Right, time I set some rules, because all forums are different.

~ Treat others as you expect to be treated.

~ Do not flame, we're here to relax and have fun.

~ Never share your passwords with anyone else, be it your entry password, or passwords to any locked forums.

~ Do not register trolls. I can see all your IP addresses and have a "member tool" out the back which can track any of these to previously registered members.

~ Only post suitable content for the forum in which you post it.

~ Post at every opportunity . You can double post, make one word posts, and post nonsense in the appropriate forum, just post .

~ The Bone to Pick forum is the place to have a legitimate go at someone, not flame. Don't do it anywhere else, and again, don't flame.

~ Do not post content which may be harmful or "attach itself" to someone's computer. This includes adware, spyware, and viruses.

~ Treat the moderating team as you would anyone else (again, NO FLAMING).

~ Do not be rude to noobs. We were all noobs once, and the more happy posters we have, the better. Hazing is not acceptable here. Everyone's welcome.

~ Use whatever tools you have here to your advantage. Read the pinned topics in this forum to enable you to make the most of your experience here. Some things aren't at first apparent.

~ The pm system is not for intimidating or harrassing other members. You may be warned, your pm rights may be suspended, and you may be banned.

~ Advertise your site as much as you like, in the appropriate forum. You don't need a minimum post count for this. You may put your url in your sig, or some other promotional graphic from the moment you join. Hotlinking is not a problem.

~ Mindless intolerance based on race, creed, social situation, religion, gender, appearance or sexual preference will not be tolerated.

~ Respect other people's opinions. They may not be your own and you're free to express a differing opinion, but do not ridicule other people's beliefs. Experience of other people's diversity will provide you with an invaluable social tool.

~ Be yourself.

Go forth and post!
