FORUM RULES
1. Do NOT swear. Anyone found using symbols to avoid the filter will be banned.
2. Do NOT post messages or images that are unsuitable for children.
3. Offensive messages or images will NOT be tolerated on these forums. Do not post them.
4. Do NOT double, triple, or post more than once in a row in a topic, unless you have a special reason.
5. a) Do NOT add an image to your signature. Image signatures take up too much space; and are generally disliked. [seasonal permission for image signatures is sometimes granted, you should check stickied threads, or contact a moderator for information].
b) Video signatures are also forbidden for the same previously stated reasons. (Using the [youtube] tags)
c) Avatars/display-pictures should be of a sensible and modest file-size.

7. We strongly recommend that you don't arrange to meet up with other forum members which you don't know, and don't allow discussions about this topic on the forum.
8. You are ONLY permitted ONE (1) account. If you create another account (without explicit permission from an admin) and break any rules from that account we will punish both accounts.
9. Making a post entirely in CAPITALS is seen as shouting so please try to only type in lower case and use the bold and italic tags to emphasise something.
10. Do NOT use txt spk.
11. Necroposting; the act of resurfacing a topic which has not been posted in for a very long time. It is only frowned upon if the post you make does not add anything new to the topic, in which case it is classed as spam.
12. Be nice.
13. Bullying of another member will NOT be tolerated on these forums.
14. No Racism. This is a world wide forum. Anyone found be racist will be banned for life.
15. Please do not use "@" or "^", we have a quote system for a reason. The admins can remove it if you want.
