1. BE NICE.
Keep a good attitude, and don't take out your anger on a member. This rule is MOST IMPORTANT!
2. Keep your content family-friendly.
No swearing, adult content, or anything of the like. This also goes for bypassing the swear filter, so DON'T.
3. No useless topics.
The topic has to have a point. If it does not, then it will either be locked or deleted. If it is in the wrong forum, we will move it for you.
4. No flaming.
All opinions are equal. Do not argue against someone's thought of things.
5. Respect ALL users.
Everyone here on the forums is an equal, no matter of what rank or group they are. So treat them with respect and maturity.
6. Don’t abuse the private message function.
PMs are there to ask someone something in private, carry on conversations unrelated to the current topic, or ask a MOD or ADMIN for assistance. DON'T use it for flaming, trolling, or just plain stupidity.
7. No advertising.
If you have a link to your site, interesting sites, or other sites than PresStart and it affiliates, please put it in your signature. The only time it is okay to post a link is; 1) Linking to a large image, 2) Something relating to the topic, 3) A news or story source.
8. No backseat moderating.
You don't have any say-so in the goings on in a forum. Don't tell people what to do. If you have an opinion, PM a MOD or ADMIN. They KNOW what to do and will help you.
9. No trolling.
No one likes an IDIOT. If you do troll; you will have your posts deleted and your account banned/PERMAbanned
10. RESPECT THE MODERATORS/ADMINS.
We keep everything going and rule enforced, and if we think you aren't following the rules, we will tell you, either in a forum post or a PM. DON'T argue, as it will only make things worse. If you have comments or questions, please PM MasterZ and he will try to help you as much as possible.
Follow these rules and you'll be just fine!
