GENERAL SITE RULES - Last Updated July 25, 2011
<br /><br />
1) Only one account per person is permitted.
<br /><br />
2) Admins create rules and policy, Moderators enforce the rules and policies created by Admins.  At times, some discretion is permitted to moderators enforcing site rules.
<br /><br />
3) Do not argue with forum staff after they have performed an administrative action of some kind.  If you feel that an action was or wasn't taken unjustly you may send a respectful PM to an Admin or the appropriate moderator to discuss the issue.  Do not create posts or public discussions to rant about Admins, Moderators, or decisions.
<br /><br />
4) Be respectful of other members.  Joking and teasing a little towards users now and then is fine, but you cannot take it too far.  Outright trolling, inflammatory, or overly offensive content is not allowed.  This would include, but not limited to, making it your personal vendetta to take someone down for their religion, race, sexual orientation, gaming console preference, or like of Inuyasha.  Admins and Moderators may have some discretion in determining what is being taken too far and what is permissible on a case-by-case basis.
<br /><br />
5) Make sure that your post is relevant to the forum which you are posting it in.  Example:  You shouldn't be starting a forum game outside of the Forum Games forum.
<br /><br />
6) Do not post in unsticked posts that have not been used in over 3 months, unless there is a current, relevant reason to do so.  (Example:  It's okay to post something relevant in thread for an upcoming convention even if that thread hasn't been used in a while.)
<br /><br />
7) For the moment Youtube videos may be embedded into posts, but it is NOT permitted to set them to autoplay or to embed excessively.
