BRAND NEW FORUM RULES AS OF 11/11/06 - MUST READ

ACTIVITY

Here at DXX we're not as strict as some e-feds when it comes to being active, but we do have one requirement. If you are a part of the e-fed you need to roleplay fairly regularly to ensure that you keep your character. Accounts will only be deleted if they have less than 10 posts and have been inactive for a 30 day period, so most people won't worry about their account being deleted if they're going to be inactive for a long period of time.

SPAMMING

Other than in the Games Board (within reason) topics that are spam will be locked and people making spam posts will be reminded of this rule. This includes making topics about your 100th post and replying to a topic with "lol" or anything else irrelevant to a conversation.

SPOILERS

When making a new thread that involves spoilers please make sure you title your topic appropriately. For example putting "Batista wins World Title!!" spoils the match before a person has even read the topic, so titling it "Summerslam results" means people don't have to read it if they don't know the results yet. Also, if you want to include spoilers in a thread please use the spoiler button - the smiley with the big red sign.

CONTENT

Please realize that some members of the board view this board from work, school and public places and a lot of members are minors, so please DO NOT post nudity on the boards under any circumstances. Also when roleplaying please do not involve scenes of a graphic or indecent manner - keep it PG-13.

Illegal discussions (providing free download links to MP3s/games/Photoshop for example) isn't allowed here by law, so topics on that subject will be locked.

SWEARING

In the forum and chat box most swear words have been automatically censored, so if you do feel the need to use bad language it is acceptable to do so as long as you're not directly insulting another member. Try not to use too much bad language in your roleplays, the really extreme words are never used in real life so they're not necessary here either.

RESPECT

Courtesy is a must here, so be polite to your fellow members. If someone is being rude to you contact a member of staff about it instead of retaliating, otherwise a war of words will inevitably break out. Also remember that DXX is a forum primarily for a wrestling roleplaying game, so DO NOT go to a moderator or General Manager and complain about losing a match on the e-fed. In short, respect your fellow members and they will do the same to you.

BANNING

There's been a lot of talk about banning and now with some added features to the board this should become less likely. With that said there are still some guidelines. Posting anyone's personal information (home address, telephone number etc) will result in an immediate ban. Continually arguing with another member in the boards will result in a warning Also, becoming a nuisance on the boards by just making pointless or irritating posts constantly will also result in a warning, as will advertising via PM. Spamming and Trolling will be watched very closely and if you are out of line, a Mod will contact you with a warning and maybe a temporary ban if necessary

Please note that in rare situations, A permanent ban from the board may happen. Trust me when I say this is a very extreme occurrence and is not something the people in the authority position want to do. Our goal is to have a board that is usable by all members that choose to frequent this board.

IMAGES

Images in your sig that exceed 500w x 300w will be deleted from the board as they stretch the page and cause havoc for dial-up users. If there is a image that you think needs to be seen that is bigger than these dimensions please post a link to that image. Also don't use too much space in your sig area, two images should be enough.

BUMPING

Please do not bump old threads. This means that if a thread is older than about a month it's usually dead and it doesn't need to be revived, people have said all they need to say in most cases. Generally if a topic is not on the first page of a board it doesn't need to be replied to.

If you have any questions you're welcome to contact a staff member any time you like.
