Okay guys, here's the main rules of the Lighthouse. Follow them, and everything will be right in the forum. ^^ Rules are categorized as Beta for the nonstaff, and the staff rules are labeled GA&O(Gamma Alpha & Omega).
Beta Rules
I. No extreme cussing. I'll accept the words d**n, hell, and ass from time to time, but don't overdue it. We won't go under extreme measures for this one though. Unless you start causing problems or we hear complaints from other members, you won't be in too much trouble.
II. Don't critisize other members because they're different. Like race, religion, and all that. I will NOT have that here and you will be banned without a second thought.
III. No yiff, hentai, porn, whatever in the art sections alright? You get one warning as well as your account being suspended. Do it again, and you're gone.
IV. Label your writing as G, PG, or PG-13.
G- No violence, language, or anything of the sort.
PG- Maybe some violence, or a little language...nothing too extreme.
PG-13- Blood and Gore, language, and suggetive stuff. (If you want an example, take a look at my Shi Chronicles series. xD) But no nudity, or anything sexual alright?
V. For the Spam section. Yes you can do just about anything here. But if a flame war goes on or something of the sort, the thread will be locked, and the wrongdoer will get a warning. Three of them, and you get an account suspension. Do it again, you get a long one. A sixth time, and you're out of here.
VI. If you post on the wrong floor, don't worry about it. ^^ A Gamma or Alpha will kindly move it to the correct board and all you get is a note saying that it was. And don't double post on any of the Floor except for the Spam Floor.
VII. Don't ask to be a staff member. You probably will just get looked down upon. If I or Kurtis think that you're Gamma material or higher, we'll ask you if you want to be part of the staff. Gammas and Alphas can also suggest someone to us through a PM, and we'll see about it.
VIII. Do NOT insult the staff. You will be punished if we hear any complaints from them if they are harassed by Betas.
IX. If your account is suspeded, don't make another one until the suspension is over. Both of the accounts will be deleted.
X. I almost forgot. Please keep your art in one topic on the Yoshi, Furry, and Other Art Floors. It's easier to find and it saves on space. (Your name here)'s Yoshi Art room would be a cool name for the Yoshi Art Floor for example. Since the Board's are called Floors...yeah it doesn't matter. I just thought it sounded cool. xD
XI. Writing is different. Only keep it on one topic if it's a chaptered book. Also, if someone doesn't reply to the topic by the time the next chapter is made. You can double post, tripple post, etc.
XII. I made this mainly for Yoshi and Fur art. And I might as well let you know, if you view something. You HAVE to comment, or risk suspension. The same thing goes for everything in the Art Level. Music, fan fics, poems, drawn art, etc.
XIII. No advertising any sites other than those affiliated with the board. A few warnings, and if you continue, you'll be suspended.
XVI. Do not reply to PMs sent to you as warnings, etc. We'll just ignore it if you do.
GA&O Rules
Yes, we're all powerful and amazing and all that jazz, but we need to follow the main rules as well as these special rules. xP We have a responsibility to keep this board under control, so set a good example. If you disobey the rules, you'll be demoted. Omegas will be demoted to Alphas, them to Gammas, and then you'll be a regular Beta. Let's hope that doesn't happen. :\
I. Don't ban, or suspend someone just because you don't like them. Or you'll be suspended and your staff rights will be gone. No demotions, just flat out sacked.
II. Don't modify someone's post to make them look stupid or anything. You'll be punished based off he level of wrongness you did.
III. For the love of all things holy. Don't change the background without my permisson. xP Same thing with the News Fader. You'll get a few warnings but if you keep doing it, you'll be demoted.
IV. Speaking of the News Fader...normally only the Omegas can update the news, but if I give you permission to use it for something, don't abuse that right and spam it up. And don't delete the news that was already on there m'kay? Just put your news under it. If you don't that will make me very mad. :]
V. If an Omega changes something like the name of the forum, or the Floor names, or something else without my say-so...you'll be demoted to Gamma.
That's all the rules for now. This topic is going to be locked but if you have any addition you want to add, PM me. This will temporarily be an announcement until we get the other Floors their own set of rules.
