- No illegal content will be held, if stuff is referenced, a reference should be given
- Do not link to sites with illegal content (illegal - mp3s, programs, hacking sites etc...)
- Do not post graphic pictures, this includes anything terribly disgusting, or pornography (which will get you immediately banned)
- Keep your topic in the correct forum, music in music, talk in talk, and greenday in greenday forums.
- Do not post full textual messages in CAPS, if you need emphasis, theres bold and italic codes.
- Try to keep language colourful, there is no need to use swear words or slang to "look cool", much of use here like to see the full range of english vocabulary use
- Do not post links to sites intending to cause damage to other peoples computers, either through known security holes, or trying to crash it. This type of link is illegal and is not endoursed by Warning: A Green Day Site or Cygni Studios.
- The Moderators run the forums. You may occasionally get warned or spoken to by them for posting misconduct even though it may not be explictibly stated on this page that the content you posted is prohibited. It is up to you to respect this decision and learn from it, regardless of whether you feel it is fair or not. Do not argue with the moderators or you will be warned, or possible banned.
- Avatars
- Avatars must be appropriate size
- No more than 80x80
- No more than 8k
- No more than 80x80
- No excessivly animated avatars
- Keep avatar images appropriate. Inappropriate images will be removed.
- Smilies
- Please do excessively use smilies in your post, one smiley will say the same as twenty of the same smiley
- Large fonts and awful gut wrenching colours
- Please use appropriate font sizes and colours
for example, white on this board doesn't show up too well - Large fonts are distrating, and usually taken as shouting
- Small fonts are hard to read, and can be distracting, please limit their usage
- Spam and flooding
- Spam is not tollerated, neither is flooding
- Flooding is the repeated posting of practically the same topic/post
- Measures are in place to slow down flooding, so don't try
- Spam is unwanted advertising (like you get in your junk mail box), do not advertise your site. If you wish to advertise, put it in your signature, or sign up to be an affiliate.
The most important thing is to have fun and to enjoy yourself here. If you follow these simple guidelines you and everyone else will have the most fun possible. The most important rule is to respect other board members just as much as you would respect a mod or admin, or a grandparent. This is a great friendly community and it should stay this way.
