Hello all, and welcome to Tolkien Forums. These rules are not made to restrict you; they are made to make the forums better as a whole. If you follow these rules, it will be better for each and every member of the forums. You may question any rule in the Black Gate Forum, if you truly feel removing or editing this rule will benefit the forums. As a sidenote, it is requested by the administration that all users view the forum rules before registering and posting. When you register, you agree to these rules, and the administration reserves the right to edit or remove any post in question should they feel necessary. So, let us begin.
Tolkien Forums Rules
Posting
-Flaming, in which you intentionally insult or bother any poster in the forums is not allowed, nor will it be tolerated.
-Spamming, in which you clutter the forums with useless messages is not acceptable.
-Trolling or baiting in which one goes into a thread to send it off course into a flame war is not allowed.
-Porn or linking to porn is an automatic ban.
-Users hold the right to report anyone who violates these rules to the administration.
Swearing
-The only words allowed in any forums are
-Hell
-Damn
-Ass
That's it.
-If damn or hell are used to flame or troll, you will be banned.
Admins, Mods, and Managers
-Listen to them. They hold authority on this forum.
-If you have a problem with any admin, mod, or manager, myself included, do not hesitate to let us know, however, do it in proper manner. Start a thread in the Black Gate, and state your complaints there.
Display Names
- An interesting feature on Proboards is the ability to change your username. While this is encouraged, what is not encouraged is to change your display name to a display name of any forum member. A warning may be issued once, and if this behavior continues, a ban may follow.
Custom Avatars
- Custom Avatars are allowed as of Feb. 20th, 2006. However, two rules must be followed:
1. They can't be porn.
2. Animated movie-like GIFs can't be used.
Thank you,
-The 'Administration'
