Welcome To Furrum! (Read before you post)
Ozymandias on Mon Jul 07, 2008 10:17 pm
Welcome to Furrum! Furrum is a place furries and scalies alike can call home. You can discuss furry and scaly matters, meet other furries and scalies, and just have fun! Make sure to post an introduction thread, and read the rules:
- Before you post : A search should be done to see if your questions have not been already posted. You have an FAQ section where you can find answers for general questions about board management
- Topic titles : When you post your question or your problem, you must use a title related to your problem/question. Words such as "Urgent", "SOS", "Question", "Problem", "Hurry" are not tolerated. All Caps should also be avoided.
- Description of you problem/question : When you ask a question, try to be clear and accurate about what you want to say. Don't hesitate to describe your problem. The more info you give, the better we can help you.
- Language on this forum : When you write in English, SMS (cell phone) style message, L3375P34K (leetspeak) and deliberate mistakes must be avoided. Non-English people, as well as English people, must be able to understand what you write, so put a minimum of care in your English, even if your English is not very good.
- Colours and capitals : When you write your message, please don't abuse capitals (it means that you shout) or colours.
Some colours are reserved for moderation and light colors are hard to read for visually impaired people.
- Flood and off-topic : Flood must be avoided. One-word posts such like "lol", "rofl" or a single smiley must be avoided.
You must also avoid to post the same topic twice, it will not be faster for you to get a response.
As long as you topic is not in the second page of the support section, it is useless to up it. The minimum delay between two Ups is 24 hours, according to this board's default timezone (GMT - 5).
If you make a mistake, please use the button at the top-right of your post, to avoid double-posting
- Advertising for sites : Spamming for sites is not tolerated, even by PM. If you post about a problem, give the address of sites ONLY if we ask you OR if it's really necessary to understand a problem. Better : Put site addresses in your profile, so we will just have to click on the "Site" button to examine it.
- Other advertising : It is also forbidden to post advertising for money-related stuff, many of our members are under 18.
Behavior on the forum
- Defamatory, racist, hateful, pornographic, illegal or insulting content must be avoided on this forum. You must respect the fact that people may have a different opinion than you. If you are in conflict with another member, please use PMs for that, this board is not an arena!
- Please, be patient. It's useless to up your topic every 2 minutes (see the point "Flood and Off-topic"). Every member of this forum has a private life besides EditBoard, so they can't always respond immediately.
- You must respect the moderators and administrators. They all work voluntarily on this forum and they are human, not machines!
- If you received advertising, pornographic content or insults by PM, you must send the whole copy (including the headers) to a moderator by PM. Posting it in a topic is useless and will only cause conflicts between you and the one who sent you the PM.
- If you don't find your topic, it may have been moved to a more appropriate place. If you have a question, PM a moderator for that!
Avatar and Profile
- Avatar dimensions : Your avatar's width must not exceed 150 pixels and its height must not exceed 200 pîxels. These limits are here to avoid scrolling for people who have a low screen resolution. You must also respect the limit of data which is fixed to 300 KB. There are still people who have a low-speed connection, and heavy pictures take time to load for them.
- Your avatar is not an advertising banner, so avatars with site URL must be avoided.
- Sexually oriented and gore avatars must be avoided
- Your "Age/S" field is not an advertising space, so site URL must be avoided
Possible sanctions
- If you made advertising by PM, you may see your PM mailbox disabled for a determined period
- If your avatar doesn't respect the rules and you ignore the moderator's request to have it changed, the Administrator may forbid you from displaying an Avatar.
- Advertising for money-related stuff = Immediate ban
- Ignoring the moderators' warnings and continuing to not respect the rules, insulting people and trolling may result to a ban from the forum
If you have any questions about one of the forum rules, please PM me or one of the mods so we can answer your question.
