If you are reading this you are looking at the obsolete version of the forum rules!
The current rules (or a link to the even-more current rules) are HERE:
40k Online Rules and NetiquetteWe ask that you respect our board rules by adhering to the following guidelines:
1) Do not share, trade, or distribute in any manner here, any copyright material, without the express written consent of the owner.
Games Workshop Intellectual Property PolicyWhat you can and cannot do with Games Workshop Intellectual Property2) Spam is not tolerated on this site. If you spam you will be labeled as a spammer until you improve, or until you are subsequently banned upon any more infractions. Excessive use of smilies
is a form of spamming, and will be treated as such.
3) Do not share your account or password to this site. Every individual contributing to the member areas of this site is allowed only to have ONE account.
4) In an attempt to keep this site safe and enjoyable for everyone, there are a few rules here that we'd like you all to respect and keep in mind:
a) Please do not use racist slurs, prejudiced comments, profanity, or derogatory statements.
b) Swearing is censored to the best of our efforts, but your co-operation is of utmost importance in these matters.
c) Evading the censor by adding asterisks, or purposefully misspelling words to evade the censor is considered a higher offence than swearing normally, do not do this.
d) Do not initiate arguments of a personal nature. This will only cause the triggering of other members and make this site unsafe. We will remove anyone who explicitly ignores this rule.
e) Please put a warning on all material that could upset other members.
f) Be courteous to other users, even if you disagree with someone or believe that they are full of it. Refrain from flaming posts or comments. You may argue and debate, but do not make any comments of a personal nature. Do not use any profanity and no derogatory statements. This place is to help others, and to reach out for help... let's keep it that way.
5) Members that do not follow these rules will be issued a warning and have the offending post removed. Continual disrespect for our rules will result in that account being banned. Keep in mind that your activity on this board is monitored. If you are unsure about making a certain post, or activity on this board, please discuss it first with Purple Raine, or a Moderator. Do not take matters into your own hands and comment on others' behaviors,
use the Report to moderator button instead. 6) No unauthorized advertisement. You must contact us for permission to advertise a website other than 40kOnline.
We'd like to stress :: Our community consists of players of all ages and from all walks of life, and that includes teenagers, and even some pre-teens. That said, we would like to see less swearing on our boards, including: @#%$, pissing, tuna melt, Oh Sh*t, F**k the questions, WTF, etc. Sure, these are 'acceptable' words (because they are censored) and some even said on TV, but it doesn't mean they're right.
We understand that there are times when there is indeed something that causes so much excitement or grief in you that you just have to blurt out a swear word, but this need not be so often, and certainly not all the time. We'd prefer if it is kept in to a minimum.
Thank you for reading and respecting our rules.Added links to GW IP policy. -Mr.Peanut
