1. No trolling with the obvious intent to disrupt or mislead other members of the forum about specific facts or information...

2. Bigotry and excessive hate mongering will not be tolerated, unless its really really funny and light hearted.

3. Make sure any pictures or Sigs you want to use aren't too large. They’ll take to much time to load and just be a distraction and annoyance to people with slower connections.

4. No excessive use of Latin or any other dead languages. No one thinks it makes you look smart.

5. If you put forth an argument for debate as fact and not just your own personal opinion you better be able to back it up with facts because excessive and prolonged ignorance to the facts of any given argument will be considered a disruption to the flow of information and exchange of ideas on this forum. If you argue it as opinion, that’ll be respected and treated as free speech.. This can be a very tricky and sensitive issue and that too will be respected and taken into account by a moderator before any actions in response to that are taken.

6. No missionaries. This is a multicultural and international forum with many different peoples and ideas. Respect that. Beliefs are a personal thing and not something anyone will consider fact.

7. Anything racist, fascist, homophobic or anything of the ilk will be flamed from here to eternity if used in a derogatory and arrogant fashion.

8. Intelligence isn’t mandatory, But no stupid trolls.

9. If you think we're rude, fuck you....

10. Beware the in jokes. There'll be a lot on a forum like this so try not to take everything seriously..

11. Patience is a virtue. One you wont find if you come only to troll. Everyone loves a good troll and the entertainment they provide.. Everyone with a sense of humour anyway. But if you don’t contribute to the flow of information and discussion too you’ll likely just bore everyone to death and get gagged.

12. You have the right to free speech, just as long as it doesn’t break any of the rules and guidelines. We provide far more freedom then most forums but in any organized grouping of individuals some form of structure is sometimes a necessity. Their not strict or unreasonable. So respect them. And you’ll be free to hold all the opinions or flame or heated debate you like..
