While we do aim to provide our users with as much freedom as possible, we also like to keep our site 100% family friendly. It is because of this that we ask for all users and staff to adhere to the following 13 rules for the safety and enjoyment of the community as a whole. The rules are presented, in no particular order, along with detailed descriptions of each rule. You will also find the number of demerits you will recieve for breaking the rule. Each user starts with 0 demerits, and can work their way up to a maximum of 5 demerits, at which point a ban may be considered. Demerit values are not exact, and can be assigned at the sole descretion of the moderator. Thank you for taking the time to observe the rules. Enjoy the forums!
