New threads:
Use common sense when starting a new thread, please take a moment or two to see if a similar thread is currently up, and if so, please post within that thread. Do not have 14 posts all about the same subject when you could easily keep everything in one place.
If the moderation team sees multiple threads, they will be condensed into one section for the sake of space and clarity.
Posting:
Please be careful when quoting another member's post. If you can just clip the relevant parts of the speech, that will be a good idea. Once again, it is for the sake of relevance, space and clarity.
If you have SPOILERS to a book, TV series, movie, comic, video game, etc., please POST A SPOILER WARNING in the thread and/or do not give away important information within the thread title post.
Not everyone has seen every bit of pop culture out there so use some restraint in your spoiler postings.
Avatars:
Maximum of 120 x 120, and 25KB for an image if absolutely necessary.
SPAM:
We have no problem if a fellow creator here has a link to post for their projects that they wish to sell.
However, reckless and unwarranted posting of links to commercial sites or spam-bot style generators will result in the immediate banning of that offending member, and if it continues, will result in a lifetime ban.
Be careful of what you post here. Use common sense, and unless you have something to sell personally, then don't post links for the sake of posting commercial links.
Content:
Keep it clean! The visitors to this site will be anywhere from 12-65 years of age and we want the Shadowlaw boards to be a place where people can feel comfortable sharing their opinions and be able to browse the boards safely at any time of day and anywhere at all.
Therefore, we want the site to stay PG-rated in terms of LANGUAGE, PICTURES, LINKS & POSTS. Do not post pornographic links, do not post links to a site with foul language, do not post links to sites that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or in any way offensive to a person's religious or national background.
Any poster who breaks this rule will be given ONE WRITTEN WARNING, a second offense to this rule will be the final one and the offending poster will be banned for life.
If you are confused or concerned that a site might be considered offensive, then you might want to think twice about posting the link to that site.
Language:
Along the same line of thought, keep your language appropriate to that of a Thanksgiving dinner at your boyfriend's/girlfriend's house, meeting their family for the first time. Chances are you wouldn't curse, make racist comments, or be generally offensive. Please don't do that here.
Privacy:
Do not post any information about a person's private life on this board. Chat logs, other message board conversations, and similar media are not allowed here. Keep your personal situations off this board. We will not share anyone's information under any circumstances and we do not believe in posting anyone's private information on this board.
Your info is safe here.
No Multiple Accounts:
To prevent abuse and SPAM, please register only ONE ACCOUNT to your name. If anyone is caught using multiple accounts by the moderators, all accounts registered to that poster will be immediately locked and deleted forever.
MODERATOR WARNINGS:
Depending on the scale and frequency of rulebreaking, a Mod will most likely ask you to relax once or twice before taking action. Generally, if someone breaks a rule as an honest mistake, then no action will be taken other than a casual warning.
However, if a person repeatedly defies Moderator warnings, they will be banned for a short period not to last longer than 1 MONTH, but repeated violations will result in a lifetime ban.
