NEW RULES & REGULATIONS

Rules and Regulations

Seeing the number of crimes increasing at Avatar/Signature Shop, I had to update the rules list once again. Please do not ignore these rules because if you do, you are the one who is going to be in trouble.

Once you hit the thank you button for this post, it means you are aware of the rules of the section and if broken any you will be highly penalized

Your Warning Level will be increased to 20% if you are done seeing the following things.

1. PLAGIARISM.

Plagiarism is cutting out parts from other sigmakers signature, taking the credit of someone else's work. In short Plagiarism is taking the work of another person and claiming that it is yours.

No Warning PMs will be sent, but definitely you will be given a chance to defend yourself. If you are found guilty then Warning will be raised.

2. No illegal content is allowed on IF

Any material seen that is po*nographic, sexually explicit, graphically violent, visually offensive, and derogatory, your WL will be immediately raised without an explanation.

3. No flaming (inflammatory/insulting speech)

If you are seen attacking, bashing or targeting another member you warnings will also be raised. Any speech or inference, direct or indirect, which constitutes a personal attack against another member, is prohibited.

4. Chatting in galleries is not allowed

You can post comment on the signature/icons posted in a member's gallery. But replies which have nothing to do with the topic are considered as spamming. We have Chat Clubs /Private Message option where you can continue with your random conversation.

If any member is found breaking the rules (above) then please report / PM the AS DEV TEAM, actions will be taken instantly and your names will not be given out.

Rules are rules and it is same for DEV TEAM members as well as NON DEV TEAM members. If rules are broken then serious actions will be taken. Understanding these rules is the responsibility of the user only. It might look a lot but this for the goodwill of this forum. Excuses for not knowing the rules will not be accepted. This includes claims about being a "too new to have read the rules". The rules apply equally to everyone, old members and new ones.

Please do not take this thread as a boring rule book, all we want is a friendly atmosphere for Avi/siggy section.

Cheers,
