Transforum Rules
These are the TFM Rules. If you don't follow them, you could be suspended, banned, or even have your account deleted! Make sure you check back whenever these Rules are updated. Failure to follow these rules could result in a ban, suspension, or account deletion!
1. Use your best spelling/grammar. If you don't, we won't be able to understand you! The language we use here at TFM is English. Use your best English, please. n00bsp3ak [Noobspeak, the "language" noobs (NOT newbs) speak] and bad grammar is permitted, but make sure it's understandable or it will be considered SPAM.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 15%
2. NO SPAM. SPAM stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Don't use a billion smilies in a row. No pointless posts either. If you post lots of SPAM, it will be deleted and you will be given a warning!
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 30%. If you keep this up, you may be suspended/banned/deleted!
3. Be nice to other members. What we don't need is a flame war. If you have something to say, and it isn't very nice, unless the person specifically asks you to say it, don't. And if you play, say, a villain in an RP, and people start flaming you outside of the RP, let a Moderator know. Don't start flaming people. We'll take care of it.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 5 - 40%
4. Don't ask to be Staff. The more you ask to be Staff, the less likely we are to make you a Staff member. Staff members will be chosen if we feel they are worthy.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 5 - 15%
5. Only post your threads in the appropriate boards. If you don't, a moderator will move the thread. Also, if you are unsure about where to post the thread, PM a Moderator.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 0 - 5%
6. If you have a suggestion for a new category or board, or anything else, such as an RPG idea, either post it in the Help Board, or else PM an administrator. A regular member can't do anything about the suggestions, except agree with you or disagree.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 0 - 1%
7. Don't ask about banned members. They're banned for a reason. It's okay to talk to banned members after their ban expires, but don't talk to the perma-banned people.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 5 - 50%
8. Don't swear excessively. That's right; if you post too many swear words or too often, it's considered SPAM. It can also be considered flaming.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 20 - 100%
9. Don't double post. The only exceptions are if your posts are at least 24 hours away from each other, are posting updates to your art/story thread, or you need more character space (up to 3 extra posts, unless you have permission to post more than that).
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 30%
10. Don't bump up old/dead threads. They die for a reason. A thread is considered an old/dead thread if it is either not one of the first 20 threads listed (one page), or it has been locked for some reason and isn't stickied, or it hasn't been posted in for around 5+ months. If a thread you want to post in is old/dead, ask a Mod to bump it up for you. A thread ISN'T old/dead if it is stickied. Stickied threads can always be posted in, unless they are locked, or a Mod says otherwise.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 1 - 30%
11. No mature content! Kids come on these forums, too. We don't want to post mature content, swear excessively, or anything similar.
If you don't follow this rule, you may be warned 50 - 100%, or be suspended/banned/deleted!
12. Have fun! The most important rule of all. If you don't have fun, you might as well not have joined TFM at all.
No, we won't warn/suspend/ban/delete you for not following this rule. ;3
