Use proper spelling and grammar.
Goes without saying, really. Use the spell-check AND grammar-check on Word if you must. Though if you have some mistakes a mod will probably clean them up after you. Just don't make us work harder than necessary. We don't want "n00b" talking or "1337". We understand some of you like talking like morons (sorry, but it's true), but we'd like people (ourselves included) to be able to understand what your saying. Some abbreviations are fine.
No Swearing/Profanity
Simply, we want teens anywhere from 12 years old to 19 year olds. This IS a PG-13 forum, and we expect people to respect that. If someone does not, they will get three warnings for swearing, and one for anything of sexual nature. After these, they will face deletion, or depending, banning [which includes IP addresses and emails].
Be Respectful
Simply that--be nice. Not just to admins, but to everyone. We hope there will be no fighting, and if there is, the same meathod as swearing comes in.
No -Isms
We do NOT tolerate slander to other races, cultures, religions, or anything else. Also respect people's choices. For example, some Christians [Among other religions] do not agree with gay marriage--or gays in general. Do not be rude to someone who is gay, lesbian, or bi. The same goes for colours of skin [race], different religions [don't try to convert people], etc.
These WILL NOT be tolerated[/u]
Please check in regularly
Preferably once a month, to at least be there for the meetings.
[The last Friday of every month, at 8:00. If this doesn't work for some people, please PM me, and I'll see what I can do to fix this for everyone].
As a reminder, I reserve the right to add to, change, or get rid of any rules at an time. Thanks.
