Board Guidelines (Updated 9/15/06)
Obviously, to keep some sort of conduct in this place, we're gonna need to lay down some rules. That being said, here you are:
Firstly,
- If you join, join for a reason. We appreciate you joining, but we want members that are actually here to stay. We don't mean you have to stay forever, but come to be part of the community. Unused, uncared-for accounts that have literally little to no posts but have been taking up space for months and months will be investigated and deleted.
- Do not register with a racial/indecent/crude/improper forum username.
Examples: Stewie F**ker, KKK Master, Family Guy Sucks, I love whores, etc. This will result in account deletion. Don't do it.
Secondly,
- Have/make decent posts AND topics. We prefer to see, "Yeah, Family Guy's cool cause Peter always...", rather than, "w00t, tat is hizzy!!!11!!!!!". While there are exceptions, most of the time, we want to see neat, clean posts. With meaning. Members found to be continually breaking this rule will be investigated and warned, accordingly.
- Write in English. Seeing as the majority of the users are English, and seeing as English is the language of the staff, everything must be written in plain English. This excludes things like signature design, quotes, etc. Posts not written in English will be told to be handled. If not handled accordingly, post(s) will be deleted. Furthermore, intentional posting of posts in languages other than English, with the intent to spam or otherwise will result in account warnings.
- No excessive/crude/lewd language. You're allowed to express yourself, but don't tell us that you intend to bang your wife. And keep the F-word out of it. Oh, and the N-word. Now, once again, realize, you may use any other word as you please, but keep it as POLITICALLY CORRECT as possible. You know what that means - in other words, don't tell me how you'd like to obliterate all gay men from God's good earth. Simple. Inappropriate language will be removed, with the user warned.
- Post in the proper forum. Do not post topics on pizza in the Your Thoughts forum. Posts in innapropriate forums will be moved.
- As you may know, NO SPAM! We don't want to see, "yea thats sweet now check out my site at...", or, "hahahah, l33t man i love family guy 83md90dj83hf!". None. The ONLY exception is for the Spam! forum, which can be found in the Chit-Chat forum. Purposeful SPAM will be deleted, the user investigated, and banned. Unintentional/accidental SPAM will be looked down upon, with warning given.
- No inappropriate content. This includes pornographic images, links to bad/inhumane websites, warez, etc. Depending on the situation, this could result in anywhere from warnings to banned accounts.
In regards to your profile,
- Nothing TOO inappropiate. Do not edit your custom member title to, "D**k licker!". Do not upload an avatar of cows humping. I think you can work with the idea. Problems found with profiles will be PMed to the user concerned, and if not handled, will be bypassed and CONTENT changed/deleted.
And about your signature...!
- The maximum size for signatures is 600x200; the maximum image size is 75KB. Considering the fact that we are being pretty lenient, there should be no problems. Sigs breaking this rule will be edited/condensed to fit into the criteria.
Lastly,
- Freakin' enjoy yourself, dammit! This isn't a forum about Family Guy for nothing! Have fun, be merry, or whatever, shit! If you're bored, tell someone - give suggestions on how to have a funner board, something. Users found in apathy will be kicked in the shins.
Thanks, and get posting!
