[align=center]-= Forum Rules =-[/align]
By joining our forum you have accepted to follow all of the rules posted here. All of these rules fall under etiquette for the chat-room. If you fail to follow the rules and repeat serious offenses your account will be deleted and banned as well as from the chat-room.
1. Disallowed Content
{S@V3D} is a clan with many members some younger and some older so we're very careful what we have on the forums. These are just a few example of things we don't wish to see on our forums. Basically, Use common sense. If you have yourself questioning if you should post it than it's best not to instead of do something you would regret.
• No nudity, pornography, or racy pictures.
• No gory or over excessively violent pictures.
• No language or profanity. Especially taking the Lord's name in vain.
• No talking of anything sexual, sexual acts, or anything in a sexual context.
• No racial remarks, racism, or sexist text. Jokes especially.
• Giving out personal information of anyone without their permission.
• No talking about illegal acts. For example: Illegal/Pirate Downloads (Music, Movies, Games, etc.), hacking programs, etc.
• Linking to any websites/videos with anything above will be deleted. If there is minor language please post a warning before posting.
2. Spam
We really prefer you don't post any spam on the forums. It clutters things up and makes it hard to read through important topics. Spam will be deleted especially if it's in important topics (Debates, discussions, applications, etc.). We have two places for spam:
The Off Topic Topic and the Chatroom which is on the forum front page.
Here is what is considered spam:
• Double posting. Use the delete button or edit button to counter this.
• Anything that is so unintelligible that it can't be read.
• Anything that has one word posts or just emoticons.
• Any advertising to another clan, websites, etc.
• Any thread that has already been made.
3. Flaming and Trolling
Flaming - verb: To engage in an online argument usually involving unfounded personal attacks by one or more parties.
Trolling - verb: To purposefully antagonize other people on the internet, generally on message boards.
There is absolutely zero tolerance for flaming, trolling, and personal attacks. If there is a "flame war" being started don't involved. Get an admin or moderator. Be respectful to everyone on the forums and be sensitive to their feelings.
Here are some things we don't want to see:
• Don't make any topics about ingame disputes, forum disputes, or disputes between other players.
• If you have a problem with somebody and can't work it out between yourselves send a PM to an admin.
• Don't turn a non-debating topic into a debate topic if it's unneeded.
• Questioning someone else's Christianity will not be tolerated and if you wish to confront someone do it using PMs or IMs.
4. Grammar and Quality
The basic motto for the forum is: Quality is better than quantity. Here are some rules to help with our forums.
• To keep the forums looking nice please use good grammar. Need a few tips? Check out the
Grammar topic. We don't expect perfection but we expect being able to read your post.
• Before making a new topic, Use the Search button and see if it already exists.
• Stay on topic. If you want to start another discussion or debate make another topic. Hijacking a topic into a "bunny" trail discussion will not be tolerated.
5. Announcement Rules
Announcement topics with rules posted as rules are just as important as the rules posted here. Important topics with rules are Life Issues, Applications, etc.
• Read every announcement forum that have stated rules in a specific topic and follow them.
6. Administration
We expect everyone to follow the rules mutually and nobody has more rights than another. You don't have freedom of speech on these forums and don't try and debate it.
• Don't questions a moderator or admin's judgment.
• If you have a problem then send a PM to the admin or moderator.
• If you have any questions as to why you were punished or had something deleted please PM an admin or moderator.
• If anyone has a problem with an admin or moderator please consult the {S@V3D} staff.
