1.) Do not discuss any forms of illegal activities on the forums or through PMs. This includes cracks, warez, serials, illegal downloads and ways to hack this site or others or any type to cause damage to this site or others. Post another’s personal information is also not allowed. This includes names, addresses, SS/SN Numbers, and pictures without that person’s consent. Posting your own information is ill advised as well.
2.) Excessive profanity is generally frowned upon and flaming in excessive amounts can result in a ban. What is excessive is left up to he moderator, but generally repetitively flaming a member unprovoked is considered excessive. This also includes suggesting suicide or making threats on a person or person’s life, these things are not tolerated and will result in a ban.
3.)Discrimination against one or many racial groups, religion, sex, sexual orientation is also not allowed. Debates are welcomed, however you have no right to post inflammatory or clearly ridiculous allegations against certain ways of life or otherwise. Doing so will likely result in a ban.
4.) Spamming the forums is not allowed. You are welcomed to occasionally venture off topic in certain sections of the site, after all we want you to have fun. However this does mean you can constantly post several times in a row for the purpose of raising post count, out of boredom, or for any other reason. Doing so to continue conversation with another is perfectly fine. The sections you are to stay on topic in at all times are On Topic and Feedback. Naturally you aren’t allowed to rapidly create several topics in a row either. As this is considered spamming the forums and will result in a ban. Advertising other sites can and will likely also be considered spamming. You’re welcomed to add a link to your signature but advertising other sites in a post or creating a thread is not allowed.
5.) Our forums are to remain, for the most part, kid friendly. Adult images, videos, or other media showing nudity in any form are prohibited and will result in an immediate ban. This includes links to pornographic websites or websites that host pornographic materials. As such perverse comments are also to be kept off the forums. Many members on this site could be under the age of consent and thus minors. This is illegal in most countries and will NOT be tolerated on this website. Offenders will be banned and if necessary reported to the police. We take this rule very seriously.
6.) Our games, movie, and television forums tend to be very active and the latest releases are constantly being talked about. As such some people may simply be searching for small amounts of information on the media to determine if they should check it out and do not want the premise to be completely spoiled for them. We do not have spoilers tags on this forum, but there are still ways to mark spoilers. You can make your text white with the color BB code or you can put in large bold text at the top of your post “Spoiler Alert” or something similar. Posts with major spoilers will likely be edited when seen and repeaters could be banned.
7.) These same rules are in regard to all formats of communication on this site. This includes Posts, Thread Titles, User Names, User Titles, Signatures, Avatars, User Pages, and PMs.
Special Note on bans across multiple accounts.
In some cases a moderator may have the right to not only ban a rule breaking account but also other accounts that person may have. This should only be done if you are certain the accounts in question all belong to the same person. This should only be done to serious infractions to the site rules. And finally bans given to other accounts shouldn’t be as harsh as the ban given to the main account.
That was my modded set. But it was too wordy and people probably wouldn’t have wanted to read it.
Can we post nudity if it’s artful or scientific and not pornographic? For example, a statue of Michaelangelo’s David, a picture of Adam and Eve or just a anatomical diagram of a human? I don’t really see how something like that that could be reasonably considered offensive...

Well, it does say pornographic, so I’d say that it’s alright as long as it has reason.

I’d have to agree. Pornographic materials are more for pleasure, ect. Artful things would have a thin line though and you’d probably have people trying to post cartoon porn passing it off as art. >_>

Read the post TR wrote about the rules from another site (many of which I thought were good). I also like your reworking of the current rules.
How would you feel about me helping out with some editing a little later (when it’s not 2 am)? It’s good as is, but simplified a bit more would make sure they get read.
