Here on Metroid Evolutions forum, a list of rules is enforced that users must be aware of. In this list you will find what is expected of you as a member, as well as commonly known rules for any messaging board. Below is the list of rules:
[/color]
- Do not double post. You should not post twice when you want to add a point to your comment. Use the modify button to edit your previous text
- No necroposting. If a topic has been untouched for over 3 months, do not leave a comment unless the user who posted the topic allows you to
- No cursing. EVER. Filters are activated (which, unfortunately, may interfere with regular messages), but if any inappropriate language is posted purposely, the user that sent the message will receive a consequence based on ranking and/or member group
- No sexism, racism, etc. There is absolutely no racist or sexist comments allowed here. Breaking this rule results in a 3-day account disable. The 2nd time, the user is banned permanently
- No vulgarity. This site is not meant to be used in an inappropriate manner, and no vulgar language is allowed here. Any vulgar language used will result in a 10% warning meter increase
- No copying of another's topic allowed. If I see a user stealing a previously-used topic, then that user will have their account disabled for a number of days. If the offending user also has over 60% on their warning meter, they may be permanently banned
- Hacking results in bans. If anyone on this site tries to hack into another person's account, or into the system's administration features, then that user will be banned, no questions asked.
- You must stay active. Depending on your status on the forum, if you do not log back on in the given amount of time, your account may be deleted to free up space. You may still create another account after this happens
- Do not flame work. Criticism is helpful, but no flaming is allowed here on the Metroid Evolutions forum. Any rude behavior will result in a warning meter rise, as well as a 1-day disabled account
- No spamming. Spamming is not tolerated well on this forum, and any user who spams will receive a consequence based upon ranking
- There is no Secret Alliance. You cannot pester staff members into revealing important information regarding this forum. If this happens, the user will automatically be banned (depending upon the information that they are trying to learn)
- Staff members do not receive immortality. If staff members violate any of the rules, then they may receive punishment as well as the other members
Consequences that apply in some of the rules may vary depending upon the status that you are in the forum:
- New Member (1 star)-You receive a PM warning and obtain a 20% warning meter increase
- Novice Member (2 stars)-You receive a PM warning, obtain a 20% warning meter increase, and lose $50
- Junior Member (3 stars)-You lose $100 and are given a 20% warning meter increase
- Full Member (4 stars)-You lose $150 and are given a 25% warning meter increase

- Hyper Member (8 stars)-You lose $400, gain a 40% warning meter increase, and are banned for 2 days
NOTE: If staff members violate important rules 2 times, they are immediately taken of their position
