Laying down some forum rules for the unjustified. And for the users who would like to pull a Huzaifa and Panda96:
Forum Rules----------------------
SpammingAny pointless thread/post.
Making threads such as, but not limited to, "Woot my post count is..." , "Why is the server down?" , or "Hi guys, what up?" will not be tolerated. Spamming will result in you receiving an infraction, and your thread being closed/deleted.
Multiple spam will result in a 5 day ban.
FlamingDo not flame others on the Forums, Visitor Messages, or Private Messages.
Everyone here deserves respect. If you have nothing better to say than something offensive, then don't say it.
Do not start arguments over the Forums. Arguments will be stopped quickly and the users involved will receive infractions
Double PostingThis means posting two or more posts one after another.
If you need to post something else, click the edit button and add it.
If you double post, you will be given an infraction.
Profane and Harmful ContentDo not post threads with profanity directed towards another user or subject negatively.
If you post anything with hurtful profanity, you will receive an infraction. Repeated offenders may result in a ban, depending on the degree of it.
Do not post any links containing adult content, death, or harmful files. Doing so, will result in a permanent ban from the forums. No exceptions.
You are not allowed to discuss any malicious subjects such as DDoSing, RATing, etc. You are also not allowed to discuss anything against the server rules.
PlagiarismIf you are caught stealing someone's work you will have your thread/post deleted and your account banned for 48 hours. If caught doing again, it will result in a permanent ban.
GravediggingGravedigging is when you post on a topic that has not been posted on for over two weeks.
This is not allowed, because if a thread hasn't been posted on in two weeks or more, it's considered a dead topic. Look at the last post on a thread before you post towards the top left corner, if the last post says 2 weeks or more, don't post on that thread.
If you are caught gravedigging, you will receive an infraction. You will get caught if you gravedig a topic, trust me.
Note: These sections are exempt from this rule, and can be posted on at any time:
- Forum games
- Debates
- Staff Biographies
- Threads that are stickied
- Goals and Achievements
- News and Update threads that are still on the homepage
Advertisement / WebsitesAdvertisement is allowed only in signatures, and must not be posted on the forums.
Please remember all other rules are to still be followed and any inappropriate sites will result in you becoming ban.
DiscriminationDiscrimination towards anyone on the forums is strictly forbidden. You will receive the appropriate punishment if you post anything regarding discrimination in Private Messages, Visitor Messages, Picture Comments, etc.
Examples of Discrimination:
-Racism/Xenophobia
-Religious Intolerance
-Sexism
Impersonation of OthersDo not impersonate ProIonic Staff or anyone else.
If you impersonate someone else you will be permanently banned from the Forums.
Sexual HarassmentSexual harassment of any sort is not at all tolerated here at ProIonic.
Joking around with this is not tolerated due to the fact that some people will be genuinely and legitimately offended by this.
This results in an infraction/ban depending on the severity of it.
Signatures and AvatarsDon't put inappropriate content in your signature or avatar. This is a clean community, and we would like to keep it that way.
If you feel you need inappropriate pictures or words in your signature or avatar, tell us now so we can get rid of you.
Also if you're caught using other peoples avatars or signatures without their permission it shall be removed and you will be given a warning.
Evasion of Punishment(s)Users who evade any sort of punishment that they were given are not welcome here at ProIonic. If you have been given a punishment such as a ban or a moderation on your posts, you must serve it until it is finished. This includes but is not limited to significantly making new forum accounts.
BaitingUsers who bait other users into breaking other rules will have action taken against them. If a user provokes another user, and the other user retaliates, the fault is on the original user for provoking them. This rule will range from a forum mute to a forum ban depending on the severity.
PornographyContent of a pornographic nature (i.e nudity) can
not be posted on these forums, if you'd like to show your girlfriends nude pictures, go to a pornhub forum or something.
Power of AuthoritySimilar to the game rule, if a Head Administrator says something, it is a final decision. It is irreversible and failure to comply with it will be met with proper measures of punishment. There is no way to reverse this decision. Members who break this rule will be punished and a warning is not to be issued, unless the administrator feels it should be given.
False ReportsUsers who make reports that are false or blatantly improper will be punished. This is not limited to just the forums, because this rule also stretches to the server and is now an official server rule. Reports can be from post reports to server reports. False reports at all will not be tolerated and offenders will be punished for wasting the time of the staff.
Website LinksWhen posting on our forums, links that you provide must go to what the link entitles.
If your link says [url].google.com[/url], we expect it to take us to [url]google.com[/url].
All Server Rules apply.
Spam PostPosting useless posts several times continuously will in fracture your account with a punishment, whether it be a ban or a mute. Spam posts such as "omg k", "lol k". Please refrain from using less than 5 words when posting, 3 at a minimum.
