Consequence(s):
Depending on the situation, you may be issued an official warning.
2. No swearing! We know its just how some of you express yourselves, but many people find it very offensive. Please have respect and don't swear.
Consequence(s):
First offense: reminder of rules.
Further offenses: official warning
3. Keep it clean! Please keep all posts, PMs, stories, links, etc free of content that would be rated above "PG-13." There are younger members on the forum, and we don't wish to expose them to things they should not be exposed to.
Consequence(s):
Official warning
4. Please do not post in all capital letters. Different people take this as different meanings such as yelling. (exceptions will be made where shouting is appropriate and in context)
Consequence(s):
First offense: reminder of rules.
