The Following Rules MUST Be Followed.
Pictures:
--ALL pictures should be considered PG
--No nudity, porn, drugs or extremely gruesome pictures. Uploading or [IMG] Tagging to those types of photos will result in a Ban and could result in account deletion. [URL] linking WITH a de5cription of where the link leads is acceptable.
--Do not post pictures that are over the size of 640 pixels wide unless the thread was originally created by you. (be courteous about page stretching) Use the IMG Resizing tags to make sure they are in compliance.
Posting links:
--You may post a link to whatever you want; but if the material on the target page is not safe, then a proper warning and de5cription of the target must be provided.
-not safe = content that is not allowed to be posted directly in the forums, such as: nudity, gruesome pictures, personal information, and also does not contain anything malicious such as a virus.
--when posting block links, you must provide the name of the account that the link will block.
--No posting referral links, from any website!
Spamming:
If many people agree that you are being annoying, then you may be accused of spamming (the term is used loosely around here).
Note: Some of the spamming guidelines should require that a warning be issued before a ban, since the definitions are more open for interpretation between Mods.
--Avoid making numerous worthless or totally immature posts.
--No one word posts!
--Do not excessively and repeatedly abuse features such as posting with huge font or posting a stupid picture.
--Do not bump extremely old topics unless you are adding important information regarding the past discussion.
--Persistent and troublesome egg spammers will be banned everywhere possible!!
--Do not post with an alternate account to avoid a ban. This is a serious offence, your alternate account may be given the MAXIMUM ban time.
--Do not spam in group forums to raise your post count.
--Posting the same message to multiple boards is not allowed and there’s really no reason for it.
Flame wars and arguments:
--No defamatory statements: Defamatory statements are, for example, statements that contain certain kinds of untrue factual information about a person or a company that is derogatory.
--Flames and arguments in a thread are usually tolerated. It becomes a problem when 2 or more people are constantly fighting and arguing in multiple threads that is causing a disturbance.
--Insulting and troublesome n00bs (trolls/spammers) will not be tolerated.
Advertising:
--No advertising, of either a personal or business nature that does not pertain to this website.
--You are allowed to advertise eggs or groups in a pre-existing thread, as long as the link is relevant to the topic (do not abuse this privilege!!)
--Do not make new thread topics advertising groups or eggs, (exception as follows)
--PowerEgg (LvL 10+) status members may advertise groups as a new thread topic.
Members below PowerEgg (LvL 1 thru 9) status may advertise groups in The Sandbox ONLY.
Posting personal information:
--Do not post people’s personal information on this website, whether it is of somebody who belongs to this website or not. Personal information includes and is not limited to information such as: full (real) names, phone numbers, home address, myspace profile links. You may post your own personal information only if you can prove that it is indeed your information.
Deleting thread topics:
It may be necessary for us to delete thread topics that are dysfunctional, stupid, or extremely controversial. The reason for this is to make way for more interesting and fun topics, therefore making the forums a better place to visit. Please feel free to message a mod asking why your topic was deleted.
Taken from the main GD rules. Thanks.
