Here are the basic posting rules. Some of the forums may have their own set of additional rules, but these rules apply to anywhere, unless otherwise stated. Also, all the rules apply to the Shoutbox and IRC, except for the double posting and advertising. Just don't advertise your website all the time on the Shoutbox and IRC.

1. No flaming. This means don't insult someone.
2. No spam. Spam is either posting with just one word, or posting something that has nothing to do with the topic.
3. No trolling, as in, don't sign up just to spam the place or flame everyone. You will not be given any warnings.
4. No racism, sexism, or flaming religions.
5. Please, don't go overboard with Text Talk (LOL, brb, ECT.). Also, bad grammar is okay to a certain point, but when it's painful to read your posts, we'll ask you to clean it up a little bit. Swearing is permitted here, but don't go overboard.
6. No double posting. Double posting is when you post two or more times in a row. You can only double post if it's your art topic and you're posting new art.
7. Don't bump a really dead topic.
8. No porn, no hentai, no anything related to that. Period. This will earn you an automatic ban.
9. No ROMs, MP3s, or any illegal shit. No talk of them or links. We're not trying to be mean, it's just against the law.
10. Don't advertise outside of the Advertisement forum or your sig.
11. Don't pretend to be a staff member, or otherwise someone you're not. Pretending to be a staff member is also considered backseat modding, and it's pretty much when you tell someone else that they're breaking the rules and/or to read the rules. If someone's breaking the rules, use the Report Button.
12. Don't make your sig too big. No higher than 250 pixels. Banners that stretch the board will be asked to be resized. Also, HTML is allowed, but don't go overboard; don't add YouTube videos or anything like that. And keep your signatures under a filesize of 250kb.

If you break a rule (usually after you do it a few times), a staff member will PM you will a warning. After that, you'll be striked. After that, if you still continue to break the rules, you will continue to get striked.

Strike 1: Warning
Strike 2: Suspension (how long depends on the offense)
Strike 3: Ban

After 6 months of being banned, you may ask a staff member to be allowed back in. After that, the staff members will decide either or not to let you back in.

Please check the rules often, because they're updated time over time.
