1-Violence or racial intolerance.
2-Illicit drugs or drug paraphernalia.
3-Pornographic, XXX material, exploitation of minors, adult, babes or mature content.
4-Excessive profanity/vulgar languages.
The degree of the excessiveness will be determined by the Moderator, if you don't want to be banned for this offense, keep your swearing down to Curse Words.
5-Hacking/cracking content.
6-Illegal MP3/Movie/Applications/Torrent/P2P/Emule link (It is also illegal to provide links to illegal files hosted on other websites).
7-Illicit or illegal content (Including yahoo rares, yahoo cracks, etc).

12-Asking for personal information about other members from staff member(s) (IP, E-mail, etc.)
13-Personal information about you or someone else (Addresses, Phone numbers etc...): Displaying or Asking.

We expect a community atmosphere here, and as a result, there are a few things we would like to keep in check:

Advertising

1-Do not Advertise websites. This includes making a new topic, designed simply to promote a service or website, or posting in an existing one.
2-You MAY post links to Websites in your Signature. SunShip Forums and it's staff is not liable for any damage caused by pressing the links, you do so at your OWN RISK. We will however, do our best to delete any offending links.
3-Posting links to
- interesting sites
- that you don't own
- is likely to spark conversation
- doesn't promote a product
...is acceptable. For example: an article found on a website.

Accounts

1-No Alternative Accounts are allowed on this Forum. Under any circumstance.
2-The punishment for breaking this rule is typically having the Alternative Account Permanently Banned, and the Main account Temporarily Banned.
3-Using an Alternative Account to bypass a Ban will result in the ban being incremented or changed to a Permanent Ban.

Posting

1-DOUBLE POSTING is frowned upon, but may be accepted depending on circumstance:
- You've run out of allowed images per post.
- You're creating a Forum Game, or other very large post, and need more space.
- New information will only make sense if created in an entirely new post. Be careful, Moderators will use their judgement to decide if this is true.

2-If you have content you feel might be inappropriate but DOESN'T conflict with our rules, don't hesitate to place [NSFW] (Not Safe For Work) into the Topic or next to the Link.

Bumping and Existing Topics

1-You should always search to make sure the topic you're creating doesn't already exist!
2-There is nothing in the rules that says Bumping dead topics is not allowed... (you can't even report it), if a topic is dead and someone has revived, don't reply; and it'll stay that way!
3-HOWEVER, mass bumping, and bumping your own topic is not allowed.
Bumping your own topic might be allowed when adding content to Galleries (IE. Picture Galleries)
4-Moderators have the right to lock topics they feel do not need to be bumped any more.

Punishment

1-Breaking the non-"Insta-ban" rules will usually result in a warning.
2-A Non-Formal Warning, is when a Moderator or Admin kindly asks you to stop breaking a rule, usually in public.
3-A Formal Warning is when you're given a Black Mark on your account for the offense. You can't see these, however; Moderators will usually send you a Personal Message when you've got one.
4-If you get three Formal Warnings you'll be banned temporarily or permanently depending on the severity of your total offenses.

And Remember, you can only make a topic if you have over 50 posts.
Also, no rape jokes are allowed.

What about the signiture rules? :P

D:< I DONT HAVE THEM WENCH! which is why i said the rules...MOSTLY lol

Oh well. At least they are there even if not in BBC code form. c:

what do you mean by mostly lol

dam it, for a few days the forum was lawless and i could run freeeeee

but not now D: , anyways nice to see {at least some} of the rules back

Well if your new to eddsworld there was an error on the forum. so as a result the forum was wiped clean of all topics,rules and other stuff luckily it didn't wiped out the groups,subjects and the ranks for each member.

I made several alterations to your post, Megan, just to make the post more organized and prettier in case someone gets lost.

>:P its not prettier

Sadly, that rule has been broken so many times, it seems its not working .
Mostly because alot of those people dont have the time to read the rules before they do so.

But yay for some of the rules staying here!
I though the forums was going to be chaotic without some of these.

I think it's very pretty...

...Er. <.<

i do not like the no under 50 post rule

by the way is that a new avatar,trap

It's to prevent spam and advertising. But when Simsy comes back he'll be able to prevent people with under 50 posts from making topics.

Yes it's a new avatar.
No you can not make double posts. The edit button is your friend. <3

didnt realize the double post thing oops.

I'm sorry if I broke any rules, I'm new to forums, i barely pay attention to them, so i never knew that there were rules. Now i know and will read the rules from now on.
