[TheMan44217]

-Posting Messages-

-Topic titles: When you post your question or your problem, you should use a title related to your problem/question/post. All Capitals should also be avoided.

-Languages: This is an English forum. Please write in English. SMS (cell phone) style message, L3375P34K (leetspeak) and 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.

-Spelling, punctuation, grammar, ect: Please spell words out the best you can and place punctuation correctly for every sentence you write so others will understand what your saying.

-Speaking: please stay away from speaking/posting in gangster, hillbilly, or any other kind of talking that will confuse a person on what you are trying to say.

-Flooding: Do not flood the forum with posts that contain the same text.

-One-word posts: One word posts like "LOL" or "HI!" or posts with a smilie(s) with no text is SPAM and that is forbidden, even in forum games.

-Posting to increase post count: Posting randomly to increase your post count is not allowed. The founder can reset your post count at any time.

-Off-Topic posts: Off topic posts are considered SPAM and must be avoided. Off-topic posts can be deleted at any time.

-Un-useful posts: Massive, un-useful posting is spam. Examples of un-useful posts are "that is cool" or "i agree" or anything like that.

-Double posts: You must also avoid to post the same topic twice in a row. Feel free to edit your message if you make a mistake or you have updates. Please use the button at the top-right of your post, to avoid double-posting.

-Lost Topics: If you don't find your topic, it may have been moved to a more appropriate place. Take a look at your recent posts, and it will show what location it is at. If you still can't find it, PM a moderator or admin!

-Advertising for your forum: You may not advertise your forum in your signature. If so, it will be deleted immediately. You can as a Reviewer to let you post about your forum in the Forum Reviews section. You may also put your forum domain in your profile.

-Other advertising: It is also forbidden to post advertising for money-related stuff.

-Behavior on the forum-

-Acting toward others: Defamatory, racist, hateful, pornographic, illegal, personal attacks and demeaning 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 "Off-topic"). Every member of this forum has a private life besides Brickmasters, so they can't always respond immediately.

-Nothing illegal: Do not post links for cheats or hacks to any lego.com game, My Lego Network, or any other online game.

-Respect the moderators and administrators: They all work voluntarily on this forum and they are human, not machines! They work hard and do their best and sometimes mess up, but that's okay.

-Inappropriate PM: If you received advertising, pornographic content or insults by PM, you must send the whole copy (including the headers) to a moderator by PM. Posting it in a topic is useless and will only cause conflicts between you and the one who sent you the PM.

-Avatar, Profile and Signature-

-Appropriate Avatar: Avatars must be G rated at all times. Inappropriate, sexually oriented and gore avatars must be avoided. Anyone posting inappropriate avatars will lose the privileged of being able to display one.

-Appropriate Signatures and Links: Signatures and Links must be G rated at all times. Inappropriate signatures or links must be avoided. Signatures and links may be deleted at any time.

-Signature Image Size: 2 Images Max each (728px x 125 px) or 1 Image Max (728px x 250 px)
That is MAX, but if you have a smaller, it is better!

-Safety and Security-

-Passwords: Make sure your password is really hard to figure out. Don't make it something simple like "cat" or "qwerty" or your username. Also, do not give out your password for anything to anyone, not even your best friend. You never know if they will hack your computer with it or do something bad to get you in trouble.
