Rule 01
Do not post images or links containing offensive content.
Offensive content is largely relative to the area you live in. However, this forum will consider pornography, hate, death, and mutilation offensive.
Moderators will use their discretion in deciding what needs to be removed.

Rule 03
Do not spam.
Spam is ...
... a post with the same phrase copied and pasted multiple times. ... posting in all caps. ... the same post posted multiple times. ... the same topic posted multiple times. ... bumping a topic more than once in less than a day. ... a post completely unrelated to the topic it was posted in. ... a topic created solely to boost post counts. ... a topic about "anything". ... quote pyramids.
Spam will be removed. Any replies to spam will be removed.
Moderators will use their discretion in deciding what is spam.

Rule 05
Do not delete a topic you created when other people have posted in it. (If you have permission to do so)
Other members spend their precious time typing out replies to your topics. Deleting these topics tells those members that their time was worthless and they may stop replying to other topics you create.
Once your topic has replies, it no longer solely belongs to you. It belongs to the entire forum. Let the moderators decide whether a topic needs to be deleted or not.

Rule 06
Do not delete a topic that has been closed by a moderator and repost that topic.
A moderator closed the topic instead of deleting it for a reason.
In some cases a moderator will state that a new topic about the same subject may be created. This does not mean the closed topic can be deleted.
A topic will be closed once it reaches 1500 posts. A topic closed in this way may be recreated unless a moderator states otherwise.
