1. No Flaming: Ex. "yah u r noob" Ex. "WTF?? Stupid.. >.>" This will not be dealt with. Simple like that. For those of you that do not know what flaming is, it's pretty much insulting someone. So, just to be brief, DON'T DO IT! This will not be tolerated. If someone is flaming you, simply don't respond. Just PM a staff member as soon as possible to let them be aware of the situation. And along with that comes the rule...
2. No Baiting: Ex. "You do realize that my character could pwn yours anytime they wanted to.. Your character's digimon is stupid anyways.." Ex. "When morons come onto the internet, they name themselves Yuri.." Oh yeah, these are jerks at their best. They're trying to be smart, smart enough to get you to flame and cause drama. Don't fall into their threats. Now, if anyone does bait, or it looks like a bait, tell a staff member immediately. Now if you bait, boy will you sure regret doing it once we find out you did it.
3. No Drama/Drama Whoring: Ex. A huge flaming argument in the chatbox or on the forum, with two or more people arguing about something. Whether about real life or not, once a staff asks you to stop, you must. Should someone prolong the drama, we will warn them. This is just unacceptable behavior, that of bickering little girls. If a staff member decides to cause drama, they have a chance of being stripped of their position. We can't be the ones breaking the rules, out of the members, and staff. Don't do it, staff or not.
4. No Harassment: Ex. A member sees another member has AIM. They get on their AIM, and continuously flame, harass, and annoy the crap out of the other member. Ex. A member PM's another member and, pretty much, flames them or annoys them continuously after being asked to stop. Intolerable. Simply put; temporary bans are at the ready.
5. No Flooding/Single-Post Threads: Ex. Another member wants to raise their post count so they can quickly get their digimon to the next level. They create a single-post thread, a thread in which they enter and exit, leaving no room for anyone to respond to their post. Afterwards, within the next hour, they create seven other threads like this or more. Ex. A member posts a one-liner in a thread. The other member in the thread posts back with a good post, only to see the first member post another one liner instantly. For one thing, one-liners suck. If you can't put any effort into posting, then don't post. You are definitely not allowed to create a thread in which you enter and exit in the first post. It's simply intolerable and sickens me. Plus, you can't join a thread and leave it in the same post; it's the same thing. Bumping a bunch of dead threads won't do as well. This brings us to the next rule...
6. After Everyone's Exited a Thread, Don't Post In It: Long title.. Well, it's self explanatory. This is so we don't have two month old threads where someone as of now is watching the people walk around and do things in the thread. Ex. Three months ago, everyone that was posting in the thread left it. Three months later, present day, someone posts in it as they watch the events unfold in the thread. Post in it, and you lose 5 posts and get a good warning for not reading this rule!
7. No Adult Content: Hentai. Sex. Lots of gore. This is all a terrible no-no! This is a PG-13 forum. The most we should keep this forum at anyways is PG, but if you're swearing like crazy in a thread or having a heated make out session with another member, we won't tolerate it. Even if it's in PMs. Don't link to adult sites, as well. If you figure you want to do something like this, well then, I might have a sudden urge to pick up my permanent banhammer.
8. No Spamming: Ex. Å®Éñ-ÊÖ»úÁåÉùÏÂÔؼ°¸è´Ê, repeatedly in posts. Oh yes, don't we love the spam? Not going to even try to talk to this member, instant IP ban. DON'T DO THIS!
9. No Double Posting: Ex. A member is in a thread with others, and they continuously post over and over again while the other member has not posted yet. Ex. A member is in a thread by themself and posts over and over again in the thread. The first one will not be tolerated. The second post will be deleted, and they will lose ALL THEIR POSTS COUNT REGARDLESS OF WHY THEY DOUBLE POSTED. Edit your last post! Now, if you're in a closed thread by yourself, sure. Feel free to double post, but make sure the posts are quality posts.. Not quantity posts..
10. No Trolling: Ex. Someone seeks out a loophole in the rules, for instance, that there is no rule against gore, and constantly posts gore in posts. Ex. Someone plots with another member or staffer against the forum. Ex. Someone issues a hack threat. Ex. Someone breaks rules maliciously. Ex. "Azn spammer." Ex. Undermining of staff. Not going to care of any of this. You troll; you get permabanned, IP banned, E-Mail banned, and every ban we can find. Oh yes, you don't want to even think of trolling.
11. No MASSIVE Signatures: 400x200 is probably the maximum size we will allow here. Stretch the forum and you will be calmly told to size down your signature. If you don't fix it within a day of being told to size it down, you will have it removed. Should you continue to stretch the forum with your signatures, you will be disallowed for a certain amount of time to have a signature. Continue this and I'll have to use my temporary ban or permanent ban, most likely.
12. No Canon References: Tai didn't exist, along with his crew. Hey, what's a Dioboromon battle over the net? Exactly. No canons.
13. No One-Liners: Ex. Bob walked over to Yuri. "Hi." Ex. "what do u mean" Only noobs will post these.. Please post one-paragraph posts, that means 3 lines on the forum per paragraph. Please.. Can I say much more than that?
14. Follow and Read the Rules: ...Can I explain this much more than pointing at the title of this rule?
15. No Mary Sues: Ex. Jill is the sexiest, smartest, most powerful, and the best character in the roleplay ever. Everyone loves her. She can control time and space. Ex. Bob has the ability to kill someone by staring at them and blinking his eyes. Mary Sues are characters that happen to be incredibly powerful or popular in some way that makes them stand out from the crowd in incredible power, brains, or any sort of way that makes them more powerful. A simple way of being a Mary Sue is being the smartest kid in your class who comes from the richest family in Japan. Please don't do this, it's really annoying. But that doesn't mean your character can't be the smartest kid in your class or something. Just don't go overboard with it.
16. Guilmon and Anubismon are not a good pairing: Ex. Bob says that he needs to find the secret words, and someone says that he needs to find them himself. He sees the rule 16a and realizes, he found them. But he still needs to read the rest of them. It's over 9000.
17. One Digimon: Ex. Bob goes and makes a profile, having an Agumon, Gabumon, Patamon, Biyomon, Gomamon, Palmon, Gatomon, and Tentomon so that he can have them all DNA into Kimeramon and rule the world. Please, just for fairness' sake, keep it at one digimon. If someone decided that they wanted one digimon and other people shredded them apart because they had three, then that wouldn't be fair now, would it?
18. Roleplay Threads: Ex. Bob makes a thread per board and RP's in every one. You may be in as many roleplay threads as you please, but remember that they happen in chronological order starting with the first thread joined.
Disciplines:
Warning 1: 33%: Breaking a simple rule, this is the most common of the disciplines. After one week, this will usually go away, depending on how serious the breaking of the rule was. Oh, don't think that you can break a rule, wait out the time, and break a rule again and only get a 33% again. You'll get a 66% then. But eventually you can gain your trust back again as for not breaking rules.
Warning 2: 66%: The member simply ignores all common sense and is compelled to break a rule again! These people are starting to get on my nerves.. They get a 66% warning, and it takes 2 or more weeks for it to go away.
Warning 3: 99%: They break yet another rule! Now I'm totally angry at them, they get a 99% warning that won't go away for a month or longer.
Temporary Ban: That's it. They either broke a core rule, or they went past the three rules they already broke and decided to break another one. So, they're temporarily banned from the site from a week or more.
Permanent Ban: The member hasn't learned their lesson, or they broke a rule that simply shouldn't be broken. Simple; goodbye from the site forever. We no longer welcome them there after this has been passed. HOWEVER, the only exception is when someone doesn't show up for an activity check and is banned. They're still welcome.
