No Spamming - For those who don't know, spamming is when you post stuff unrelated to the topic continuously. It is also like junk mail, and in junk mail spammers usually advertise their own website or others. (advertising rules will be explained next.) The punishment for this, when seen by me or a staff member, will first be a warning and we will delete your post. If you keep spamming over and over again and we have to continuously delete your posts then you will be given a week's banning. If you still spam after the ban then you will be permanently deleted and blocked from this site.
Vulgar Content and Derogatory Words - This website will vary with different people of different ages, which means that not all of us will want to, or be able to, read vulgar/ derogatory things; this just means that you need to get your minds out of the gutter and clean your mouth out people. When I say vulgar and derogatory content I mean nothing that is racist or sexual. If you want to swear then make sure you censor it or put "mature" in your topic title. Punishment will be a warning and deletion of that post (or modification where I take the cursing word out). If you continue to break the rules then you will be banned for a week.
Plagiarism - Plagiarism, in my eyes at least, is an extreme offense so don't steal anyone else's work. It's as simple as that. If you'd like to borrow a quote, or a piece of writing from another person (especially a famous author), then tell us the name of the person so that you won't be taking praise for somebody else's work. I think it would be even nicer if you asked the person you're borrowing from if you can use it (that is unless they're famous). If I find out that you're plagiarizing then we'll have to give you two weeks ban and no warning.
