Rules of Avatar2009 [must read]

[Teᴙa253]

rules, rules... let's see...

just a heads up... sure I might be the Main Admin, Great Dalmuti, Head Honcho, Chuck Norris, Lord of the Forum, and all that jazz, but all in all I'm just like anyone else. I'm not going to lord over people. The only reason I have that title is to make sure people know who is running the site if they have questions, etc. other than that, I'm going to be ranking up just like the rest of you. I'm not going to make very many rules, and hope that I won't have to enforce any of them. Nevertheless, if I have to, I will. just follow the rules though. it makes my life easier, makes a happier forum, and makes everyone happy.

if you have a problem with one or more of the rules, please take it up with me and I'll see what I can do about it.

let's keep this place PG-13, folks. if that's too much to ask, I'll make a mature board. otherwise, it's not a big enough deal.

no offensive images. shipping pics are alright, as long as they're PG-13. again, I'll be the one to decide that, and I'm generally lenient. Don't post anything too huge for your sig or avvie though. that'll give Tera a headache [see section on giving Tera a headache]

no swearing. it just makes you look immature. if you absolutely have to, then at least start it out like f*** or s***...

don't ask for karma or any of that jazz. it's not that big a deal, but hey, apparently some people think it is.

no advertising. if you want to affiliate, there's a link. those who advertise will be shot. That includes in PMs. If anyone receives a PM with an advertisement, please report it to an admin.

no spamming, double posting, flaming, or any of that jazz. I'll be the one to define what flaming and spamming are, and I'm pretty lenient, so don't abuse me.

Don't give Tera a headache on the chat or I'll ban you all for a few minutes. also, please do not abuse the chat like the old on on a10 was, or I will have to remove it.


failure to comply with my demands rules will result in a warning [maybe more depending on the severity] and then banning if it gets too far. I'm nto going to be a Nazi about it, but we all know proper forum/chat ettiqutte, so let's use it.

a good way to sum it up is... is if you don't see me (Tera253) doing it, then you probably shouldn't either.

that said, enjoy the site.

[Christina]

Yes! The 10 word thing doesn't apply here. That was a dumb rule.

[Teᴙa253]

yeah, it was.

I believe when you have something to say, that it should be said, regardless of how short it is. as long as it stays on topic I'm fine with hearing it.

just don't abuse this privilege, otherwise I might have to add a code that enforces that rule or something similar.

~Tera~

[Christina]

Well, I hope(being my random self)that I dont anger the Tera, that's a fate no one would like to face.

O.o

[Teᴙa253]

yeah, otherwise I attack, like I did on a10.

but yeah, I summed myself up in that first paragraph. I'm just going to be like another member. the only difference is that I'll be working on the site as well as post, talk, etc.
~Tera~

[Christina]

It's pretty awesome that we get mini sprites under our rank.

[ZIE]

yeah thats prety cool

[firelordzuko]

i promise to accept the rules

but arent u gonna add a MAKE SURE U HUMILIATE AVATAR10 rule?

[windgale]

Well, I've gotta say, I'm glad your doing this different. The thing I thought was really horrible about A10 was that Tera had quadruplie the posts that Admin did. Isn't that a bit screwy? I mean, if a member puts more time int othe site them the ADMIN? That's an issue. Plus, Admin was never on the chat.

(I never followed the 10 word thing. Wasn't it Dark who posted it on the first place?)

"Screwy!" ~Miranda Cosgrove

[ZIE]

no tera had 70x more posts than admin. he only had one thousand

[windgale]

Wel leither way, tera your a genius.

[Christina]

Either it means he puts more time into the site, or he's a major spammer. JK.

[Teᴙa253]

well, I'm actually lagging behind a couple of people since I've been working on site things liek boards, skins, and ranks...

but rest assured I'll be back up to #1 in no time ^^

~Tera~

[Ryuzaki .]

stupid admin and his stupid gayyy rules .
he deserves to be burned in a fire.

[Christina]

Well, do you really think that it's severe as all that, Ryu?
