1: Spam: Spam is when you post anything that doesn't have the slightest thing in common with the main topic, or post a 4 or less word post. Smiley Spam falls under this as well.
Smiley Spam is when someone posts more then 5 smileys in a post, with no other content besides the smilies, the content is off topic, or it falls under the Spam category.
An example of Smiley Spam is this:
cool!
An example or regular Spam is this:
cool!
Or:
horrible!
2: Double posting: This is when you post something, then post something else within the same topic in one day, without anyone else's post between them. This can be aggravating and derails the topic when Admins or Mods need to warn you over and over and over.
3: Pesting. If you pest a Pro Skinner or Pro Modder to release your project, or PM them constantly to have them make a project for you, or pest them to release their W.I.P project, you will be banned. Not only does this fill their inbox, which an admin or mod may need to use to send a PM to said skinner, but it also annoys the receiver when he/she revives PM after PM about "release the mod already!!!"
4: Insult. If you use foul words against members, you will be warned and banned for a week. If the person feels insulted, he/she needs to immediately contact a Mod, or a Admin.
5: Special Rank insult. If you gravely insult members, or a Special Rank Member ( Admin, Mod, Pro Skinner,´Pro Modder ) you will be banned for 3 months and be given a trial period afterwards to clean up your act. Repeat offenders will be terminated.
6: Racism. If you insult Black, Asian, Canadian, Australian, American, Brazillian, Samoan or any type of race that people can be, you will be IP banned. This is a grave action, and here this is not allowed.
7: Porn. If you post any pictures, or flash pictures showing sexual actions, you will be immediately IP banned. This is one of the worst actions in a site, and here we do not take lightly to this. Watch your step, as erotica and other such pornographic types fall under this rule as well.
Also, there's a separate set of Chatbox rules. These are:
1. No harassing other members.
2. No acts of discrimination, PERIOD.
3. No mouthing off or disrespecting any power figures.
4. Absolutely NO disability jokes. This will result in an immediate ban. We will not tolerate this, as I (Gojiboy) happen to be a disabled person.
5. No posting any inappropriate items, like porn, racist or sexist pictures or anything mocking any historic event or any historic person who was killed unfairly. (e.g: Posting a picture of Anne Frank with the subtitle "Hide and Seek Champion!" will result in a warning, if ignored a week ban. If this is done twice, it'll be a month. Three times, you're IP banned.)
6. No advertising on the CB. This does not apply to topics on the PGM Studios Forums or sites a member of the PGM Forums is affiliated with or a member of, however.
7. Smiley spam is prohibited.
Smiley Spam is when someone posts more then 5 smileys in a post, with no other content besides the smilies, the content is off topic, or it falls under the Spam category.
An example of Smiley Spam is this:
cool!
8. Remember to always be courteous to any other member, and respect any females/homosexuals/disabled/immigrant members. Breaking of this rule/if a break of the rule is PM'ed to an Admin by any member will result in any Admin on the site sending you a PM reminding you about the site rules. If ignored, I will personally send a PM telling you to stop the action immediately or action will be taken. If ignored again, an Admin will ban you.
9. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT EVER TRY TO REPORT AN ADMIN OR A MOD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. If an authority figure(s) is/are acting disrespectful to a rule, a court will be held in the Chat in order to decide the punishment of the offending person(s). In order to get the court to begin, you must PM an Admin or Mod, and provide evidence via screencap of the offense as it happened. Remember this well, for we will not take it to court if evidence is not present to support your claims.
Keep all of these rules in mind, for if you do not follow them, you may be banned swiftly. We will NOT tolerate you if you break any of the above rules.
~Goji, Dark, jplm and mapusaurus51, your admins.
