Default Updated vB.org General Forum Rules

Updated General Forum rules:

Rule No. 1 - No "Flaming"
1) You will not post any messages that harrass, insult, belittle, threaten or flame another member or guest.

Rule No. 2 - No "Trolling"
2) You will not post any topic that disrupts the peace and harmony of this forum. Don't create meaningless threads with the sole purpose of starting a dispute. This includes messages in profiles and signatures.

Rule No. 3 - No "Spamming"
3) You will not double post or cross-post the same message in multiple forums. You will not mass-PM or mass-email multiple members of this site the same message. You will not post for the sake of increasing your post count or hack count.

Rule No. 4 - No "Offensive" Posts, Links or Images
4) You will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, racist, sexist, discriminatory, or otherwise violative of any local or international laws. This includes links in your signature, profile, bookmarks as well as posted images, photos and avatars. Staff will ultimately decide if something is appropriate or not.

Rule No. 5 - No Self-Promotion
5) You will not post any messages anywhere on this site that are primarily for the promotion or advertising of any website, forums, email address, business, MLM, activity, or other entities that you have an affiliation with (ie. no self-promotion).

Rule No. 6 - No Public Posting of Copyright Material
6) You will not upload, attach or post anything that is copyright or licensed. For example, you cannot upload or attach full copies of vBulletin program files. Partial code reference is allowed, as long as it is not substantial - this will be decided by the staff. In addition, you will not trade, buy, sell or exchange vBulletin versions or licenses here.

Rule No. 7 - Signature Restrictions
7) All signatures should not exceed the following size limits:
For text signatures: 4 lines normal size, 8 lines small size and up to 90 chars per line. Empty lines are also counted! Font sizes above 2 are not allowed.
For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size
If you do want to have text and an image, you can have a maximum of 2 normal lines (or 4 small lines) and one image (in a new line) up to 300 pixels wide, 75 pixels tall and 20k in size.
You may have a link to your own website, but there must be no promotional language like "Best Hosting" or "Cheapest Styles". Paypal and affiliate links are NOT permitted.
Don't use [color=yellow] or similar code as it is unreadable on three of our styles.

What happens if I break a rule?
The administrators and moderators of vBulletin.org have the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread or post, or suspend or ban any member for any breach of the rules or for any other reason with or without warning or notice.

What if I see a message posted that breaks a rule?
Please report these posts or threads to the administrator or moderator of the forum by clicking on the "Report" link at the bottom of the offending post or thread, and the post or thread will be reviewed and action taken as soon as possible.

What is my responsibility as a member?
Please keep these 7 rules in mind when you post. The administrators and moderators of vBulletin.org have the right to change these rules at any time without notice. It is the responsibilty of every member to remain updated with the current rules.

Why have rules in the first place?
The rules are there for the protection of the community as a whole and to prevent abuse, conflict and disharmony within the forums.

These are general forum rules. There will be forum-specific guidelines and rules as well.

Thank you!
