Me and "Vtd" (as most of you probably know him as) have decided to modify the rules. These are merely the rules as per the ProBoards agreement. They pertain to those that are already present as well as those interested in signing up. Please read the following:
-
-
-
You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of ANY law. This is not only humorous, but legal actions can be taken against you. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or you have consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also inappropriate to this forum.
Note that it is impossible for us to confirm the validity of posts on this forum. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the posted messages and are not responsible for their content. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information presented. The messages express the views of the author, not necessarily the views of this forum. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator of this forum immediately. We have the rights to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy goes for member profile information as well.
You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless this forum, and any related websites to this forum. We at this forum also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any information we have about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any information posted by you.
You have the ability, as you register, to choose your username. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password out to another member, for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another member's account to post messages or browse this forum.
After you register and log into this forum, you can fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information we deem inaccurate or vulgar will be removed.
Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded, in the event that you need to be banned from this forum or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.
You are solely responsible for any and all attachments that you post to this forum.

THE PROVIDER GIVES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

By clicking "Sign Up" the User hereby agrees to the terms set forth in this agreement under penalties of perjury and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Provider from any claim resulting from the use of the Provider's services and agree that all information provided by the User to the Provider is true.
Additionally, I don't have any major preferences, but I have one big pet peeve. For one, if you're going to mention major spoilers that are parts of games, books, movies etc., label them as such:
Spoilers:
*This sample message is lame.
It'sreally common sense pretty easy to do. I'd also refrain from harassing users. If you have a problem with someone, PM a mod or administrator. We'll look into it.
This new rule is added by Vyse the determined:
If you use a signature image, it should be no bigger than 70KB in size. Please do not create images that are too big in height too. The height should not exceed 150px. Also, do not use animated avatars that are more than 100KB in size. I apologize, but there are no exceptions. If you have something that goes over any of these even slightly, you must use something else. It will help the board run smoother and there is absolutely no need for an animated signature that is over 1MB (believe me, I've seen this). If you refuse to change something (or are away for a while and do not know you are violating a rule) and we notify you about it, we will manually change it.
You should only have a maximum of three lines of text for your signature. As for image based topics, the images can be whatever you want, so long as you post something like *56K WARNING!* or something along those lines. Show some concern for those that may have difficulties upgrading. Thank you.
These rules are merely posted here for quick referencing, should you need to familiarize yourself with the rules. Please be mature, and use your better judgment. Enjoy.
