Just follow these rules, and make sure to have fun. These rules are easy and not strict at all.

1. No Spam! [Spam is basically pointless and it claugs up the boards.]

2. Don't go off-topic.. [It does get annoying..]

3. No one worded posts.. Or one smiley post. [Considered Spam..]

6. Post in correct places.. [When creating a topic, make sure it belongs in the right place.]

7. Do NOT advertise your forum outside the Websites section.

8. Do NOT disobey the Mods and Admins. Our word is LAW, so obey it!

9. DO NOT tell us how to run the forum.

10. DO NOT backseat mod. Every once in a while is fine but let US do our jobs.

11. DO NOT ask to be a mod. You will never become one if you ask. NEVER.

12. If you say you are leaving the forum forever, your accout will be DELETED.

13. DO NOT post topics saying you are leaving.

14. Try not to post pity topics. We don't care if you have no friends.

15. DO NOT register more than once. BOTH accounts will be deleted if you are caught.

16. Make your signatures a reasonable size. No large pictures or fan art. Mods have the right to remove it AFTER they PM you asking you to remove it and you don't.

17. Please don't go grave digging, or posting in older topics, it is really annoying and unneeded.

18. If you are posting directly after someone whose post you are commenting on, DON'T quote the WHOLE DAMN THING. If the person's post is long, and you're just commenting on one small part, then quote that paticular part -- otherwise, DON'T USE THE QUOTE FEATURE AT ALL. Get it? Got it? Good (Submitted by Maba)

19. "Save Danny Phantom" petitions and plans will no longer be tolerated. If topics continue to be made punishments WILL be handed out.

20. Don't post in thread that you haven't read. You'll most likely end up repeating something that's already been said. Also, don't post in a thread without having read it SAYING that you haven't read it. That's just stupid. (Submitted by Maba)

21. We all know grammar is a big thing here, but I do not want every single member and their dog getting on to someone for it. From now on let Maba handle the grammar mistakes. You may chime in every so often but don't make a habbit of it.

22. If you wish to question our rules, PLEASE to so nicely to Wolfz. She will try to explain why we have the rule, and maybe listen to what you have to say. All rules are normally final.

23. All negative comments on art should not be posted unless it is constructive critism. No matter who it is. (Submitted by TMJ)

24. Unless you are a moderator, DO NOT post in a topic criticizing the original poster about how and where they posted. Also, if you have nothing constructive or non-spammish to say, then JUST DON'T POST AT ALL. (Submitted by Maba) [See rule 10]

25. "Have the common sense to know when to just SHUT UP and let things come to pass." (submitted by Maba)

26. The making of other forum bash threads, comments, or replies are no longer allowed. Should you disobey and make a thread, comment, or reply you will be punished. This means everyone!

27. Please try not to register if you are under 13. I hate this rule but it is against the law to join a website or forum when you are younger than thirteen. I would hate DPO to be forced deleted because you guys were underage. More info will be posted on that later.

28. Don't go shamelessly plugging your fanfic/fanart/website/etc all over the forum. Keep it limited to your sig. forum. (Suggested by Firefury)

29. No longer will Anti-fan/True-fan discussions or arguments be allowed to be posted, or talked about. IF YOU POST A TOPIC, REPLY, OR EVEN SLIGHTLY MENTION IT, you will be BANNED with NO warning at all. This is FINAL.

30. No firestarting: no making posts that will very apparently push people's buttons and spark an argument, or several. (Submitted by Maba) -AKA NO FLAMING..-

31. Have fun =D

Rules may be added at any moment, so keep checking back here for updates.
