FORUM RULES:

1. Flaming/being an asshat/using racial slurs/annoying stuff will get you warned, temporarily banned or permanently banned (it depends on the offense made).

2. Keep things civil, but feel free to joke around and be yourself - use your better judgement.

3. Good grammar. Why not practice your English? Good, coherent writing is obviously nicer to read and easier on the head. :P

4. Post in the most appropriate forum and stay on topic.

5. Use descriptive topics.

6. Don't double post (don't post the same thing twice; don't post multiple times in a row ... instead, use the edit button).

7. If you're posting anything adult-related, be sure to put a warning in your topic's description.

8. Nothing sick and/or distasteful - use your better judgement.

9. NO WAREZ...at all.
