What is ''spam'' in this forum?
- (Necroing old topics) Posting in an old thread, bumping it to the top of the forum is okay, as long as the post that bumps it is relevant to the discussion. If not, this is subject to moderator action, and may lead to a warning or ban.
- (Bumping) If your thread's falling to the bottom of the page and you want to knock it up to the top again, don't just bump. Make a post that adds to the content of the thread or elaborates on the discussion at hand. Gotta keep it interesting to post!
- (Begging) If you want money,items. Don't try to beg. It only reduces your reputation.
- (Advertising) If you want to publicize your website, auction, lottery or quest, put a link in your sig. Don't post a thread about it in GD. Advertising = spamming, and will get you warned or banned.
- (Over-sized text) There is a series of sizes that are provided in the Post Reply window to sized your font. It is recommended to just stick to using those. Please recognize that manually editing the text to where it stretches the page in an unhealthy manner will be considered an act of trolling and spam.
- (Unreadably tiny text) Text which is unreadable (and thus invisible against the page background) or too tiny to read with the naked eye will be treated as if it is not there.
- (Misleading titles) Titles what don't match the discussion are tricksy and false.
- (Double Posting) If you reply 2 times or more in a short period of time, it's considered as ''spam'' and you will get a warning for it. Simply edit your previous text because double posting is verry annoying and it gives false earned post counts. If a topic is old for a pretty long time, and you wish to get it under attention again, it is okay to double post in such situations.
- (Posting Malicious Content) No posting of any malicious material. Also no post copyrighted material that does not belong to you as that is breaking copyright.
Please stick to these rules and protect yourself getting banned.
