#1: Please post your replies/topics in the correct forums. We don't want to see contest-related questions, etc. outside of the Q&A forum, things of that nature. I don't think this one is too hard for you all, but just so it's been said. ^_^v

#2: Please try to keep language clean. Not all of our contestants/members may want to hear every four-letter word you know. Damn and Hell I can deal with, but let's try to keep "the f word" and "bitch" to a minimum. Bish, Eff, and things of that nature that substitute it, I can handle. Vee might have a different opinion. So in general, let's keep it at like a PG level here folks, ok?

#3: If you can't play nice, go home. This is a place to have fun. We're not trying to see who's the best of the best, the competition will have many winners. Don't go trying to hurt people's feelings or just being rude and not-fun. We're all nice people, I think we can handle it.
Oh, and this rule also means NO racist, homophobic, anti-religion/belief, xenophobic, etc. comments. NONE. We just won't tolerate it and you'll only be asked once.

#4: If someone is making you mad, ask them to stop. If they don't, report them to one of the mods and we'll decide what to do about it. We don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable here.

#5: Please use clear English, to the best of your ability. We realize that there may be people here that are from foreign countries and English is their second language. That's perfectly fine, don't feel pressured to have absolutely perfect grammar at all times. We all mess up. HOWEVER, please don't butcher the English language. By butchering I mean posts FILLED (note the filled. Lol once in a post is ok.) with things like : plz, omg, thx, u r so dum" things like that. Note once more that the occasional AOL-speak-ism is ok. I don't care if someone says something funny and you reply with "hahha lol" That's fine. But please, don't use it in every other sentence like "haha lol omg wtf was that? u r liek so not gud." This grates my nerves and the nerves of those around you. It's not cute, and it's not tolerated here. ^_^; Same goes for leet speak (ph34r, 1337, etc.).
Oh and also, we might break these rules alot @ the randomness forum, but try not to TYPE IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING, OKAY? Okay!
Just save us all the trouble of trying to decipher what you mean and say it clearly, ok?

#6: HAVE FUN. Be nice, make friends, have a grand ol' time! HAVE FUN HERE! That's what it's FOR! :D

The above rules apply for every forum, but it seemed most appropriate to place them here. Any questions, comments, rule-change-suggestions, etc. should be either PMed to Makky or Vee. ^_^ Thanks!
