| Subject: Fantage Forum Rules & Guidelines Mon Jan 25, 2010 7:11 pm | |
| Personal Information Please do not post your full name, address, phone number, etc on the Fantage Forum. We try to keep the forums safe for all users.
Spam We do not allow spam here. SPAM stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Spamming is anything thats pointless or off-topic. This rule includes many sub-rules. All posts must be at least three words in length. If your post is not longer than three words, then you risk a warning. All topic titles must relate to the topic. For instance, do not name your topic "fantage pics" and have a video about you skiing. The title must relate to what the topic is about. Deleting your post and then re-posting it is not allowed. This is spam and there is an edit button if you need it.
Bumping Bumping is when one posts in a topic that has not been posted in for two weeks or more. Please do not bump. The only exceptions are for those who have an art gallery and have added new pictures to it or the topic is a sticky topic.
Attitudes & Trolling Trolling is not allowed. That is spamming and annoying people on the chat and/or in posts.
Advertising You only can advertise other forums and blogs in your signature. Sites like youtube, fantage forum, tinychat, etc are allowed. Do not spam links through posts, chat, or private messages. This is a serious rule and will be taken seriously.
Double/Triple Posting Double or Triple Posting is not allowed. That is when you post two or three times in a row. We have an edit button for a reason, please use it. If you accidently post twice in a row, a moderator will delete the post.
Inappropriate Pictures & Language You may not post inappropriate pictures or language. We have kids here, so that means we don't want bad images or cussing/swearing.
Back-Seat Moderating Backseat moderating is trying to enforce the rules when you are not an administrator or moderator. Example : User 1 : Hey Guys User 1 : What's up? User 2 : Don't double post. It's against the rules.
Multiple Accounts We do not allow Multiple Accounts here at the Fantage Forum. Brothers & sisters can have different accounts, but other than that users may only have one account. If a user is found with multiple accounts, all the accounts will be banned.
Avatar / Signature Limits Avatars and signatures must not stretch the page in any way. Signatures may only have one or two images that aren't very tall. 300 px is about the max that a signature should be, otherwise use a spoiler.
Username Changes Usernames can be changed by clicking the profile link in the navigation bar. They can be changed whenever, but we suggest no more than once a month. If you change your name too often, action will be taken. Please also put your old username in your signature so everyone knows who you are!
Popularity The Fantage Forum is not about popularity. No topics about users saying how cool they are or how un-cool they are. Posting is not everything.
Threads Towards One User Threads about or toward one user are not allowed here. We have a private message system for this reason.
Goodbye & Leaving Topics Do not post a topic about you leaving or taking a break from the forum. There is a sticky topic in the introductions forum for this purpose.
Meet-up Topics Meet-up topics just create a mess in the forum sections, so use the one provided. We have a mega-topic for them all in the off-topic section.
Hacking Discussion Hacking Discussion is not allowed here, as hacking is bad and we don't want discussion on hacking the game the forum is about.
Piracy Discussing free downloading of paid products such as photoshop or games is not allowed. This also goes for discussing free music downloads.
Free Accounts / E-coins / Stars Almost all of this is a scam, and it is against the terms of service of Fantage. This discussion is banned and you will receive a warning for posting this.
Chatbox Rules All of the above rules do apply in the chatbox, but the chatbox is a bit more laid back. Do not spam or abuse the chat or you will be chatbox banned.
Warning System The warning system is the colored bar on your profile. If you break a rule, it will go down. If you are good for a good period of time, your warning bar will go back up.
