The rules are fairly simple and ordinary. More may be added at any time. If you find yourself with a verbal warning [ PM ] then you may dispute it. I'm not saying the warning will just disappear, but it may with a well thought out excuse.

1. Respect everyone. We don't have to be good friends and we don't have to say how much we love everyone or their writing style, or whatever it may be, but if you have a negative opinion [which is not constructive], we ask you keep it to yourself. Nobody wants to feel unwelcome, nor does anybody need added stress from online persons. Play civil, if not nice.

2. Do your best to use proper grammar and spelling. We all make mistakes, so it's no big deal when we misspell a word or get our adjectives wrong. Still, we would like to think everyone would want to make an effort and strengthen their writing skills in all ways possible.

3. Write a significant amount. Plain and simple, posts that do not add to a thread will not be tolerated. If you can't think of a plausible response to your own post, something is obviously wrong.

4. Images: Avatars may be 100x100 pixels. Signatures may be 500x200 pixels.
