- Do NOT Register your account name as a name that already exists, especially if it belongs to a Sonic the Hedgehog character. If a character has a name from the games, you are not allowed to register this name on our forums. I.E. If the name 'Blaze the Cat' already exists, DO NOT change it slightly, so you can have the same name, like B.l.a.z.e. T.h.e. C.a.t.
- Because this is a message board, it is not AIM or MSN or Y!. So, speaking in AOL Speak/leet/slang letters will not help you here. It will most likely become a problem, and things won't work out.
- Harrassment of ANY form is not welcome on these forums. Harassing another person, especially an Official Character is grounds for suspension. Do not do it. Harassment does not just limit to the forums, but as well as Personal Messaging systems, such as MSN. If you happen to have an Official Character's contact information, the same rules apply there, as they do here. Do not harass them!
- Try to keep one-word posts down, as well. They are uninformative, and serve no purpose. Not to mention, they will make people upset, particularly if they are off-topic.
- Try not to go off-topic in other topics, either. If some topic is being talked about, then you turn around and state something else, completely ignoring the other topic, it will not be looked kindly upon.
- Posting in every single topic in existence will not help your image, either. Have some courtesy for leaving some topics dead, because they are too old. You can tell how old something is, by reading the last date of the last post.
- Don't. Flame. Period. Stating your opinion is okay, but you do not berate, take down, or harm someone else because of your beliefs. If you want to talk about something in a negative fashion, BE PREPARED. Be prepared to back up your claims, or don't post anything. At All.
- Inappropriate Material. Consider yourself warned. Pornography, 'Hentai' or any other images of the sort are not allowed to be posted here. Keep in mind the theme of the board, and the users. Posting is considered in your Avatar, Signature, or any other forums.
- Warez/ROMs/MP3s/Illegal Material. This is not a Warez sharing community, so posting links to Warez or sites pertaining to Warez should not be posted. ROMs, as we are a Sonic Community, should not be posted on the boards, though discussions regarding ROM 'alterations' will be tolerated. Music discussion is allowed, and you may post links to songs, though file sharing would be more considerate over personal file sending. Other Illegal Material such as Serials or Cracks should be kept away, too.
