Rage3D Forum Rules

[Shrink]

Hey folks - just in case some of the newer members of Rage3d forums haven't wandered into the Feedback Central Forum where MrB has so eloquently posted the forum rules, I am quoting them here:

Official Rage3D Forum Rules

A few other things that go on way to much in Off Topic that will stop is

• *Racial, sexual, homophobic, or any other slur targeting a minority will not be tolerated*
• Happens way to much. You guys no better yet you do it anyway. It is grounds for banning!
• *Posting of Pornography and Nudity pics or links can and will get you banned*
• And I'd like to add certain things that have gone on to long. Things people like to post.
• *explicit posts and circumventing the swear filter* is not allowed.
  
• Spamming the forum with Pointless Polls is also not permitted.
  
• Bumping old posts! Some people seem to think it's funning to go bump a 2,3 or 4 year old post. It's not funny! It's spam!
  
• No threads involving referrals to those 'get rich quick' and 'get cheap hardware' websites and things of that sort. This grounds for banning.
  
• Postcount threads are spam threads and will be treated as such.
  
• Posts that only consist of slangs & acronyms such as, QTF, REPOST, B&, B7, OFN, IB4TL, stick your dork in her mouth... etc will be considered as thread crapping in which further actions from staff can follow.
  
• Members who create threads or private messages to annouce their forum or web site will be deleted & banned.
  
• If we delete 5 or more offensive posts by someone (flaming, trolling, whatever), the guy automatically gets a 3 day vacation. No questions asked.[/b]
  
• P&R Topics prohibited outside of the P&R forum. Yes, that includes OT. Visit this thread for directions on joining the P&R Forum.
  
• PM begging threads will be deleted.
