Duplicate posted will be locked or deleted. - Help Topic titles : When you post your question or your problem, you must use a title related to your problem/question. Words such as "Urgent", "SOS", "Question", "Problem", "Hurry" are not tolerated. Capitals should also be avoided. - Description of you problem/question : When you ask a question, try to be clear and accurate about what you want to say. Don't hesitate to describe your problem. The more info you give, the better we can answer you. - Language on this forum : English~ When you write in English deliberate mistakes must be avoided. Non-English people, as well as English people, must be able to understand what you write, so put a minimum of care in your English, even if your English is not very good - Colors and capitals : When you write your message, please don't abuse capitals (it means that you shout) or colors. Some colors are reserved for moderation and light colors are hard to read for visually impaired people. - Flood and off-topic : Flooding the forum must be avoided. As well as going off topic. You must also avoid to post the same topic twice, it will not be faster for you to get a response. If you make a mistake, please use the button at the top-right of your post, to avoid double-posting. Behavior on the forum - Defamatory, racist, hateful, pornographic, illegal or insulting content must be avoided on this forum. You must respect the fact that people may have a different opinion than you. If you are in conflict with another member, please use PMs for that, this board is not an arena! - Please, be patient. It's useless to up your topic every 2 minutes (see the point "Flood and Off-topic"). Every member of this forum has a private life besides The Realm , so they can't always respond immediately. - You must respect the moderators and administrators. They all work voluntarily on this forum and they are human, not machines! - Don't argue with the mods you won't win and you might get banned. Members are encouraged to seek an understanding with the moderator in question through the use of private messages. If that doesn’t work to a member’s satisfaction, please feel free to contact another mod to approach the first mod on your behalf. If none of these options return satisfactory results, please contact the administration with your concerns. Members will be warned the first time they break the forum rules. If a second infraction occurs, it will result in a temporary ban of 7 days. If a third incident arises, that member will be permanently banned. Some members have already received their first warning and temporary bans. Please note that this rule retooling is taking place retroactively. - If the moderation team deems that a single infraction is worthy, the first two steps will be skipped and that member will be removed immediately. Avatar and Profile - Avatar dimensions : Your avatar's width must not exceed 150 pixels and its height must not exceed 200 pîxels. These limits are here to avoid scrolling for people who have a low screen resolution. You must also respect the limit of weight which is fixed to 300 KB. There are still people who have a low-speed connection, and heavy pictures take time to load for them. - Your avatar is not an advertising banner, so avatars with your forum URL must be avoided. Possible Sanctions - If you advertise by PM, you may see your PM mailbox disabled for a determined period - If your avatar doesn't respect the rules and you ignore the moderator's request to have it changed, the Administrator may forbid you from displaying an Avatar. - Advertising for money-related stuff, Spamming the forum, Spam Bots = Immediate ban - Ignoring the moderators' warnings and continuing to not respect the rules, insulting people and trolling may result to a simple ban from this forum, according to the gravity of the member's fault. - Excessive Flaming / Insults Permanent Ban from The Realm completely. Members ~ Please Report All Inappropriate Posts of this nature to a Moderator or Administrator Immediately! And we will rectify the situation. **PLEASE NOTE** No Harassing "Caihlem" For Any Forumotion Related Issues here at The Realm. Ever!!
