The freedom forums forums is committed to have a safe social forum.

1. No pornographic AT ALL! Whether it's censored or not, it's not allowed.

2. Flaming is not allowed. We are entitled to have our opinions. Flaming will not prove your point.

3. Swearing is not allowed. However, saying the e word "hell" "damn," or similar is fine, providing it's used lightly.

4. Advertising other forums is not allowed. You are only allowed to advertise websites that you made yourself.

5. Going off-topic is not allowed AT ANYTIME! If you have nothing relevant to a topic, don't post it at all.

6. Grammar is mandatory! If you have problems with English, do your best. However tlking liek tis iz not acceptable.

7. Respect the staff members. DO NOT disrespect the staff when posting. If have something to say about them, send it to them via PM.

8. You may not post topics that hasn't been posted in 28 days. (4 weeks) The only exceptions are writings and stickies.

9. You may only have one account in freedom rights. If you forgot your password, try to recover your password. Making another account to evade a ban will be permaban and original account will move on the next level of banning. (Minimum punishment: 2 weeks)

10. All staff decisions are final. If a staff says you broken the rules, you broken the rules. We do not have an appeals court in this forum. Just learn from your ban and move on.

Repeat offenses: Ban length doubled, unless otherwise stated.

Ban evasion: Making another account to avoid a ban. Permaban on Evasion Account and ban length whatever applies to it on original. Evade three times Permaban on original account.

Backseat modding: Also known as mini-modding. Posting "Your breaking the rules," or "This should be lock," on a topic will get you a 48-hour ban. Use the report function or PM a Mod, Global Mod or Admin.

Baiting: If it's obvious that you're posting just to "test the rules" and see what you can get away with, or if you're very obviously trying to get yourself banned, expect the ban length to be longer from the original offense.

Flaming: Flaming is a personal attack against another user. Name-calling and insulting are examples of flaming. Saying why your opinion is this is fine. But attacking someone's opinion is unacceptable.

Quoting: If you quote a post that breaks the rules, expect a ban also, with the same length. (Quoting flame: 48 hour, quoting pr0n: Whatever the ban applies.)

Spamming: Posting random letters, attacking, repeated post, etc.

Spambots: DO NOT REPLY TO SPAMBOT TOPICS! Instead, just report it.

Ok, that's all I can think of. If any admin has anymore, feel free to edit.

Have fun in the freedom forums.
