It is expected here on unreal.activeboard forums that everyone has read these rules. Be warned.

1) House rules:

• Use the search function before posting. Chances are your question has already been answered.
• DO NOT USE ONLY CAPS IN YOUR SENTENCES, or font sizes bigger than +3 without a good reason (titles/headings are good reasons).
• Use a title that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention.
• ANY spoiler threads must be clearly marked
• Keep the focus: Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved, locked or simply be deleted.
• Do not spam. No obvious advertising allowed. When it adds to a certain subject it is no problem to post a link to a source.
  Do NOT open a topic "Check out this website" and add only the link in the text body. -- This will be considered spam, be locked/removed and a official warning will be given.
• Signatures are only allowed with a maximum resolution of 350 x 150 pixels
• Avatars/icons are only allowed with a maximum resolution of 100 x 100 pixels
• As of now begging for rep ( ) in posts or signatures it NOT allowed.
• Do not ask the crew for a new colored username. It's invite only, except for the donations team.
• You will be respectful to the crew and other members here on the forums.
• You will not flame or start wars with other communities or websites. Flaming will now not be tolerated, the instigator, depending on the nature of the flaming will be banned
• Non contributing comments like "Cool story, bro" or posting a picture anything in that direction will not be tolerated
• . Thus ALL complaint threads WILL be closed, from now on.

2) Common sense:

• Be nice to each other and respect the crew and other members. Profanity and insults will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with another member turn to the respective moderator.
• No warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained copyrighted content! Links to content of a questionable nature, asking for, offering, or asking for help/helping to process such content in any way or form is not tolerated. Nude content will also not be allowed.
• No cross posting. Post your message once, to the appropriate forum and nowhere else or it will be locked or deleted without warning.
• Don't post just to increase your number of posts. If you have nothing to say on a certain matter then don't post. The number of posts on this board has no direct relation to the experience of a member.
• You may not bump your own topic within 24h ("Why is nobody helping me? I'm sure you know the answer").
• Rep-trading (deliberately give other members, or each other lots of rep( ) in a short time) will be considered fraud and will be answered with a rep-reset (back to 0) and an official warning. Use it the way it's meant to: Like the post, give rep.
• The official language is English, this is the only allowed language.
• Multiple registrations are prohibited and are grounds for immediate account deletion.
• Instructions by the moderator team and admins are to be followed.
• Please don't Rick roll...
• Nation Bashing, regardless of your respective side of the argument, is NOT allowed. It will be classified as a flame war and will be dealt with accordingly.

3) Shoutbox rules:

• The regular board rules are also in affect on the shoutbox, read them!
• Images / videos will NOT be allowed without the [spoiler] tags. Linking them is okay if it's not pornographic, illegal or discriminating in nature.
• It's a chat, don't paste long stories. NO more than 3 lines in any way!
• NO illegal warez, links, copyrighted material, serial numbers, cracks, or any other form of illegal media.
• The official language is English, this is the only allowed language.
• No over-the-top Fonts (nothing over font size 4)
• Don't post every single thought that pops up in your mind, keep it interesting to read for others
• Do not spam with smileys. Not in a single line and not in multiple lines right after each other
• Do not use smileys (external) that are bigger than two lines
• No political discussions, they tend to end in flame wars.
• See 1.8
• NO Spoilers in the shoutbox

The flood control (1 message every 5 seconds) has been removed for crew & donors.


All sets of rules will be expected to be lived by or you will receive an warning, official warning (viewable by other users), temporarily ban or a permanent ban. These will not be negotiable.

We, members of the admin and moderator groups, may change these rules at any point in time. When updated, the date in the title will be edited. The date format is: [YYYY/MM/DD] You will be expected to read the new set of rules.
