Attitude towards other members and/or staff
1. Posts that belittle other members will not be tolerated.
If someone comes here and asks for help, please give them a sensible answer and point them in the right direction. Do not make fun of them solely because they are new. We were all new one day and we all might have needed help likewise.
2. If you cannot be civil when replying, please do not reply. This is a friendly community.
3. Please do not try to convert anyone to your way of thinking whether it be your internet browser/religion preference/or any other kind of preference or choice. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and should not be made to change theirs because you don't agree with it. If someone does ask for help with anything relating to 'their opinion', then either help them in a friendly way or ignore the thread/post.
Polls
1. Polls must have at least 2 choices.
2. When making your poll, be sure to promote discussion, to back up the choice they made (why did they choose that option).
3. The poll starter should post their choice and why.
4. Think carefully before posting the poll, do some research if needed (don't want to miss an option).
5. No tournaments.
Any poll that does not follow the above guidelines will be locked.
Other/General Rules
1. Only post support related posts in forums for that subject.
2. Do not reply to obvious spam threads. Spam is considered any thread that lacks any point of discussion or is inappropriate to be discussed at ProBoards. If the first post should never have been made, then replies to it are considered as spam.
3. Do not create threads where the subject at hand is already being discussed. This is confusing for members and redundant.
4. No one-liners please and thank you. Posts should try to be at least 200 words, or about 1 paragraph.
5. Staff may lock a thread at any time for any reason. If the reason is not obvious, a justification post will be made to explain the action. Do not make threads about locked threads.
6. Do not post any material that may cause distress to others, this includes flashing images (triggers epilepsy), and 'screamers' (images that suddenly change to a screaming face)
7. No God-Modding or Power-Playing. It is rude, and if someone does do this, do not try to correct them. Let a staff member know and we will deal with it. It is part of our job after all.
8. Don't create any Gary-Stews or Mary-Sues. People have faults, so do our characters. No one is perfect.
9. Also don't create a candidate specifically in the hopes of getting a ranking dragon or new color. The staff gives out colors as fairly as possible, meaning that someone with no rankers has a better chance impressing one than a member with one already. Same goes for the new colors.
10. Have fun. There is a reason for this forum, and having fun is it.
