these rules where taken from Sonic Adventure Community Terms of Service

(note: I have begin given permission to use these rules by Sasuke)

In order to keep this a fun place for all, there are certain rules that need to be followed. The rules apply to all methods of communication between community members i.e. forums, private messages, e-mail etc.

1. No Spam. Spamming can be defined as either posting multiple times about the same thing or starting multiple topics about the same thing. There are other actions that are considered spamming such as constantly posting off-topic as well as providing links that have nothing to do with the forum at hand. Spam will be deleted without warning.

2. No slander. Treat others in your messages as you would like to be treated yourself. Insults, language or anything offense will be deleted without warning if considered unacceptable by an Moderator. Content that is insulting to anyone based on gender, lifestyle, religion, ethic group, race etc. is unacceptable and will be deleted without warning.

3. No flame wars. There is no place for that on these message boards. Topics that are designed to start a flame war (defined as a abrasive and/or offensive argument that serves no purpose but to make people mad) will be treated as Spam and deleted without warning.

4. Stay on-topic. There will be some leniency on this, and we don't mind if you bring in another idea or two, but stay focused. If you think it's a good enough topic, start a new thread about it. This also prevents losing a good idea in a thread about another topic. Threads that wander off-topic will be closed and/or trimmed or moved to its appropriate forum.

5. This is not a phone. Conversations are for the telephone, IRC, etc., not for this message board. For example few want to hear about you meeting with a friend for pizza in the 13 page thread.

6. No illegal topics. Warez, pornography, copyrighted material, etc. are not welcome here and will be removed without warning. Posters of such material will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

7. No impersonating. Attempting to pose as a registered user/moderator or admin will not be tolerated and will result in the deletion of that username. This also applies to variations of registered names.

8. Images. All the content and images within this forum is copied and placed on another site or forum, you'll be getting into trouble, also for Hotlinking, but luckly there is an Anti Right click.

9. We reserve the right to edit, delete, or ban any content found on these sites without warning.

10. We also reserve the right to modify these rules without warning.

11. This forum is made for people to have fun, members openly challenging Admins or Moderators about 'useless topics/forums' will come under scrutiny. The forum is Administrated so that old forums will be closed and deleted after a period of time.

12. No Hentai or porn,this is illegal and the person who did it will even be banned!

13. This forum is not all just about Sonic, it's about other anime's and other games so feel free to post things in the right forum.

14. Grammer. We wan't to make this a fun place for all the members that join here. So please keep your grammer nice and easy so the place stays clean. If anyone is seen to have a lack of grammer will be sent in the n00b jail. We do realise that many people will be from approching here from many different countries, but we will PM them and find all the information, but come on!, they can atleast try there best. And if someone breakes These rules will be banned or your warning level will be raised without warning.

15. Signatures. We want to keep this board easy and fast to load, so we don't want to see people having huge signatures, 1, because it slows the forum down, 2, it looks ugly, and we only allow you to have a 400x400 Signature.

16. PM's;Never tell anyone in your PM to join other sites!
