Rules READ BEFORE POSTING!

RULES
- Chatting
Chatting is not allowed on these forums. This includes creating threads with no other purpose than to chat, and also hijacking other threads to chat with somebody. If you just want to talk to people, go to a chat room, and use PMs for personal matters.

- SPAM
SPAM means Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages, and is not allowed on these forums. Spamming is any kind of pointless and/or out-of-context posts, like when you post nothing but a smiley, post without adding anything useful (like when a question has already been answered and you say: "Oh, I didn't know that!"), when you post only one word like 'lol' or 'hi' or post multiple times in a row without good reason, or when you ask a question in a thread that was about a different topic (eg. there's a thread about premium, and you just randomly ask how to make a poll). If you need to ask a question, make a new topic, don't hijack other threads!

- Replying to SPAM
Do not be unnecessarily rude when replying to spam posts. The spammer might be a newbie, who doesn't know much about forums yet. One (1) polite reply telling the spammer what he/she is doing wrong is usually enough. If you see that somebody has already replied and said everything necessary, there is no need to make another reply. Usually there is no need to report posts or PM mods, as they will see the post by themself and deal with it as soon as they can. However, if the spam isn't dealt with for some time, you may want to contact a mod in case they've overlooked it.

- Questions
Please read all FAQs and forums carefully to see if your question has already been answered somewhere. Only make a new thread if you can't find an answer anywhere.

- Grammar
Please pay attention to your spelling and grammar. That also includes correct capitals and punctuation. We understand that everyone makes mistakes and some have trouble writing in English, but at least try to write correctly.

- Chatspeak
This is allowed in moderation. We can tolerate a couple of shortened words like 'u' instead of 'you' and 'r' instead of 'are' (though we would prefer if you didn't use them), but not entire posts written in incomprehensible chatspeak gibberish. Remember that this forum doesn't have a character limit so there is no real need to shorten your words.

- Gravedigging
Gravedigging means posting in old topics that have exhausted their purpose, and it is generally not allowed. Always check the post dates; if the last post was made more than a month ago, you probably shouldn't post. One exception to this rule is doll threads - if you are coming back from a hiatus, you are allowed and encouraged to bring up your old doll thread instead of creating a new one.
