Forum Rules

1. Obscenity
- You are to not post any offensive and/or sexual posts toward anyone whether implied or directly.
-- Offensive:
--- Attacks a user or group of people
--- Attacks one's sexual orientation
--- Posting to promote drugs, violence, or any negative behavior
-- Sexual
--- Pornographic material of any kind (whether implied or direct)

2. Respect
- You are to not discriminate anyone by either race, skin color, religion, gender, etc.
- You can not bash on the server in any section, especially in Farewell.
- You can not edit another Admin's or GM's post without explicit permission.

3. Advertisement
- You are not to intentionally point links to sites that offer other online games.
-- Exception list:
--- YouTube (Must be D.ChaosMS EX)
--- Google
--- Facebook (Must be D.ChaosMS EX)
--- Any other site that do not contain another private server or online game.
--- Reporting a site that has been caught taking things from us

4. Staff Impersonation
- You are not to impersonate any of our staff members by changing your forum username/identity to an already existing staff member and/or pretending you are above all.
-Do not act like a moderator. We have plenty of them already.

5. Flaming/Trolling
- You are not to attack or insult another user whether direct or implied.
- You are not to instigate any flame wars.

6. Spam
- You are not to post irrelevant messages containing nothing related to the topic or post a large amount of posts.
- You are not to request the locking of threads unless you are the thread starter.
- You are not to request "unban/ban/jail" in Players/Donators/GMs Report and Ban Appeal sections.
- Depending on the moderator, your post will be deleted without notice.

7. Necroposting (Bumping)
- You are to not "bump" any threads older than 1 week of it's latest reply. Repeated offenders will be subject to a ban.
- If you did bump, the reply must be very beneficial to the thread, this will not be enforced as much as it sounds like it will.
- This rule is relaxed in Trade/Buy/Sell and Guild sections, post if the deadline of inactivity is near.
- Moderators must delete the post that caused the thread to bump and lock the thread than replying to the user which further bumps the thread.

8. Double Posting
- You are to not create a new reply if the last reply is you, you must edit your latest post. Repeated offenders will be subject to a ban.
- Depending on the moderator, your post will be deleted without notice.


9.Signatures
- keep your siggies small. No obnoxiously large images. If you want to include large images in your signature, put it in a spoiler.
- your posts may be deleted on site by mods until you change your signature, if you've already been warned by others to minimize your signature. We don't need to scroll endlessly past small posts with long siggies.

I suggest adding this: Quoting posts that are at LEAST as long as this one should be prohibited to avoid wasting space on the topic.

Yes that means that f3
And you just broke that rule f3

I would like to propose an amendment to the necropost rule.
If a topic is revived, the newest post should be related to the topic, and contribute to the thread in a beneficial manner. Such that it keeps going.

It'll be largely subjective and up to moderator discretion, but a good rule of thumb is that if there's really no reason to bring up the topic (like, say an update to the forum that was made months ago), then the user gets warned.

I know I'm late but ^ is a bad idea since the owner of that thread doesn't want to continue it unless he really wants to keep going (like game thread, item, and more thread)
and
For double posting,
you should add the message (merging up to the comment he/she made)

#2 last point has been added.

does that include threads that occasionally need to be updated? or just for regular threads?

Updated Rule 7.

Upd8. Added rule #9.
