FORUM RULES, These rules apply to all forums Options

[Insurmountable]

SPAM

• One or two word posts (unless it is in the Sandbox)
• A post with smilies (unless it is in the Sandbox)
• Anything not pertaining to the topic (i.e., "South Park is the bestest show ever, no?" in a topic about, say, Myspace codes)
• Chatting --> Some is tolerated, if it relates to the topic, but personal conversations and chatroom-like talking is in no way allowed. Use the chatroom. That's what it's there for.
• Blatant ignorance of forum/topic rules (i.e., Member Photos: there's a rule that you must thumb pictures that stretch out the forums, and if you keep doing it after you're warned, it is considered spam, or warning-worthy)
• Repetitive posts (i.e., in Introductions, copying and pasting "Welcome to cB, and enjoy your stay!" for each thread)
• Repetitive topics (Clubs topics. It's pretty obvious when they're serious clubs and when they're just spammy, chattering clique-y clubs)
• Posting the same topic in more than one forum. There is a place for everything.

POINTLESS THREADS
Random topics that no one will be able to reply to in a productive manner or discuss will be closed. This includes topics like 'I'm bored', "Look at my pics", "Do u love me", topics whose sole intent is to insult someone. These forums are for discussion, not attention seeking.


DUPLICATE TOPICS
If a topic exists a couple of pages away covering the same issues, then the new one
will be closed or merged. Use the awesome search feature or look through the pages to see if it has already been posted; if not, then it should be okay to post.


OBSCENITY
This includes excessive swearing, flaming, posting of pornographic images. Racist, homophobic, sexist remarks or bigotry of any sort will not be tolerated.
PICTURES: No nudity of any type is allowed on the boards.
