What are the forum rules?
Revised Rules:

1. No "Lamers". Think before you post. Make sure your post will not offend others. Please try to stay on topic in accordance with the original post. Please try to keep your language clean if possible. We're a forum, not a bar or pub. Do not respond to flamebait. We'll handle it.

2. Do not attack the moderators. The moderators do your dirty work for you. They are here for your benefit, not to abuse you with their powers. (However, if you make an effort to upset a mod, they will not hesitate to ban you.)

Note: The moderators were chosen here because we feel they deserve and can handle the job. If you are unhappy with a moderator or the way the forum is ran, you are welcome to find another PSO related forum to post in. Whining about or holding a vote against a moderator will not institute any type of change in staff. PSOW is not a democracy nor is it your playground.

3. Post in the appropriate forums. If you make a mistake and post in the wrong forum, it's okay. However, do not make posting in the wrong forum a constant behavior. Do not 'hijack' other peoples' threads. This is considered to be rude behaviour. If you wish to continue a conversation with one particular person which has no bearing on the original topic, please take it to Private Mail.

4. No Spam. Spam eats space. This rule is strictly enforced. This will include posts containing single words, or abbrieviations such as "lol" and the like. The forums are NOT a chat room, so no freeposting. If the thread is a poll, such as a, then it is allowed, but please try to put a reason for the choice instead of just a one word post.

5. Respect EVERYBODY in the forum. Everyone's equal here. This forum isn't just for one group or individual. Flaming will not be tolerated. You flame, you get banned. Racist remarks or ethnocentrism will result in banning. So, don't.

Note: Flamebaiting, or throwing remarks at users in attempt to get them to flame you, is just as bad as flaming.

6. No discriminatory or derogatory remarks.

7. Once again, topic "hijacking" is frowned upon. You hijack, you will receive a warning.

8. Sig limits still remain the same as they were before. 600 pixels horizontal, 180 pixels vertical, 35000 bytes max, NOT 35KB. Do not have midi music auto-playing on sigs and no more than 5 lines of text! The 5 lines of text rule includes line breaks.

9. Do not post pornographic images, or cartoon/anime pornographic images. You want them, go elsewhere. Posting pornographic images or links will result in a warning or ban.

PSO World is a site themed for all ages. This means no posting of any adult-related material or material that would be non-suitable for viewing by minors.

10. Do not post messages from Private Mail if they are meant to be private. In addition, please do not harrass members via Private Mail.

11. Please address any personal issues or complaints about members by PMing a mod instead of taking it out on the board. If you have suggestions, issues, or complaints about the board itself, please use the Site Related forum.

12. Use of the PSO World forums is a privilege and not a right. If a moderator feels you need to be removed from them, you will be sent a private message about whatever behavior has initiated your removal. Failure to change your behavior will result in a ban. In certain circumstances, there will be no warning and instead, the user will be banned immediately.

13. Personal Photos should not exceed 600x450 in dimensions. Users abusing them will be warned first and should repeated abuse occur, said user will lose their ability to have a Personal Photo. The abuse warning also goes for signatures and custom titles.

Users normally have three warnings before resulting in serious action or a ban. However, depending on the extremity of the violation, a user may only have one warning or an instant ban.

By posting in the forums, you hereby acknowledge these rules.

Not to be rude or trying to change the rules in any way, but why is ethnocentricy not tolerated? Isn't it just putting your own "race" or whatever before others? I mean, how can you even do that on a forum anyway?

Ummm....is that five lines thing you mentioned about me?

Sorry about that if it is, I didn't know it would be the same signature that would appear on the board.

They mean no ethnic slurs, don't put people down because they are of a different race, creed, class ect. ect. For example don't call people the "N" word and so on. Bottom line, don't play the race card. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

This place is pretty leniant, i have seen some TOS places that everything results in an automatic ban.

Good to know there are rules though http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
