The Offical Shovelbox Forums

Alright. This is a simple request here. Follow these rules.
It's not hard. There aren't even that many of them.
By making a post anywhere on these forums you are agreeing to follow these rules and to accept any punishment given for breaking them.

1) No spamming. You know what spamming is. DON'T DO IT.
2) No flaming. See rule #1 for more details.
3) No advertising anything in posts or private messages. In signatures is fine, but nowhere else.
4) No double posting. Bumping is not allowed on this forum. Ever.
5) No text-speak or leet-speak. We wont be Grammar Nazis, but at least spell words correctly. In order to discuss something people need to understand what you're saying.
6) Stay on topic. Everything has its place. Don't talk about waffles in a thread about the Sega Dreamcast.
7) This may sound like nit-picking, but posting of the "Bitch stole my fish" picture in ANY way ANYWHERE on the site is grounds for an immediate permanent IP ban. You will not be warned again about this one. (and I'm not kidding.)
8) This one isn't so much a rule as it is a notice. There is no swear filter on this forum. If you're the kind of person who is offended by so much as reading the words fuck, shit, etc. then this forum is probably not for you.
9) When you see someone breaking the rules, use the post report button on the bottom right of the post. (Just to clarify, it's the "!")
10) If you see someone breaking the rules, do not tell them what kind of punishment awaits them. (this means you shouldn't reply to a spam thread with "you're gonna get banned for this".) It's ultimately up to the 3 admins to decide how to punish offenders and we certainly aren't looking for, and don't need anyone's help in this area.

That's it for now. More rules may come into effect if needed, and this list is always subject to change.
Thank you for your time. Enjoy the forum.
