These are the (shudder) rules for the site. Although some of them are set in stone, I encourage mods to use their own discretion in when to be lenient.
Flaming: Flaming will not be tolerated. Sure, we can poke fun at each other in a humorous, good-natured manner -- but if it turns serious, it will be dealt with harshly.
Spamming: Spamming includes, but is not limited to: posting an advertisement -- for anything, even your own site -- without permission; posting twice in the same thread without waiting for someone else to post in between (double posting); making posts that are only a couple of words long or have only smileys in them; posting the same image over and over; and making an inordinately large amount of posts in a very short time period (machine gun posting). None of these are allowed. At all.
Trolling: Trolling is making offensive or derogatory posts with the sole intention of pissing people off and drawing negative attention (usually in the form of flames) to oneself. This practice will not be tolerated: Attention whores are not welcome here.
Swearing: Currently, there is no censorship of text on the site. You can swear all you kriffing want. Just don't post any porn or anything like that, because that'll get the site shut down.
Also, rules for images are stricter than for text -- for example, you can get away with a lot more in terms of graphic violence or sexuality in, say, an RPG as opposed to a sig or avatar pic.
