Fire Emblem Online Forums Rules

Non Ruley Rules

These rules are general forum usage rules, however may not need to be enforced unless the admin/mod sees fit.

TPYENIG LKIE TIHS

Makes your post extremley diffilcult to read and gives us a headache, so type in proper english please?

Typing in Caps

This is the online equivalent of SHOUTING, if you need to emphasize something use the bold tags.

Search First

Before starting a topic, make sure the topic has not already been done by using the search tool. Your topic may have already been made, or your questions already answered. Also there is a website, check there to see if we already have the information.

Rules of Doom

These are the important rules, warnings may be issued, or bans if necessary.

Flaming

Big no-no, flaming other members may result in an instant ban, also includes members who join just to Troll.

SPAM

Not the meat kind either, these are pointless posts that do not contribute to the forum at all, if you have nothing constructive to say, then don't say it, also try to include more than one word per post unless it's absolutely unavoidable.

Advertising

Advertising your site will result in either your topic being locked or deleted. If you wish to advertise your site, place a link in your Sig and profile field.

Double Posting

Posting twice in a row is not allowed; use the edit button if you wish to add to your post. Double posting is allowed ONLY if your are bumping a topic that hasn't been posted in for 24 hrs.

Profanity

Swearing is not allowed in posts, word censors will be placed, do not try to get around them as your post may be deleted. This rule will change once we upgrade to phpBB3.

Content of Posts and Attachments

Must not include hate/racism/SPAM/ROM requests, any posts containing any of these may be edited/locked/deleted by a Admin/Mod. The Attachment function are used to upload images or other media onto the forums, these must not contain hentai or pornography, and will be deleted, as well as a ban for whoever uploads them.

Private messages

The PM function is there to enhance your experience of using this board, abuse of this system may result in the removal of this function, and/or a banning. Be warned Admins CAN read all PMs sent.

NecroPosting

That's posting in old threads that have died out, generally old posts are posts that are on the second page or higher,also if the topic has been answered then don't post in it. Stickied posts and Announcements are the sole exceptions.

Reporting Posts and Back Seat Moderating

If you find a post that has broken any one the rules use the report post function to write up a report explaining what rules you think have ben broken. Backseat moderating is posting saying: "hey, you've broken a rule", although you are trying to help, you are also breaking a rule by posting, PM an Admin/Mod instead to really be helpful.
