Overview
We work hard to keep our forum a neat and healthy place. To do so, however, requires a set of rules one must follow. The rules have been read and reread for reasonability, and we trust that anyone can abide by all of them. Punishments for breaking them can be a simple warning to a permanent ban from this forum. Please read them carefully, for on this website they are considered the law.
General Rules
We trust that everyone will be able to follow this set of rules easily, seeing as they reflect social morals from real life.
