Forum Rules

1. General Forum Rules

Violation of Forum Rules
Violators of the forum rules will be given warning points (WP) and possibly have their post deleted. There are no "verbal warnings." Warnings points will serve as their name suggests, a warning. Warning points can accumulate into a ban.

User can't view warning points, but a notification will be given every time the user receives warning points. Duration of bans varies, depending on warning points accumulated.

Sometimes a ban could be issued without notification (usually for serious offenses), in this case, warning points notification serve as banning notification.

Serious offenses:

• using information on the forums to dig out personal information (privacy infringement, "doxing")
• posting suicidal*, terrorism, and or anything related to criminal activity.
• constantly targeting and insulting a user
• threatening the mods or a user, in a way that tries to intimidate or ends up scaring the receiver

User that disagree with locking/deleting thread are welcomed to PM moderator that performed the action.

Reporting Violation of Rules

There are report button for post and comment. If you happen to encounter a violation of rules, report them instead of directly replying to the thread/status as it would often lead to off-topic discussion. For the same reason, summoning a mod to lock/delete/edit is not recommended either. Simply report or ignore the post content.

*In the case you are feeling depressed or down, you are welcomed to make a thread in general so another user could cheer you up.

Reporting

• Please report all violators via the report button. Tagging a moderator to report a violator is not the correct way to report it.
• If you have complaints towards a mod, send them a PM. Don't post on their profile or make a thread about it. There is absolutely no need to make it a public affair.

Others

• Ban evasion will result in your clone being banned and will increase the time on the original ban.
• Don't ask for or give links to pirated content.
