be dealt with accordingly.
- Threads will be closed when they reach the 30 page limit. Be sure you read the comment made when a moderator closes a thread for information regarding whether or not a new thread dealing with that topic may be created. If a thread is closed before the 30 page limit, it has either expired and is no longer useful, it was spam and/or did not belong in this forum, or I felt that it needed to be closed for any other reason which I will specify in the thread upon closure.
- Do not memberate! Memberating is the act of taking a forum issue into your own hands and self-proclaiming your "power". I'm here to keep the place under control and I know what I'm doing, so there should be no issues. Instead, make good use of the report feature (but don't overdo it).
- When you see a thread that you feel urgently needs to be closed, simply report the first post in that thread. Don't feed the fire! In other words, don't bother contributing to a thread that I will most certainly have to close unless you are helping the originator out with their problem. Please don't request closure of a thread that you did not create.
- If I have to repeatedly correct you, you are obviously not following the rules and that certainly warrants a ban.
øther rules: [important | read them carefully]
- Adhere to all forum-wide rules. If you have any questions, please refer to the site FAQ before proceeding to ask them personally.
- Use the Topic Index effectively. This is here to help you find threads that interest you and to avoid duplicate topics.
Follow these simple guidelines, and your time here will be far more enjoyable.
My duty is to keep the forum under control, and I'm fairly leniant so long as you don't do anything too stupid.
