Phoenix Galactic Alliance - RULES AND REGULATIONS - FORUMS

01. Illegal Material - NOT ALLOWED, obviously!
----A. Warez, cracks, serials, how to get software free.
----This is a big no-no and you will be banned on the spot if you do it.
---- There is no second chance or chance of redemption from this.
----B. Pornography, nudity, or any images, posts or anything at all about this is prohibited.
----C. Don't give out nuclear launch codes on sites (hey, you have to be ready for every incursion, right?)
02. Posting Behavior
----A. Spam: Some type of meat product, but in this case it actually means the overuse of smilies, posting like an idiot (hay, sum1 giv mE sum uber advzice on modng my gamE), posting long lines of nothing but random characters, posting of tons of images, being off-topic (keep on the topic of the thread or you're dead meat), and pretty much anything that doesn't help anyone - and that's what spam is - useless.
----B. Flame Wars: Do this and you will be in deep doo-doo. I do not accept flaming on this site.
----C. Back-seat moderating: This is when someone believes they are a moderator and starts telling people on the site what to do. That is the job of the administrators. You may suggest that someone stop doing something, but we have the final say.
----D. Swearing: Prohibited. Do it and expect to be burnt. Remember there are younger people viewing these forums. If you swear, then you're going to be chewed up something bad.
03. I can change the rules at any time, officially or unofficially. Keep your eyes on this list of rules for changes, as ignorance is NO EXCUSE!!!
04. Reserved for more rules.

Also, may I add: no badgering the administrators, especially me. This isn't a large network here, but I will still make sure the rules are followed.

YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME WHEN I ANNOUNCE SOMETHING, AS IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL GET ON MY BAD SIDE. YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT!!!

*** THE RULES ARE UPDATED. READ AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING OR BE BANNED!!! ***

Ok, as you can see, I'm back. I just got back from my great break at Gettysburg and came home to find things very much not good here.

I thought this would be bad from the beginning, so I should have shot the topic down before it could be replied to - the issue in discussion, obviously, is Fleet Ops. We don't talk about that at all.

Some threads pertaining to it have been deleted. Thanks, Ryan, for the heads-up there. You may have saved us, for sure!!!

Well, without further adue, here is the new rule:

> Discussion that relates to anything flaming another modding team or another site, or any discussion whose title and/or subject or replies contains something that begins with 'fleet' and ends with 'ops' in any way is a bannable offense. Not one more person, NO MATTER WHO IT IS, can do this ever again. Flaming of ANY KIND is off-limits - whether it is a member and/or group of members on this site or any other site or team.

Do you understand me? (Because if you don't, you WILL eventually be banned).

Have a nice day!!!

One more thing:

No duplicate accounts. I think this may have been mentioned before.

[Chancellor_Elrond]

New Rule:

More or less not a new rule, but a new method.

This concerns browsing these forums.

If you wish to extend or collapse a category in order to find something more quickly, the '-' or '+' image on the right-hand side of the categories is the place you would click so that you can expand or collapse categories.

NEW RULE: I am above the law here. If I ban someone for what seems like no reason, I do have a reason.

Re-read and understood.
