Uhmm.. I'm a member of this foum : otakuzine-mag.com and, I'm gonna copy their rules.. kindly read some familiar ones and those should be implemented here. [quote]Fellow Otakus, Thank you for joining the Otakuzine Anime Magazine Messageboard. The following is the list of rules and guidelines of the board. Please read them before posting. All questions must be directed to the "Questions" thread located in the Suggestions and Questions forum under the Old School Thread category. 1. Please avoid the following: *Spamming, Flooding and Off-Topic Posting *Flaming, Member Harassment, Use of Profanities *Useless/Racist/Biased/Hate Topics *Powerposting/Chatting within topics/threads unless otherwise allowed *Double-posting/Consecutive Posting [b]*Creating multiple accounts[/b] [b]2. One (1) negative reputation per violation will be issued to members who are caught commiting any of the above. Members with five (5) negative reputations will automatically be banned from the forum for one (1) week.[/b] 3. Negative reputations may be updated by the moderators who issued them. Members who will receive one (1) negative reputation will be put under probation for a period of two (2) weeks. If his/her number of negative reputation does not increase within the specified period, moderators may update the negative reputation to a neutral reputation. (This way, warning messages are retained but negative reps are decreased). 4. Otakuzine Anime Magazine Messageboard is an English-Filipino forum. Therefore, posts and topics must be in those languages. 5. In starting new topics, make sure of the following: * A similar thread does not exist anywhere. If another thread already exist, replies will be divided and the topic will be less effective/informative. This will also result in a very cluttered section. * Use an appropriate title. There will be more replies if you use the proper title (or subject). Additionally, those who are not interested in your subject won't be inconvenienced. *Be detailed and precise in your message. Failure to do so will only result in follow-up questions or wrong replies caused by mis-interpretations. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other topics and see where your topic should go. If your topic is placed in the wrong forum, it will be moved by a moderator. The same rule holds for individual posts. If a posts is found to be off-topic it will be deleted without warning by our moderators so post wisely. [b]7. Locked/Closed topics will be moved to the Recycle Bin after 3 days or immediately depending on the nature of the topic.[/b] 8. Direct-linking to sites with contents that infringes upon any rights (including, but not limited to, copyrights and trademarks) is not allowed. 9. Hotlinking of images and posting images/pictures without permission or credit to the original owner will not be tolerated. 10. Avatars (preferably) should be no larger than 15kb; in JPG or GIF format. Maximum size is 100x100 pixels. The image/images depicted in the avatar must also have a GP rating. 11. Picture signatures (preferably) should be no larger than 100kb; in JPG or GIF format. Maximum size is 500x250 pixels. The image/images depicted in the signature must also have a GP rating. 11. When posting images within a topic/thread, it is recommended to put the URL of these images instead of attaching files or using image tags if these images are larger than 15kb or 400x200 pixels. [b]12. Forum Moderators are volunteers that give up their time to help build a better messageboard. They will assist with focusing topics and enforcing guidelines. They have the ability to edit/delete posts, to move, close or delete topics, and to temporarily moderate/edit members’ posts.[/b] [b]13. Members may not argue a moderators decision publicly. Any and all complaints directed at a moderator must first address the moderator in question via PM. If the problem can not be resolved, then the moderator and user must send their positions to the forum admin. The forum admin will make or change any and/or all final decisions.[/b] [b]13. Otakuzine reserves the right to change these rules/guidelines at any time. All changes will be effective at the time they are posted.[/b] Enjoy posting![/quote] [i]credits to otakuzine-mag.com for this rules.[/i]
