Forum : Is your post in the right Forum? Think of General Chat as a ‘last resort’, only posting in there if your post would not fit in any of the other forums provided to you.

Language : Most people on these forums do actually speak English which is hard to believe I know. Not everyone can spell everything correctly but at least make an effort, and cut down on abbreviated words.

Unique : Are you new, or have you been away from the forums for a few days? If so check the first few pages of the forums or make use of the search option for topics similar to your's so we don’t have the same discussions over and over. If someone complains that their avatar isn’t working, don’t make a whole new post saying yours is, just post in theirs, they won’t mind.

Maturity : The age range on this board varies greatly so we are bound to have different interests but try and make it so as many people as possible will be interested in your post.

Point : Not all posts need to be essays but try and have a little more than just 'ok' or 'lol' for your post. Please, we really are interested in what you have to say on the matter. Just try and make sure there is a point in your post, that you add something new to the conversation.

Images, please keep these down to a maximum of 800x600 pixels.

Signatures should only be a maximum size of 760 x 160 if they are found to be any larger then they will be removed. multi pics are fine, as long as added up they fit in the guidelines .
A maximum of 3 lines of text underneath !

Restriction of Classifieds Section

The Classifieds section is limited, only Gold/ Platinum and those with trader status are allowed to post items of their's for sale on the forum, however all users will still be able to post Wanted adverts.

Anyone found posting their adverts in any section will have them removed. ( Including those stealthily placed ' I may be selling this' type posts, and signature based sales / adverts, suggestive usernames, selling for other users )

Sorry for any inconvenience, but it is for your protection in the long run :D



NB : This may seem like the forum being greedy, but the gold/ plat / trader schemes are the forums only financial input, which partially covers the cost of the server.
The unpaid Staff maintain the forum in their own free time.
If anyone has a better system, please feel free to contact any member of Staff. We are not a free-ads forum!


There is always Ebay :wink:

In an effort against ongoing spam issues, when a new user signs up their first 2 posts will be moderator approved - i.e. they wont show up on the forum until a moderator manually approves the post.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but this should hopefully limit the amount of spam posts we get.
