Rules
- Do not spam in any forum
The general defention of spam on ezboard or any forum includes:
1. Posting topics or replies that are a few words long, contain nothing but emoticons, and/or contain gibberish or nonsense words
2. Posting topics or replies more than once
Spam is not only annoying and frustrating to other members, it clogs the boards and increases the cost of running it. Spam topics generally cause other members to ignore you or become bored with your topics. Excessive violations will result in supsension.
- Post topics in the proper forums
This one is pretty self explanatory. In other words, don't put a vampire roleplay in the lion king forum, don't put a custom title request in the general discussion forum, and don't put a discussion on movies in the newbie forum, etc. If you do post a topic in the wrong forum by accident, you can immediately request to have it moved. If you don't request, an admin or mod will delete it.
- Do not flame anyone
I know that you aren't going to get along with everyone, because that is the nature of human existence to have problems with others, but don't insult them. If you have a private problem, send them a polite PM and try to settle it. If it is a problem regarding to the forum, ask an admin or mod for help. Flames will be deleted and flamers will be banned.
- Nothing above PG goes on the board
Basically, try to keep your topics as clean as possible. No heavy profanity, no sex, no yiff, no excessive violence and gore. A good rule of thumb is this: if you wouldn't mention it in front of your grandmother, don't mention it here.
- Image Size To be kind I do not limit the size of images to 10x10 icons and 50x50 profile pics, but I can if the size of images becomes excessively large. Icons should be small, no larger than 50x50. Your profile picture should be no larger than 150x150 max, give or take a few pixels. This keeps loading time down for those who have slow browsers, and it helps keep topics from becoming so wide that you have to scroll right and left to read it all. I will limit sizes if I have to!
- Signiture Length
This is one of those things that isn't set in stone; it's more of a guideline. See, many members, especially those who roleplay, hate having to scroll down through half a page of pictures and text in your signiture when trying to find a post. Yes, we all would love to see your art, but that is what the art gallery forum is for. Try to keep your signitures small enough that they are not obtrusive. The size of your sig and the size of your average post (especially roleplay) should be about the same. If your signiture is three times longer than your post, it is time to make it smaller.
- Role play
For roleplayers, we have the roleplay sections. Post your roleplay topic in the section that best fits. If you have a crossover roleplay (i.e. Lord of the Rings and Lion King together) you would be safest posting it in the General Roleplay forum. OOC (out of character) discussions should be kept to a bare minimum. A good roleplayer uses both dialogue, action, and detail in their posts. If you are not sure about preferred post length for a specific roleplay, either ask the starter or see how long they made their post. Here are a few abbreviations that are common: OOC- out of character; IC- in character; BIC- back in character; RP- roleplay; char- character; AW- all welcome; ATTN- attention
