Forum rules

[Belle]

I. Be respectful
No flaming, harassment, bullying, public or private personal attacks, or inflammatory posts just to get people riled up. Don't expect everyone to assume you're joking when making potentially offensive remarks.
[+] If you have a problem with the behavior of another member, instead of lashing out in the forums, please contact a moderator to have it resolved in private.
[+] If it is evident that your general behavior is to be disruptive in nature, then you will be warned and/or banned. This includes (but is not limited to) constant instigation of arguments among/between other members, persistent expression of negative sentiments towards the forums, etc.
[+] This also includes unnecessary swearing.

II. No offensive, discriminatory or illegal content
Racial slurs, pornography, illegal firearms, hacking tools, drugs, or anything that is illegal or offensive, is strictly prohibited!


III. No spamming or advertisements
Please refrain from spamming and advertising in our forums.

[+] Spamming: Topics such as, "I have a cat", or double posting, off-topic, or short posts like "ok", or "lol" are pointless and thus unneeded. Unless there are dedicated forums for this.
[+] Advertisements: E.g, "Look at my site", or "please buy". Any form for website, service/sales, or donation requests are considered advertisements. However, you are allowed you post your favorite/personal website(s) in your signature, as long as you keep the font size to default or smaller.

IV. No direct links to downloads of copyrighted material
You may share general links to other resources/websites. But directly leading someone to a copyrighted file is forbidden.
(If in doubt, please contact a Moderator about your content before posting.)


V. Do not create duplicate accounts
Please refrain from creating multiple accounts, if you are caught creating several accounts, your alternatives will be banned, and a potential ban will be issued to your main.


VI. Obey forum specific rules
Some forums have their own written rules, please follow them alongside the general forum rules.


VII. If you choose to post in a foreign language, you must provide English translations


VIII. Respect the forum management
The junior masters are here to help, anything they say is final, so respect their decisions. If you should encounter a problem with one of our staff, then notify that person, and/or an administrator.
