Flaming: % depends

Posting in wrong board: 5%
Keep the right stuff in the right boards. 'Nuff said.
Overuse Of Swearing: 20%
I don't mind the occasional swear, but don't overdo it. 'Nuff said.
Topic Hi-jacking: 10%
Make your own topic, don't ruin someone else's. Hi-Jacking a topic is if someone asks a question, then you post asking your own question. Not allowed/tolerated. Bad.
Image Stealing: 80% and removal of image from your profile.
Please do not steal images from peoples' shops. You MUST pay for them. People worked hard to create those images. DON'T STEAL!!!
- Right Click is disabled, % increased by 40% - Reason, if you are really bypassing the right click just to get a picture there is no reason for it, not allowed and the right click being disabled is there for a REASON.
Smiley Overuse: 5%
A few are fine, but don't over do it. Smileys are located in posts, and can be made via Quick replies too. Overusing them results in modification/post deletion and 5% added to your Warning level.
Overuse 1337 Speak or Chat Talk: 5-10%
Use your words. Nobody's rushing you, so take the time to spell things out. Bad spelling or grammar aren't penalized, just don't go around saying 'lol i ttly pwnd u guise olololo'. 1337 is leet speak, like saying '|\|0085 4r3 cr4p!' A little is fine, as long as you translate it.
Multiple Accounts: Deletion of each extra, 50% each.
One is enough for anybody. 'Nuff said. No extra accounts.
Posting nudity/hentai: Post deletion, Permanent ban.
NO. Hentai is Anime porn, which is nudity, which is bad. Big no-no.
Revealing personal info: Post deletion and 20%
Safety is usually a good thing. This includes live chat. Big no-no, as people can hack. Bad. Bad. Bad.
Overuse of Numbers in name:
Please do not overdo it, a few is alright but half of your name isn't. Like having 'Nick182737733' is bad, change it immediately.
Starting a Thread titled "IDEA!" or "HELP!":
There is an idea thread. There is a help board. Use them. 'Nuff said.
Impersonating someone other than you:
This is another big no no, We WILL find out so don't even try it. *Cough* No impersonating*Cough*
Reviving an old Thread or Topic:
Please DO NOT revive an old thread or Topic, it is unneccesary. 'Nuff said.
Name: No Complaining/Trolling
Risk: Post deletion, and 10%
Description/Clarification: Do not complain about these forums, the staff have worked very hard, and they aren't going to be happy if you're saying garbage like 'Dan-Ball SUX i culd ttaly make a bttr forum hen this Crap.' Such is not only complaining, but also spam and flaming. If you really have beef with these forums, put it in About The Site, and keep a civil tongue there. Also keep to the proper format(Located below), point out the problem, and share a possible solution that'll help the forums.
Trolling is just as bad, even worse, than complaining. Trolling means whining excessively about everything, and acting like everything is horrible and everyone is so mean to you. DON'T TROLL. It's not getting you anywhere, and you're just making yourself look like a baby. Failure to avoid Trolling will result in post deletion and 10% added to your Warning level. This is also whining, complaining, etc. just to get attention.
When you try to start arguments it is also considered trolling.
Advertising Illegal Sites: IP BAN
Don't advertise Illegal sites, I don't care about them nor do I want them. I do not want to suffer for others actions.
I CAN be sued.
- This goes for all other Illegal activity in this forum.
Advertising Sites: WARNING
Please be careful with posting other forums unless they are to help people.
We do not like competition and we would rather you not try to steal members from this forum. We do not need a competition with another site.
Pertaining to reproductive activity Harassment
Risk: INSTANT BAN
Pertaining to reproductive activity harassment is anything to sexually insult another member. We know of this behavior and we don't tolerate it. We don't care whether you're joking or not, ANY Pertaining to reproductive activity harassment will earn you instant, and most likely permanent, ban. Again, we don't tolerate such behavior. Saying anything like "u queer", etc, is and will be deemed as Pertaining to reproductive activity harassment.
Use of Social Minorities as an Insult or derogatory term
Risk: 20% warning for every 3 infractions
Using any social minority as an insult, whether jokingly or otherwise will be punished. That includes calling something gay, retarded, or "black". Use of these words as insults or derogatory terms offends all members of said party. We are willing to be lenient in the use of "retarded", as it is commonly used and is a hard habit to get rid of, but using it multiple times regardless of warnings will result in disciplinary action. This applies on both the forums and chat.~Edit/VIROS
Messing with security system: 3 day ban and 50% warning

One month ban

Fifth offense:
