New members are adviced to familiarize themselves with these rules before posting.

Basic rules

- Members are expected to remain calm and reasonable in any discussion regardless of provocation. Offenses and abuses should be reported directly to the Forum Staff by means of the “Report” link displayed beneath each post. Backseat moderating is not appreciated.

- Directions from a Member of Staff must be complied with at all times. Should you wish to lodge a complaint about any such directions, please contact either Ottens, administrator, or The Drum Major, chief moderator.

- Racism, homophobia, stalking, trolling, flaming, or otherwise insulting or offensive behavior is forbidden and may result in a direct ban from the community at the Administration's discretion. Posts may not depict nor describe illegal acts or materials, nor contain linkage to external locations containing such materials.

Rules regarding avatars and signatures

- Avatars may not exceed 100 by 110 pixels in width and height and 30 KB in size, nor be animated.
