These are the basic forum rules. A thread of whoms content is deemed in violation of these rules may result in an infraction to the author, if deemed necessary. The exact amount of infraction will depend on the rule violated. Habitual accumulation of infraction points will result disciplinary action for a varying length of time. Please note that not all violations will result in an infraction. Although there are set warnings for a violation for moderators to follow, they may alter the infraction amount to fit the needs of the post, and my increase or decrease the amount based on the members history. Whether an infraction is issued, the exact amount of infraction or disciplinary time is at the moderators discretion. Some will result in a warning (no infraction given) while others will result in immediate ban. IF YOU FEEL THAT A MODERATOR HAS TREATED YOU UNFAIRLY, PLEASE NOTIFY ME IMMEDIATELY. If you have been ban unjustly, feel free to contact myself or Neon.
General Rules

Signature:
All signatures are allowed as long as they are within the guidelines of size. Advertisements to any sites deemed to be illegal, immoral, competitors or not suited for the general public (porn, warez, etc.) will result in removal of the link, or content, and possibly warning (no infractions may be given on first offense except for strong cases of violation, such as porn, or illegal sites.) If behavior continues removal of signature rights and/or infraction/ban.

Content:
Racist, sexiest or discriminatory remarks not seen as funny or amusing towards target party, race, or gender will not be tolerated. If obviously offensive, removal of content. If directed as an insult, there is the potential to get banned. Some jokes maybe accepted, but telling this jokes nonstop will not be excepted.

Foul Language:
Please use minimal foul language, as some people do not wish to read curse words and what not.

Private Messages:
Annoying, repeated or uncalled for PMs will result in a warning, possible infraction and/or revocation of PM rights.

Posting:
Any thread not related to the forum topic will be monitored. All topics are allowed in the off topic section, in which case any reply not related to the thread above. Although gradual change in topic will just result in the topic being split. Spam is also any thread or post made only to raise your post count. Please know, that if you do this, an administrator will simply lower your post count.

Advertisement: Please don't advertise in any thread, including the general, unless an advertising forum has been created or it relates to topic. YOU MAY ADVERTISE IN YOU SIGNATURE AS LONG AS IT IS WITHIN THE GUIDELINES STATED UNDER THE SIGNATURE RULES. Violating this rule will result in removal of thread or post. Possible infraction. If an administrator deems that your account serves solely as a advertising device YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE REMOVED!

Insulting:
Offensive remarks to leaders or members: Removal of content and infraction.

Discrimination:
Any racist or discriminatory remarks with out obvious sarcasm. You may say remarks about groups, such as governments, political leaders and such things, but not other clans in Op7, AVA, and any other games that we play.. Result: potential ban.

Double Posting:
If you are replying to a thread that you have replied to, and no one has made a post since you have, edit your first one, don't make another one. In short, we should not see two replies from the same author next to each other. Result: Merging of the two replies. Habitual offense: Same, with a warning issued.

Impersonation: Attempting to lead others to believe that you are someone of power (administrator, moderator, etc.) PLEASE KNOW THAT WE WILL NEVER REQUEST YOUR PASSWORD. Result: IP banning.

If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Admin.

Thank you.
