Rules are going to update... and .... *trumpet blows*
////////*NEW RULES*\\\\\\\\\\\
These are the rules of our forum, please follow them. ^_^ We don't think they're really all that severe and hard to follow, you don't have to do much. But, before you start posting, please make sure you've read them all, to avoid future misunderstandings.
If you break the rules, your bad posts will be deleted. And if what you've done is really bad, you may even be banned (for a while or for ever!). You're not offered the liberty to post in the forum until the mods unbanned you.
1 - Please communicate ONLY in English, because here there are people from all over the world...so that's the easiest way to understand one another. It's an international language afterall. If you want to talk to someone from your same country, please do it using personal message, or sometimes sparely in a game. It's annoying to read something and not being able to understand what it means. If you want to add in a few to brighten the mood, feel free, but give an English translation. However, you are allowed to start a thread about 'People's from Russia/China/Greece/et etcetera' and typed in other languages) in General topic.
2 - Please don't write often messages with less than 5 words...the forum isn't a chat, write this type of short messages only in the shoutbox or in games. *** Unless the five words meant something and is able to let others respond to it.
eg. Just one emotion is not allowed, that will be deleted...
eg. Just a web site address also not allowed...
3 - Don't tease anyone, be kind to the others. That means that teasers and disturbers will be banned from the forum. Respect different points of view, and people who belong to a race different from yours.
EXCEPTIONS - Role-players that had mentioned that they are a role-playing a villain. But you'll have to know not all villains have bad mouths. Some are just annoying, some are just crazy.
Role-players must STOP role-playing in Rules, Videos, Topics about Teen Titans as a show, Games, Music, Books, Fan Fics, Suggestions and most importantly, advise.
4 - Please don't use chatspeak, a high percentage of users doesn't have English as their first language, so understanding would be a bit...hard. You've all the time you need to write whatever you want...no hurry, so, write all the words, please ^_^ (Chatspeak examples: u r gud. it s**k, w8 4 me, brb ill b bk )
5 - Try to not go off-topic, Let's say a "Fan Art" thread become a place to RP. I'm exaggerating, but the truth is more.
6 - Links do not count as words. So a post containing only links will be deleted. Write something else, not only the link! Don't spam, Double Post will be deleted. Do remember you have a signature to add links to it. It's handy, so try not to sprinkle your links, in another word, spamming. Spammers will be banned.
7 - Don't write bad words or things like those...and don't talk about things like drugs and sex, and smoking, because some people wasn't too happy with them. To prevent misunderstanding, avoid that, or go to a special forum for those 3. Don't swear foully. Everybody does that will be immediately banned, days of banning will be discussed. Occasional but considerate light swear in RP to express mood is alright.
8 - Things like YAOI (Boy x Boy love stuff) and YURI (Girl x Girl love stuff) are allowed, but only in a thread only for the topics. Name your thread clearly. Don't go about talking about it. ! Not everyone likes them.
9 - No bad words in signatures.
10 - Don't create double accounts!!! Only an account for person is allowed, this cause a lot of problems, and I knew it from experience. If you are banned, don't try to do another one, this makes your banning period longer when we find out. (unless your family member wanted to join)
Exception: admin who create accounts to prepare someone an account to RP, or you need another RP account (but keep it secret, if you know, shut your mouth)
Thanks for your attention.

I set another well organized forum as role model, the admin and moderators are respected, organized, and did their job. So i think it's time to organize the mod system... phew... Especially Senior Members (Like Four winds, hey, you a god!) should do even better, the newbies are following the senior members!
