Each individual that wishes to be part of this clan MUST post in the recruitment log with the necessary information. This is to confirm to us that you are not a bot that signed up in our forum and are in fact planning to be an active member. If this is not done, you will be removed.-not reading this post is bannable offense.
-so is not reading FAQ post and any other stickified and locked topic. They are out there to keep you from asking the same question for umpteenth time.
-WAREZ or any other illegal materials will NOT be tolerated on these forums; keep in mind we're trying to stay alive here.
-being stupid is a bannable offense. funny randomness isn't.
-don't quote whole previous post just to say 'lol, i agree'. you can say 'lol, I agree, Spire', or if the previous post is large, and you just have comments for one part, quote just that part
-don't double-post. remember that you can edit your post. don't edit your post that is a couple pages ago though, because no-one checks old posts, unless they are Rules or FAQ sections, which are updated from time to time
-don't have big signatures. I mean it. I will give no specific size, just try to use common sense.
-use normal english language in your posts. 'wtf' or 'w00t' once in a while is funny, but I'm starting to delete-on-sight any new posts which will be written in n00bspeak.
-spamming is a good way to earn a perm IP/screenname ban.
-all advertising goes into the Other board
-don't pm me with the question 'where is FAQ'. if you are unable to find it, there's no point in wasting my time with you.
-abuse of the word 'lol' is a bad thing, lol
-SPAEK LIEK THAT AND U R GONNAN GET BANZORED LOLOLOL
-did I tell you already that not reading FAQ will get admins medieval on your ass? It will.
-so will spamming the dev boards. for random talk go to Other Boards
-giving false information (based on things you only THINK you know), will make you the receiving end of the ban stick slappage in no time.
-reviving old posts without anything important to say 'yeah' ( or even saying 'I agree totally, like wow! With cherry on top!') is spamming to raise post count and will be treated like spam.
-Some user names are FORBIDDEN basically because we don't support copycatting names from games/anime and it just looks stupid and unoriginal, and its worth a instant ban. Also, leave the politics and religion at home with the usernames. i.e. no "DieObamaDie" or "IhateJesus"
-using every color of the rainbow isn't cool. it's not worth a ban or warning, but some people are color blind or find it annoying to read, so please spare their eyes
-writing very long sentences disregarding any common sense and punctuation laws is a BANNABLE OFFENSE especially if those sentences are riddled with 'ur', 'lol', 'me2' and the like some might not be native english speakers don't make it harder for them 2 understand what u meant writing post on a forum iz not the same as writing a text - u have time u have space. USE THEM.
-USE 'U' INSTEAD OF 'YOU' AND I WILL BAN YOU. Seriously.
