Forum Rules

I normally said I wouldn't repeat anything on the Register page, but I believe it is necessary now.

Forum Terms of service

The moderators of this forum
will try hard to edit or remove reprehensible messages as soon as
possible. However, it is impossible for them to review all the
messages. You thus admit that all the messages posted on this forum
express the sight and opinion of their respective authors and not those
of the moderators or the Webmaster (except messages posted by them) and
consequently, they cannot be held responsible of the discussions.

only used in order to confirm the details of your registration as your
password (and also to send you back your password if you forget it).

- Aggressive or slanderous messages, as well as personal
insults and critics, the coarseness and vulgarities, and more generally
any message contravening the French laws are prohibited.

- Messages who promote - or evoke - illegal practices are prohibited.
- If you post informations which come from another site
,
look first if the site in question doesn't forbid it. Show the address
of the site in question in order to respect the work of their
administrators!
- Please post your messages only once. The repetitions are unpleasant and useless!

- Please make an effort on grammar and spelling. SMS-style language (ex: r u sk8ing?) is not advised!


Any message contravening the listing above will be edited or
removed without additional notice or justification within deadlines
which will depend on the availability of the moderators. Any abuse will
involve the cancellation of the registration. Internet is neither an

• Please, PLEASE do not spam, or just post rather spammy messages.
  This happens too often in the forum, and drives other users away.
  Do not spam smileys, and make your posts meaningful. Please
  do not post pointless posts. Spam stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. So, make your posts meaning full and reasonable. Warning Points: + 1
  
• Please use proper grammar and spelling. Chat speaking
  isn't advised on the forum, as it tends to bother people a whole lot.
  
• Please don't keep anything offensive or inappropriate in your avatar, signature, or
  Any profile field for that matter. Warning Points: + 2
  
• Please don't post more than one of the same topic.
  Make sure there isn't already a topic of what you're going to
  make before you make it. Warning Points: + 1, if done excessively.
  
  
• Please don't keep a ridiculously large signature. its okay to have a image in your signature, just make sure it isn't extremely large.
  

• Try not to post in old topics. Warning Points: + 1. This rule often confuses people, so I'll try and explain the rule for each forum.
  Introductions: Try not to post in introduction topics that are over a week old. By that time, the person doesn't really need any more introductions, does he? Also, don't drag introduction topics themselves for too long either. They're for introducing, not chatting. Some small chatter is allowed of course, but try not to drag it for so long.
  
  Leaving and Returning: These follow the same rules as Introductions.
  
  About You: The About You topics can be revived at any time. If you want to post something new about yourself,
  you are free to do so.
  
  News: News topics should be left alone 2 weeks after the last post, unless you have something important to add to it.
  After news is no longer news, you shouldn't have much of a reason to revive it. If you do, though, then you are permitted.
  
  Site Discussion: Topics over a month old should be left alone. But, as always, you can revive a topic if you have a good reason to.
  
  Calendar Events: The topics should be left alone a week after the event, unless you have a reason to revive it.
  
  Sonic World Journal: 2 weeks after the Journal post the topic should be left alone. If you have something to say, you may post.
  
  Sonic Fan Fiction: If you are updating your fanfic, it is obviously okay to post. If there is an old topic(hasn't been touched in a month) that isn't being continued, don't revive it.
  
  Topics in Websites, Emerald Arcade, Artist's Showroom, Roleplaying Area and Fangames can all be revived at any time.
  Topics in General Discussion, Random Hotel, Sonic the Hedgehog, Nintendo and General Video Game Discussion shouldn't be revived if they are over a month old. If you have reason, you can revive them.
  
• Only keep 1 and only 1 account. Don't use multiple accounts, okay? Warning Points: + 2
  
  
• If a topic has been locked by the Moderators or Administrators, members are not allowed to create a second topic on the same subject as the locked topic. If created, the topic will be locked, or completely removed from the site, and the member, if they are the creator of the first locked topic, will be given a warning. Warning Points: + 1
  
• Don't make off topic posts. If you wish to have idle chatter, do it in the chatbox. If you need to discuss something with someone personally, use the Private Message system. Warning Points: + 1, if done excessively.
  
  
• Avoid using profanity or foul language on the forum. Damn and Hell are allowed, as long as they are used sparingly. Warning Points: + 1
  
  All of these rules follow for the chat as well, but the chat has some specific rules as well.
  
  -Chat Box Rules-
  
• You may not post large pictures in the chat. If you have a large image you wish to show, post a link to it instead. Large images will make the chat jump up and down and may even stretch it.
  
• Do not repeatedly log in and out of the chat. That also counts as spamming.
  
• Please respect other members and do not flame
  in the chat. If a chat mod tells you to do something,
  do not ignore. Chat mods can be recognized by a "@" sign
  next to their name.
  
• You are free to RP on the chat, but that too must be kept
  at a PG13 level. No sexual content in the chat.
  
• Swearing is automatically censored in the forum, but not in the chat.
  So..don't do it.
  
• Don't "Break" the chat. If you don't know how to "Break" the chat, then that's good.
  Those of you who do know the method, don't do it.
  

=Warning Points System=
Here's how the system goes. If you do anything to break the rules, You will get a warning point. The rules above state how and when exactly you will obtain a warning point, as well as how many.
After you break the rules on your 5th warning point, you will get a temporary ban. After 2 temp. bans, you will be permanently banned.



If I have anything to add, I will, and this post will be updated.

That sure isn't going to be easy to get used to. But I guess ill stop.

I appreciate it.

So adding the basic rules which almost EVERY self-respecting forum/website on the internet has/should have is "complicated"?

Joe left the forum in the hands of Kapus. Kapus is doing his job and keeping order around here. And to keep order, you need rules and guidelines to base your actions on, do you not?

If you ask me, I think Kapus is doing a dang good job with what he's doing, and I support it all the way through.

Well, from the looks of it, Joe isn't going to come back and Kap is in charge of this place. This forum is improving, nothing complicated about it. You just love to spam and not talk with proper spelling and grammar, which makes you say it's "complicated". Kapus is doing his job by running this forum and improving it. I also will support him all the way through all of the changes that are done.

LOOPHOLE!
So sonic was in bed with amy.. and they were naked... but the gross stuff was censored, so it's ok kapus, i can say this RPG! They did some crazy stuff, and they had a kid.

I agree with you two. Kapus is doing a better job than anyone else here could do.


And STA, (I'mma try to stop calling you Army.) Just skip and say that they had a kid. We don't need to hear how it happened.

Ok kids, time for me to tell you some censored stuff that's going make you go ask your parents question that they will feel unconfterable answering.
It can still be PG-13 if it's censored!
Please let it be noted I will not do any of that stuff.

I think either the rule should be edited or a new one should be made, saying "no sexual content is permitted on the forum/chatbox".
Because it appears that inevitably people will try to find ways around the PG-13 thing.

Yeah. Like what he's doing right there. I think thats what he's trying to tell us actually.

I will not...
I'm a good little User
Edit; This was to huski
and smash, yep that's what I was trying to say, you can still say Mature rated content but just cencor it.

Well, I don't think the way he is putting it is getting around the PG-14 rule. Sexual content is never allowed to begin with, but yes I agree that they should be edited.

LOL i was joking. I wouldnt pitty kaps for posting basic roolz. Although.....I like chat speakin..it saves time.

Dang, ease off him a little...

You could probably make use of the Quote button there. :P

The rules that are stated are actually quite fair and are well thought of. It's great to see that a set of rules that are strict but fair have been established within the forum.

Well, that's rather disturbing...

But speedy, notice it, how many members older then 16 have posted something sexual in chat... none but rose...
Then notice all our younger members... without naming them, I've seen 6 or so members post something sexual in the chat.

I agree with Speedy. It is disturbing. And I think I know what you mean. I've seen it too. I think its the adults who kinda spread it but know a little better not to to that in the chat.

I wasn't really disagreeing with you, I was just mentioning that it's pretty disturbing. By the way, Smash, I noticed a typo in your sentence.
