FORUM RULES

1. No spam. Spammers will be banned. Repeat spammers will be permanently removed. We consider spam to be;

1.1. Any off-topic blathering injected into a topic-oriented conversation, or any attempt to divert a conversation onto something trivial or pointless.

1.2. Any blatant self-promotion, such as "bumping", double-posting, the creation of self-reverential threads, or any post by which you intend to announce your awesomeness, which, by the way, does not exist.

1.3. Any incomprehensible gibberish, wherein, when a moderator reads your post, they are unable to interpret what you are saying, or why you are saying it.

1.4. Any links to external sites that do not attempt to back up or prove some statement or argument. The exception to this is links in signatures, which are allowed to take us anywhere.

1.5. Any images in posts, or signatures, which are offensive, immoral, or just freaking huge, and get in our way. Also any images that you post without attempting to prove anything by them.

1.6. Anything not mentioned above, which we deem in some way to state; "I am an idiot, please ban me".

2. No flaming. The definition of flaming is very loose here. You may tell other members that you disagree with them. You may argue at great length, providing that the argument makes some sense and isn't overburdened with opinionated ideas, and you may also demean and taunt other members. You may tell them that they are stupid losers, and they suck at life. We won't care. We might agree with you. What you may not do is;

2.1. Use any racial or sexual slurs.

2.2. Threaten them with any genuine real-life harm.

2.3. Attempt to hack their accounts, suck up to moderators to have them banned, or anything else that is just lowly, pathetic and weak. Weakness will not be tolerated.

2.4. Attack unprovoked. Do not come here carrying any grudges, or we will have to eviscerate you of them.

3. No l33t. Not at all. You do not have to capitalize sentences, or even use punctuation, but if we see any numbers at all, you're banned. We really hate l33t.

3.1. Abbreviations are fine. You can say BTW or LOL, but no chains of idiotically abbreviated speech that hardly resembles English. Again, you will be banned.

3.2. No other languages, or terribly broken English. We speak English here, for the simple sake of convenience, and if you don't, and you have some friends, maybe we'll start a foreign branch, but if you try to speak English and just completely fail, you guessed it. El Banno.
