Board Rules

Postby gamergirlx » Sun May 17, 2009 8:20 am

This set of rules are general guidelines and may be updated and revised as seen fit by the Zenkaikon Forum Administrators. Use of this forum constitutes that you have read and understood these rules and are willing to abide by them.

Posting:
  • No profanity. Keep things at a PG13 level and below. This is a family friendly forum.
  • No trolling, flaming, or harassment of others on the forums.
  • No spamming - which can include actions such as:
    • Double and cross posting over various threads and topics.
    • Single word or emoticon replies. (ie. Use at least a full sentence)
    • Idle chatter (take it to AIM or PM's)
    • Links that lead to stores and products for sale if not related to the thread.
  • No linking or naming websites that
    • Provide unauthorized torrents or downloads.
    • Contain adult and other inappropriate content.
  • Threads that go off-topic and remain off-topic will be locked.

Avatars, Images, and Signatures:
  • All images on the forum must be family friendly.
    • Stay at or below a PG13 level
    • No profanity
    • No using images to spam, link, or promote sites that contain inappropriate content such as unauthorized torrents, downloads, or adult content.
    • No Hotlinking. Link only to images from your own site/online photo galleries. Don't have one? Try Photobucket or Flickr.
    • If an image is removed due to inappropriate content by an Administrator or a Moderator, do not repost it.
  • Images in posts
    • Limit 2 per post with a size limit of 50KB each with max dimension of 500 pixels high or wide.
    • If you have many images to share, please link to the gallery rather than post them all.
  • Avatars
    • Dimensions must be 100x100 pixels or smaller.
    • Must not exceed 25KB in size.
  • Signatures
    • Can contain text or images/banners.
    • Banner dimensions must be max 500 pixels wide by max 125 pixels high and must not exceed 50KB in size.
    • Text cannot exceed 8 lines (at a standard font size), or approximately up to 125 pixels high.
    • If you use a combination of text and imagery, it must fall within the approximate size of the banner dimensions.

General Forum Tips:
  • Use common sense and basic "netiquette."
  • Correct grammar and punctuation are helpful. Have you ever tried reading a blurb of text with no capitalization, commas, or periods? And as cool as 133tsp33k is, it's not the best form of communication.
  • If you are in doubt whether something is inappropriate, odds are that is probably is. If you're unsure, PM an Admin or Mod for clarification before you post.
  • Stay on topic. If your conversations must go off-topic, use the PM feature to continue your conversation.
  • Do not post personal phone numbers or addresses on a public forum. This is just for your safety. If you must exchange such info, do it in a PM.
  • If you see spam, someone posting inappropriate content or other questionable behavior, report it to a Mod or Admin to take care of.
  • Do not "necro" old threads. If a thread has been inactive for several months, do not post a new response.
  • Admins and Mods are people too, with varying beliefs and values. We do our best to keep the forums user friendly and informative. If you have an issue with a Mod or Admin, contact them via PM to discuss the issue, and if you cannot resolve the issue between yourselves, contact another Admin.

Rule Breakers:
  • Spam accounts, and posts/images with inappropriate content will be deleted without warning.
  • Bans may be issued due to severity of rule breakage. Administrators will make final decisions as to the length of the ban.
  • Admins and Mods will do their best to step in before a situation gets out of control, either by PM, posting in the threads to intercede, by locking threads, or by deleting posts.

Who are the Mods and Admins?
Any of these people can be contacted, though you'll see some on the forums more than others.
