Locker Room Message Board Rules
Rules & Regulations
Do not expect special treatment because you've
Advertisement
been on Warchant for years or because you're a subscriber. These rules are to be
followed and will be enforced.
When emailing the moderators, it helps us
tremendously to identify your username in the email. It's also helpful to
provide a link to the problem thread if that's what the email is about.
The General Message Board Rules Still Apply
Topics
1) Please avoid sexually explicit topics. There are other outlets for those
kind of discussions, please refrain from them on Warchant.
2) Keep the various sports discussions to the appropriate
boards. That's why they're there.
We will allow 1 "Official" thread per major
sporting event. That thread will be allowed from the beginning (or day of)
the event and will last for 24 hours after the conclusion of the event. It
will then be moved to the Pro/General Sports Board unless it goes off on a
general sports topic unrelated to that specific event - in which case, it will
be moved sooner. If people begin taking advantage of this rule, it will be
revoked.
3) Spamming the board rapid-fire with thread after thread is strictly against
the rules. If you've got a lot of stuff to post, try do it in as few threads as
possible.
4) Please try to scan the board before posting a new
thread to insure there isn't already one covering your topic. If you miss
one and post a 'rerun' thread and it gets locked or deleted, don't be offended -
we simply try to keep the board clean. If there are two or more identical
threads, we'll usually keep the one which has the most responses.
5) Warchant is not here to provide publicity for other websites. If you're an
established Warchant user, feel free to direct people to your site but no driveby's with the intent of driving up traffic to your site.
Recruiting people to go to other message boards is strictly prohibited.
6) Discussions about illegal activities/how
to, including but not limited to illegal file-sharing and hacking are strictly
prohibited.
Using Warchant as an conduit to exchange email addresses for this kind of
activity is not allowed.
Acceptable Images
1) Posting pictures of or links to nudity of any kind is not allowed.
2) No pictures of men or women in skimpy
clothing, in other words, "Assets" are no longer allowed anywhere on Warchant.
3) Using Warchant as a conduit to exchange
email addresses for "Asset" swapping is not allowed.
Signatures and Avatars
1) Scantily clad women and men are not allowed to be used in signatures or
avatars, nor
is 'controversial' subject matter. That includes "linking to" websites that contain the same subject matter. If you have a question about what might or
might not be allowed, please contact the moderators via the link at the top of
the board.
2) Signatures should be no bigger than 500 pixels wide by 400 pixels tall.
3) Signatures should be no larger than 400k total.
4) Statements or pictures supporting a
political candidate or a political cause are allowed in signatures and avatars. Statements
or pictures ridiculing a candidate or political cause are not allowed in
signatures and avatars.
5) Links to personal blogs, no matter the
subject are not permitted.
Any signature or avatar containing such material will be banned without warning.
Reinstatement of a user's signature or avatar will come only after that signature has been
changed. Further violations will result in the user being banned from the site.
Users from other Rivals' boards must comply with these signature rules as well.
If your signature is in violation of any of the rules above, you must either
change it or ask us to simply ban it. Users requiring help with their signatures
may seek assistance on the Warchant Technical Center Board.
Personal Attacks
1) Personal attacks of any form against another user will result in a ban.
This includes calling people morons, idiots, etc...
2) Harassing, attacking, or threatening staff
members of this site via personal email or on other websites is grounds for
instant removal.
Profanity
1) Profanity is not allowed on any Warchant board. This includes but is not
limited to swapping out characters for letters in a word. As an example, '$hit'
is NOT acceptable. This rule includes "linking to" sites that contain profanity. If the site contains swear words, then don't link there.
2) Using something similar to *$@&%*#@ instead of profanity is allowed.
3) Using expressions such as "frickin", "fargin', "f'n" is allowed.
4) This profanity ban does not include the following words, provided they're
used in the proper context: "bitch, ass, damn, and hell". ie.. Do not tell
another user to 'go to hell'. Do not string together sentences full of these
words to prove a point. Doing so will lead to an immediate banning.
Problems/Questions about the way the board is being run
1) If you have business or questions for moderators regarding board
policy/bannings/etc.... do so via e-mail, not on the board.
2) Arguing with a moderator on the board about
board policy/bannings is grounds for instant banning.
3) Threads protesting the banning of a user such as "Free _______" will be
locked or deleted. Further threads will result in bannings for the offender.
Bans
1) Most bans are not permanent, but the length of time is up to the
discretion of the moderators. If you are banned from the site and would like to
know the reason, email the moderators, and ask us. Your ban is not
automatically lifted, it is the user's responsibility to ask the moderators to
remove the ban.
2) Once you are banned, re-registering with a new name is grounds for a
permanent ban. Creating fake names is grounds for a permanent ban as well.
3) Three bans within a one-year period will
results in a one-year removal from the site.
