These are the basic forum rules. A thread of whoms content is deemed in violation of these rules may result in an infraction to the author, if deemed necessary. The exact amount of infraction will depend on the rule violated. Habitual accumulation of infraction points will result in ban for a varying length of time. Please note that not all violations will result in an infraction. Some will result in a warning (no infraction given) while others will result in immediate ban. Also note that any member of the administration have the right to edit these rules as they see fit.

Misc.
Video Rules
I installed a Plugin which will allow you to post

youtube
myspace
google
meta cafe
ifilm
daily motion
videos to any forum on the site. Please post videos that are relevant to your thread or you will be penalized and possible banned!
To post a video just copy and past the video url into your post. eg if you are going to add a youtube video just copy the paste the address in the address bar into the post.
That will allow the video to be posted.
PLEASE ONLY ONE LINK PER THREAD. TO POST A SERIES PLEASE ATTACH IN SEPARATE POSTS.
A quick reminder than when you post a video link, make sure it is legal, and the site is hosting it legally. One easy way to check this is by searching for the site on google. If it does not show up on google, then chances are it is illegal, and it not searchable in an effort to remain under cover from authorities.
If you have any question about the legality of a link, please pm an admin.
Hacking: attempting to access someone else's account, a moderation or administration feature. Result: Immediate and potentially permanent IP ban and potential contacting of internet service provider. THIS IS A LICENCED PRODUCT, WHICH COSTS MONEY, ATTEMPTING TO HACK AN ADMINISTRATOR'S ACCOUNT MAY BE VIEWED AS AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL.
Impersonation: Attempting to lead others to believe that you are someone of power eg... administrator, moderator, Jelsoft Enterprises (the creator of this forum system) employee etc... PLEASE KNOW THAT WE WILL NEVER REQUEST YOUR PASSWORD. Result: IP banning.
