Thanks for the patience

* Introduction

We have a "Introduction" topic in the discussions category, so if you are new on the site, go there and say hi. While you are at it, talk a bit about yourself so we can know you better. (and bring some goodie, we like goodies XD)

* "Thank You"

This site has a feature that AP doesn't. the "Thank You" feature. If you like one work, comment or anything that other user does, feel free to press the thank you button. its located on the top of the post

* General Rules

i wont bother to write this all again, so copy paste from AP (a bit changed of course)

Do not post non-work safe images, unless they are part of artwork you have created. Even then, they may be removed.
- No linking to porn/hentai.
- No linking to warez/emule
- No linking to copyright infirnging material, such as fansubs.

* Member Status

-> Kahuna - Site Administrator + Developer
-> Stalkerator - Site Moderator
-> Stalker - Normal member
-> Silent Stalker - Mute member, if you done anything against the rules this is what you get. Repeat the infraction and you will be banned (take this as one warning). The user can't post anywhere, but can see what is going on inside the forum. This is a temporary status
-> Banned member - Last resort of punishment to an user. if you repeated the mistake you will get this status. Depending of the infraction it can go from temporary to permanent

* Avatars / "Profile Images" policy

Please don't put H images or any kind of sexual content on these two locations. Or you will be forced to remove them.

2. Discussion Forum Rules

* Creating one Discussion

You are free to create one discussion topic at anytime you want. However if the discussion starts to get too "hot" it will be blocked immediately. And so any attempt of creating one new discussion with same or similar topic, will be blocked on sight.

* Creating a Poll

You are free to create a Poll anytime, however mind its content. Keep in mind to create a poll with 2 or more choices.

Certain Poll might be considered as Vs topics. However they are permitted (if the poll topic is stupid, the poll is blocked on sight) but if any sign of flaming / trolling appear, topic will be locked up and user warned

* Forbidden Thread Types

- No Vs / Comparative posts, like "Which is better **** or ***** ?
- No Personal questioning threads ex. "What do you **** ?" / "Which is your favorite ***** ?"
- Recommendation Threads "which should i ****?"

* Answering one discussion

Always try to answer to an discussion with more than one word, or better, with more than one sentence. That will provide talking business preventing the topic from dying

* Discussion Rules

Resuming what is next. Behave and don't SPAM, be civil at anytime
(again quote from AP faq, some changes were made)

--Language
English ONLY, if you post anything in forgein language, post with its translation
--Trolling
We all have a bad day sometimes, but keep it off the board, attacking other members is just silly.
No feeding trolls. All they want is attention. If you ignore them they will go away.
--Flaming
No flaming. Be civil at all times.
--Language
No excess swearing. Post only in legible English.
--Spam
People are free to post as much as they want as long as it is relevant to the thread.
--Reviving Old Threads
If the thread is dead, do not revive it without good reason, this is counted as spamming, you are free to create a new similar thread if you feel there is something new to contribute, although there are exceptions, exercise common sense on this one!
--Shouting
No shouting (posting ALL IN CAPITALS).
--Off-Topic
Please always stay on topic, if you ever want to refer something out of the thread, please refer that you will go off-topic
--Emot Spam
Do not SPAM emoticons, bunnies are sensitive creatures, if you abuse them, they will bite back

* Reporting

We are all human, so some mistake might skip us. So if you find some irregularity on the Forum, please mail any of the administration members above indicated.

* Deletion Policy

-> Spam. Spam is pointless, and so it will have heavy hand in this forum
-> Banal, un-interesting or stupid content.
-> Trolling. Trolling is the posting of abusive, offensive or derogatory content.
-> Foreign languages without translation.

The FAQ will be updated as the site is being constructed. So always keep one eye on it.

Best regards and don't get banned, the Stalkerators
