Don't spam. Spamming is defined as anything that does not contribute to the thread or the discussion. This forum is NOT a chat room, please do not use it like one. Take the time to think out your post and make sure you're spelling stuff right (or to the best of your ability). Before you post ask yourself "Is what I'm posting contributing to the discussion?". If the answer is NO, then don't make that post. If you find that your wonderful thread/post has been deleted, DO NOT REPOST IT. It was deleted for a reason.
No swearing or cussing in your posts. This goes for abbreviations that have bad words in them as well.
Don't double-post. "Double posting" is posting two or more times in a row. If you want to add onto your post, click on the EDIT button (
) and it will let you add more information into your post. If your computer connection messes up and you somehow post the exact same thing twice, do not worry, just edit out your second post and a Moderator will clean it up. But, if you post after 24 hours and it contributes to the thread, you will not be given an infraction.
No adult material on the forums please. Not only does this include pornography and other offensive "shock pictures" but it also includes talking about explicit things such as drug use and sex. Assume that what you post will be seen by all ages.
Please do not advertise. Don't make threads about your fantastic website/forum which isn't about chobots. You can put a link to it in your signature instead or in the "Website" part of your profile.
Don't be rude to other users. Be nice to other posters, if you see someone new, rather than make fun of him/her, why don't you offer to help them out and show them how the forums work? Also, please do not attack the Moderators. The Moderators have a hard enough time dealing with all of the activity here on the forums, don't make it worse by making them feel bad. They are people too. We also understand that English is not everyone's first language and that some people naturally have a hard time reading and writing. If you see someone doing their best to be a good poster, we ask that you do not be rude to them.
Don't post in hard to read colors. We know it's cool to style your posts, but there are some kinds of text that are very hard to read. Posting entirely in colors such as yellow, white, is very abrasive to some people's eyes and you will be asked to stop. This also goes for fancy scripts that let you post in rainbow colors and other shades. Don't do it.
Do not post "for" banned users. Banned users are banned for a reason, we do not want them posting here. Posting FOR them is the same thing as letting them have your account.
Do not put anything offensive in your profile.
"How can I be a Moderator?" :Please do not ask staff members if you can be a Moderator. We are always looking at who is helpful and knows a lot about where they are posting, so in a way we are "always" looking for new Moderators. If we think you'd make a great addition to our team we will contact you, not the other way around.
"I was banned! Now I can never be a Moderator!" :People make mistakes. Would you believe it if I told you I've been banned before here? Really? How about TWICE. You can always make a comeback if you learn from mistakes. Anyone can be a good user.
Don't use only emoticons! Try to write interesting posts!
