The Chill-Out Zone Official Forum Rules & Guidelines - [MUST read before posting]

Below you will find a list of the official rules of AFL Arena. Any breaches of these rules on consecutive occasions will be warned, and if continued - banned.
_____________________________________________________________________

Please do not spam the forum. Flooding the forum, aka spamming, aka useless posting that only takes up time and space just to get your post count up, id not permitted. Always before you post, ask yourself if the message is necessary. Always remember, it's not about the amount of posts you have that matters, its the quality of your posts.

Please avoid advertising at all times. Advertising in your avatar, your signature, through PM's, or on the forum is not permitted. PM's (Private Messages) are 100% private, but in an ideal world, an honest member - also known as a good member, will report the breach to a staff member, and the offender will be punished accordingly.

No pornography/nudity. We think this rule is very self explanatory. If you are into pornography, that's fine, but the moment you start sharing it with others on the forum, is the moment a permanent ban will be placed. There is a time and a place for porn, and its not on this forum, under any circumstance.

Please do not abuse fellow members. We understand that this is a discussion forum, which obviously means people are going to have different opinions, so there may be some disagreements or arguments at times, and we completely accept and understand that. But that's all well and good until you start attacking and abusing other members, doing this will not help your presence at this forum.

We do not accept racism. People from a whole different range of countries have access to this forum. Any racist comments of any sort will be dealt with accordingly.

Please try and avoid SMS talk. We accept the occasional 'r' and 'u', but when it gets to the stage where its hard to understand what you're saying, you will be informed and encouraged to stop.

Please do not disrespect staff members. They're people too, and at the end of the day they're only doing their job. If you do have a complaint against a staff member, do not post it in the forum, PM an administrator in detail of what you think the problem is.

Always use the search function. Before posting a new topic, please search to see if the topic already exists. Having multiple of the same topics just takes up time and space.

These rules subject to change, so please check regularly.
