The following are a set of rules or guidelines that every member of The Spirit World community should follow.

SPAM
SPAM is your basic internet term for 'random crap'. In other words, if you make a post that makes no valid point, or is irrelevant to the topic it is being posted in, a staff member has the right to delete the post. Depending upon how drastic the spam was, or how often the member had spammed, a staff member also has the right to give you one warning point.

Some examples of SPAM are 'Yusuke sux' or 'hiei liek rulez'. A one-word post can generally be seen as SPAM. For instance, if you are posting in someone's graphics topic, please do not reply with 'cool' or 'nice'. It would be appreciated if you could even attempt to expand upon your post, elaborate a little, etc.

There is a SPAM section which was arranged due to the fact that everyone loves to spam. Though it is fun sometimes, it makes the board look unprofessional, but even more, it makes you look like an ass.

Flaming & Trolling
Flaming is another internet term meaning cruel or abusive behavior towards another member. AND BEING GAY. Listen to your mothers and treat others with the respect you'd like to receive in return. Flaming can apply to a post in a topic, a PM, or even an IM conversation. We'd like The Spirit World to be a fun community with members who get along with each other. Flaming will result in a warning point, depending upon the severity of it.

Trolling is similar to flaming, but it's the act of purposely starting a fight with someone, or an attempt to get someone to flame you. Like I said in the explanation above, The Spirit World is a fun community, we don't want a few of you arguing with someone you've never seen!!

Illegal Acts
Yes, there are actually illegal acts you can commit on a webforum. Please do not ask for a download link for Yu Yu Hakusho episodes, a ROM link for the videogames, or a link to some Kayko nude pics you heard about. It's great that you have a hentai fetish, but it'll get the board shut down, which wouldn't be good.

Warning System
If you do not act accordingly, you will receive a warning point. Once a member receives 5 warning points, their account shall be banned. Warning points may be removed with good behavior. Some acts will earn you more than 1 warning points, and some acts may even get you banned immediately. That's why it is important just to follow the rules. If you ask yourself "do you think I'll be banned for this?" DO NOT DO IT.
