- Remember to keep an open mind and respect each other, the staff, and the site itself.
- Please use English to the best of your ability. English is not the first language of everyone on the forum, and when you start talking in text speak or tYpInG lIkE tHiS, it not only looks garish, but it confuses people too. Abbreviations such as "LOL" and "ASAP" are acceptable but not in excess.
- Links to sites containing illegal, pornographic, racist, homophobic or otherwise offensive material will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Signatures are also not for advertising purposes unless advertising personal sites, forums, blogs or fansites, or social networking profiles (such as Facebook and Twitter). If you are unsure as to whether or not you may link to a particular site in your signature, feel free to PM a staff member. You may also advertise on our plugboard.
- It is not a crime to swear. They are just words, and you will not find yourself in trouble for doing so, therefore, there is no need to star out, or otherwise censor, any form of foul language. However, it is a crime if said language is being used in order to upset or offend another member.
- If you wish to double post, please wait at least twenty four hours before you do so. If it has been less than twenty four hours but you wish to edit/bump your post, please PM a staff member asking them to bump it for you. You also cannot reply to a thread consecutively more than three times (threads within the Display Cabinet not included).
- Please do not create threads or post replies that consist of one word or emoticon. Posts of substance only, please. The only exception is in the Playpen.
- Keep signatures no bigger than two banners that are 500 pixels in width and 170 pixels in height. This does not include awards. All avatars should be 100x100 pixels in size and no more than 100kb.
- When posting articles or images created by someone else, link to where you found them.
- Add krissy@asforums.net to your allow list so that when we send out an email, it doesn't go into your spam folder!
- If you discover an issue, please check our Facebook. and Twitter pages and your email inbox before you report it; it may well be a work in progress. When reporting issues and errors please post in the Spotlight, or PM a staff member, but please remember that this may mean that it takes longer for you to receive a reply.
The staff reserve the right to amend these rules at any time. If you do not follow these rules, you will receive a warning.
