Board Rules
********** PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING UP **********
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To see all the sections, you will need to register. Certain restrictions are in place for new members and are only available when you become a full member. New signups cannot use the PM and Email systems.


After registration, please take one moment to post a topic about yourself in the 'Introduce Yourself' section, so that the rest of the members can welcome you into our community. Also please read the rules. To enjoy your time on this forum, I recommend you obey these rules. They are by no means in any order, and should be treated equally. I stick by any action taken by an Admin or Moderator. If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, please let a Admin know.


The rules are as follows:

********** BOARD RULES **********
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. No Spamming.

I run a place to show your graphics, images and creations. I do not run a place to spam posts, if you want to do that, surely there are other boards around. Any spam encountered will result in your post deleted. Multiple spamming posts consitutes a warning, removal of anything I see fit, and/or a banning. Just enjoy yourself and have fun.

2. No Flaming

If you feel someone has made an improper comment, please report it to an Admin or Moderator, and they will be dealt with accordingly. If you don't agree with an action taken by an Admin, or Moderator, please report it.

3. No Racist Comments.

This board caters to people of all races, and if you have any of these type of comments, I suggest you keep them to yourself. Any racist comment will be dealt with seriously, and involve a warning, or even an instant ban, and with the latter result, causing your comment and IP forwarded to your ISP. This is a serious matter.

4. Respect other members.

A rule I take strongly, everyone here is to be treated equally, and any talking down to anybody will result in a warning and/or banning.


7. Criticism

Is allowed. I allow this, but only when graphics have been posted and have comments. I feel that if you have designed something and want to show it off, that you are at least to be able to take negative comments as well as positive ones. This means you can post a reply with a message like 'that sucks'.

8. Uploading images is allowed.

I have a Gallery section where you can upload images to my host. Please use it, but try to refrain from uploading huge images such as backgrounds. Please provide a link or hotlinked image when doing so.

9. Have fun.

A rule I enforce, and one I want you to follow strongly.



********** THINGS TO UNDERSTAND **********
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Warning feature.

The warning feature is there to let you know if you've broken a rule, and can only be adjusted by Admin or Moderator. You get five chances, after that, you're banned. If over time you do receive a warning, that level will drop if you continue to obey these rules. You will be notified by a pm or email of your error, and any decision by an Admin or Moderator is backed up by myself. If you think you have been treated unfairly in this matter, please report it to me (Magpie), and I will look into the situation.

PM Advertising.

Just don't do it. Bannings will result from this. You will be found out, one way or the other.
