//Genral Rules


The biggest thing I want you guys to do is be nice and kind to every member. I don't like disciplining people but I will do what I have to. Follow these rules and you shall be fine. If you have any questions do please PM me.


1. No flaming: Do not pester people with rude comments. Be nice and kind to your fellow digimon tamers.

2. No baiting:I don't want you to antagonize people to do things for you if they don't want to. This rule is especially valuable to Staff, we do have lives and don't expect us to tend to your every need when we have millions of other things to do. We will try our best to get to you.

3. No Drama Whoring: You must keep harmful personal stuff OFF the boards. Do NOT seek to maliciously turn opinion within the community against another member, or seek to utterly discredit members you dislike, be it through truths or rumors.

4. No Harassment: If you are being harassed in any way then please pm a staff member. This is not tolerated at all, were all mature. Sexual Harassment is not acceptable either, it violates Proboards Rules and you will be severely punished.

5. No Flooding: Defined as either posting more than five new threads in the same forum in an one hour period without staff permission, or bumping a load of dead topics which causes the previously active threads to drop off the first page.

6. Take Account of Others Viewing the Topic : Make sure that your posts are readable. We and everyone else wants to see what you are saying, speak english since this is an english site. Topics with adult content media must contain a thread warning. Make sure your signatures are cut down to an acceptable size (450x450 is a good estimate).

7. No trolling or neo-trolling: Trolling means deliberately seeking to cause damage to the community. Neo-trolling is another variant of this whereby you try to cause damage without making it seem like actual trolling (ie: subtle and intelligent trolling). This can include:

A. Maliciously exploiting 'loop holes' in the rules.
B. Seeking to constantly or massively undermine staff.
C. Massively or constantly publicly attacking the forum or how it is run on sites both associated and unassociated with the forum.
D. Privately plotting to cause problems on the forum.
E. Maliciously breaking rules.
F. No hacking, or issuing hack threats: This carries an immediate server ban.
G. Respect the mods: If a mod closes a thread, or tells you to quit doing something, then please listen to them. While what they ask for may not make sense to you, it will make sense to everyone else who want what's best for the forum. If you are unhappy with a mod, then do not make a public protest thread, but PM an admin with the complaint and we will deal with it if necessary. You should have enough respect for mods and the time which they put in to be able to trust their judgment and the job that they do. We wil try to respond in an orderly fashion, like I said we do have lives.

8. No Spamming: Do not flood the boards anywhere with unwanted posts. Do not repeated or even once make an unwanted thread. It is very immature and would not make any good out of it, it'll just waste you time and mine. And it proves you are a noob. Do not spam links in the cbox as well, its annoying. Thats why we have the advertisment section.


//Disciplinary Actions


When recieving a disaplinary action, there are rules that must and always has to be followed by Moderators and Admin alike. As everyone knows there are of course six types of disaplinary actions. This here is just an outlay of how Disiplinary Actions will be carried out, this is a reference for all Members and Moderators alike just in case if one has been bestoyed upon you.

Verbal Warning: In a thread if a person grows out of hand, usually a moderator will give out a verbal warning. This is a polite way of stating for those who are out of hand to please move back within topic, to stop baiting, flamining, or anything else that may be considered to be against the rules. Everything must have a sequence order, that means that you can not get or give a Third Warning unless you have had a Warning Two, and a Warning One, only the "Four Fathers" are capable of giving a warning further then the preset cap. That means that if someone has gone against the rules, and continued on that person may face a high warning.

Warning One: If a member recieves a Warning one they will recieve a 33 percent in their warning box. Also for Moderators you must specificly place in how long the warning will last and the reason for the warning. A Warning one will only last for one week, this is just something that is considered as a cool down, to hopefully show that the moderators are serious in their decision. When a moderator has bestoyed a Warning one upon the member they must copy and paste the reasons as to why they gave the warnining in the Disiplinary Board. The Title must state Warning One to (Then you place the name of the person.) In here they must state when the warning has been issued and when will the warning will be released, again the Warning One will only last one week. This will be so then the site has records as to who has the warning, and gives us the staff time to see if the warning was just.

Warning Two: If a member continues to do wrong and continues to disobey the rules of the Site then the member will recieve a 66 percent in their warning box. Also for Moderators you must specificly place in how long the warning will last and the reason for the warning. A warning Two will last for three weeks, this stacks with the first warning, this is to show the members that the warning system is getting serious and the member must and has to cool down with the rule breaking or else the consequences may go up and rise. When a moderator has bestoyed a Warning Two upon the member they must copy and paste the reasons as to why they gave the warnining in the Disiplinary Board. The Title must state Warning Two to (Then you place the name of the person.) In here they must state when the warning has been issued and when will the warning will be released, again the Warning Two will only last three weeks stacking with First Warning. This will be so then the site has records as to who has the warning, and gives us the staff time to see if the warning was just.

Warning Three: If a member continues to do wrong and continues to disobey the rules of the Site then the member will recieve a 100 percent in their warning box. Also for Moderators you must specificly place in how long the warning will last and the reason for the warning. A warning Three will last for One Month, this stacks with the first and second warning, this is to show the members that the warning system is getting to serious and the member needs to cut their sh-it or else they may find themselves in either the Temporary or Perma Bandment. When a moderator has bestoyed a Warning Three upon the member they must copy and paste the reasons as to why they gave the warnining in the Disiplinary Board. The Title must state Warning Three to (Then you place the name of the person.) In here they must state when the warning has been issued and when will the warning will be released, again the Warning Three will only last one month stacking with First and Second Warning. This will be so then the site has records as to who has the warning, and gives us the staff time to see if the warning was just.

Temporary Banment: Unleashed by only the Admins of the site and only the admins of the site. A banment may only occur by an Admin, but this is incredibly rare. No one else can ban, and if there is a Ban there must or the Admin must state in the disiplinary board stating why they banned. This only lasts one week.

Permanent Banment: This is neusense to the max to where the site is just better off without the person. Extremly rare, can only happen after constant and contstant, and constant, and...you get the picutre problems. Can only be enforced by an Admin. Oh yeah, extremly rare again.
