All Members Read This! - Rules And Such

Welcome to Portrayals! We are a very kind community with much to offer. We dabble in many things, such as spriting, drawing, writing, Nintendo, Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokemon, and more.
If you would like to affiliate with us, simply put this code into your affilate section:

Now, before you post, you need to know our rules:

• No Swearing on public threads
• Flaming and trolling isn't tolerated
• No abusing the smilies
• Posts must be related to the thread topic unless you're posting in the spam forum
• All posts contain a complete sentence, or anything relevant to the topic. For example, maybe a picture. No one word posts followed by 3 or 4 smilies
• Make an effort to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation to the best of your ability
• This rule kind of goes along with the one before this, but reframe from using leet speak or chat speak. Also, terms like n00b are fairly stupid to use and is considered leet speak.
• Do not abuse the PM system, or anyone with the PM system
• No double posting unless you are bumping a topic or are role-playing. If you feel you have a good reason to double-post, you probably can.
• Instead of double-posting to add an idea to a previous post you just posted, edit the first post!
• Don't revive a dead topic, unless you have very good reason to revive it. This is called bumping, which you can only do with good reason
• Posting any inappropriate images (Such as pornography will be instantly warned. Next time it's a suspension. Finally, a ban.
• Staff members: Do not abuse your staff privileges. This means don't warn everyone for little or no reason, don't close topics unless they need to be, don't open closed topics just to post once, Don't edit other people's posts without a just reason to, etc.
• Signatures may not be too long. Please limit images in signatures to 250 x 250.

If I missed something, please PM me, don't post about it.


Failure to comply to these rules to the best of your ability multiple times will result in a warning.

Forum terms you should be aware of:

• Post: This is a post
• Thread/Topic: This post is in a thread/topic
• PM: Personal Message. PM's can be sent to other members so you can have a private conversation
• Role-playing: Role-playing is like being in an alternate world. Anything can happen in these forums/threads if you can think it. Look at the role-playing category to learn more
• BUMP: Stands for "bring up my post". Bumping is when someone revives a dead topic to attract attention to it. This is usually against the rules unless you have good reason to do it.

Please help out with this list.

Shouldn't Hero make the rulers

No, these are fine.

Everyone is making the rules. Note I said if I missed anything, PM me, and I'll add it.

It doesn't matter which admin makes them, just as long as they're valid...

Does that include Chrome and I?

Well, you two are admins now, so of course.

Hey!The smilies are there to abuse!

You're lucky I can't warn a fellow admin...

First of all, close the topic. That way, regular members can't post in it. Second of all...

Just because they are there, doesn't mean you have to go and post "spam." Read Rule #3: No abusing the smilies. Y'know, if you tick off MFO too much, he might just demote you to say...the regular members group. And Hero couldn't do anything about it, because the evidence against you is right there in front of his nose.

What's that from stopping you from publicly humiliating him(I assume you are a he, VCW)? I mean, you are pretty much the only active root admin, and Chrome is also been on here longer than VCW, so why not step up?

(This might be considered in violation of Rule #2: Flaming or trolling isn't tolerated. I am aware of that. Thank you for letting me know.)

No, Lego, that's not flaming, that's just logic. But what he did was a violation of rule 3. I'm giving you a verbal warning, VCW since I can't give you an official one. You're on thin ice. I can demote you if I feel the need. I'm closing this now, don't you dare open it just to post again. That's violating a rule as well.

I apologize profusely, but I think villain felt the need to change the rules, and I'm just updating to say that they are changed back.
