Avatars & Signatures
* Animated avatars may be deleted depending on if they slow the page view down. Sorry.

* For images in signatures: 1 image up to 400 pixels wide, 200 pixels tall and 25k in size
* Animated images in a signature may be deleted depending on if they slow the page view down. Sorry.
Images
What is acceptable??. If you THINK that it will not be acceptable then don't post it.
* Moderators (and Moderators alone!!) will decide if the posted image is suitable for the forum.
* Do NOT "Quote" posts that have bad images or martial in them, posters who copy the the post will receive warnings. 3 warnings = BAD.
* Any member caught encouraging persons spamming inappropriate images will be warned/banned, no questions asked.
Quoting
Please follow these rules on quoting. , Unnecessary quoting results in making a thread difficult to read and takes up unnecessary database space.
Quotes.
*. Quoting of bannable material is now bannable...
Please don't quote things that are bannable. You may not have made the offending post, but quoting it is just as bad.
* When using the quote button, please try quote the bit that you are actually replying to rather than posting the entire quote conversation over and over again.
* Do not post just a quote. this will result in that post being deleted and you will be warned.
* There's normally no need to quote the person directly above you unless it's a particularly long post and you want to pick apart certain points raised and reply to them sequentially.
Advertising Services and Solicitation
We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products, services, funds or donations. Explicit advertising and solicitating in signatures is also prohibited.
People pay to advertise here. What makes you think you can do it for free? Do not register if all you are here for is to generate traffic for your site. We will remove without explanation any links we deem to be advertising. You are welcome to link in your signature and Homepage field on your profile.
Copyright
Respect copyrighted material, and only post it with the author's express permission. Discussing 'warez', pirated material, serial numbers or any such copyright infringing activity, will result in an immediate removal of the material and potential action against the account of the offending member.
General Behaviour
We strive for a pleasant environment between users. Friendly banter and some light-hearted taunting in case of tournaments / challenges between users are acceptable, but please mind your typing - if what you are posting isn't something you'd say to someone you met on the street, don't post it here.
Players already have a terrible behavioural reputation in online gaming; please don't extend the behaviour onto these forums. This includes stuff like 'my country is better than yours', flaming, and racism. Do not flame excessively, or you will be banned. Keep the language clean; excessive swearing only intensifies the hostility.
