Rating;
Though not specifically stated, this site is to be around a PG-13 site... Please try to stay around that age range. Please. That includes pictures as well...

Respect;
Be respectful to everyone on the forum. You are expected to treat one another like equals and not trash. We’re all friends here.

Consistency;
Don’t join and then never come back. Don’t join and only post two or three times. You are expected to check in at least once a week to keep up with your posts, keep up with what’s going on. We want this place to be active, not deserted, so if you can’t do that, then why bother joining in the first place?

Grammar;
Of course not all of us are English teachers, but we do have some minimum knowledge of grammar, whether we’re third (3) graders or twelfth (12) graders. In other words, we’re expecting you to at least spell correctly (use spellcheck) and punctuate. You know, capitalizing and such? Periods, commas, question marks, exclamation points, etc.

Color;
Refrain from “blinding” your posts. Colors that we can’t see make reading your post(s) difficult. And that means we probably won’t even bother reading it and will simply tell you to change the color. Frustrating for both you and us.

Bolding;
Don’t bold your whole post. This is completely pointless and just as frustrating as blinding your post.

Capitalizing;
Don't capitalize your whole post. Capitalizing can be just as annoying as Bolding or Blinding.

Sizing;
As the name suggests, don’t make your font extremely big or extremely small. If you ever feel like you need to size things in a post, at most, go up or down one size.

Administrator;
DO NOT ASK. You are appointed by the Head Administrator. You may also be voted into the position, asking will simply lower your chances of becoming one. You are simply expected to do more for the site. Which generally means helping to keep the site up and running smoothly.
