Shaggy, as you've used the old RG rules I wrote ages ago for this site, which I've since updated and redone, I thought the rules here should follow suit.

This is the new draft. Its much the same as RGs new rules, but of course I've changed bits and peices to make them fit this site.

Rules of this forum

Welcome to Final Fantasy.Net

1 Flaming and Insulting other members - Are not allowed and will not be tolerated. Attack the argument not the poster. Insults include name calling and questioning another member(s) intelligence. The word "gay" used as an insult aimed at other member(s) is considered a flame and will be deleted.

2 Trolling - A troll is someone who posts an extreme statement in one or more threads designed to provoke angry reactions from the rest of the forum and start a flame war. An example would be something like "Kill all *blanks* and save the white race". I also consider senseless bashing of nations/people, eg "All *blanks* are stupid" as trolling. Any posts/threads of this nature will be deleted or locked.

3 Hate Posts/Threads - Are not allowed and will be deleted. Includes racism of any kind and insults against groups such as women, homosexuals and religions. There is sometimes a fine line between a hate post/thread and trolling. Both are banned on this forum.

4 Spam - Any silly, off topic, meaningless or gibberish posts/threads will be deleted without explanation or warning. Off topic chit chat posts between two or more members is also considered spam.

5 Bad Language - Swearing and sexually explicit language are not allowed. Toilet language (words used to describe various bodily functions) is also banned. Sexual references are frowned upon but will be judged on a case by case basis by the mod who finds them. Chances are they will be deleted however.

6 Links - No links to pages containing illegal content (includes warez), porn, or click for points/money sites (Outwar etc). No linking to commercial websites for advertising/sales purposes. Links to your own sites are allowed in your sigs, but must not be posted on the forum. Our site is not here to provide you with members for your own.

7 Search - Please use the search function to make sure your new thread doesn't already exist and check that its going into the correct forum. Any duplicates will be closed or merged. There is no rule against grave digging or necromancing on this forum, if a thread isn't locked its open for posts.

If you see anything that you feel breaks these rules, please feel free to report it with the "report bad post" button, that is displayed on every post, or PM a staff member.

The most important rule is.....Enjoy the forum and have fun :)
