Forum Rules!!! (yay...)

These are the basic ground rules of this forum.

I hate bullies. Don't you? That's why we have this rule.

This includes:
1. Impersonation
2. Trolling
3. Threats
4. Stalking

2. NO porn!!!
I hate the teamlava forums cause it's full of that disgusting stuff. We DEFINITELY do NOT want porn here. NOTE that porn is an automatic 3 strikes!!!

3. PERSONAL INFORMATION is posted AT YOUR OWN RISK! Remember that passwords should NEVER be posted! We may decide to edit any posts that include personal info, directly or indirectly.

4. OFF-TOPIC Posts will not get you a strike, but any of your off-topic posts WILL be deleted.


CONSEQUENCES:

Each time you break a rule, you get a strike on your account. The 1st strike is a warning, 2nd strike is one of the following punishments below, and the 3rd strike is a guaranteed permanent ban. Also, good behavior may result in a removal of a strike.
