Here are the Rules and Regulations for the forums that must be adhered to:

General Rules:
No profanity, insults or offensive language, there's people of all ages here remember. Also please do not promote hatred.

No spamming or unecessary advertising!!
No links to adult-oriented sites or pornographic images (art nude is acceptable but to a tasteful extent - all ages are here remember!!)
No Warez discussion or ways to acquire Warez!! This includes movies, television programmes and any copyrighted material that is unlawful to acquire by means of p2p or file-sharing networks. If you wish to discuss this then please do so elsewhere and not on this forum.

Respect the layout:
Image posting should be controlled... no images over 400 pixels shall be posted, because this will screw up the layout and that will not be tolerated. Put a smaller image here and link to the bigger one.

Avatars have a max dimension of 90x90 pixels. They can be animated but flashing or super-distracting avatars will be removed for the sake of everyone here.

Signatures have a max dimension of 400x75 pixels. They can be used for promoting other sites, but not other communities. Again, animatable signatures are distracting to other members so try to keep that in mind...

More posting rules:
Overdue smileys in posts are unnecessary and therefore unwelcome because you are not contributing to the board in any way if you insert 30 smileys behind every sentence. There will be a limit to 3 consecutive smileys set and around 10 per message.

Blah:
This site is for all kinds of use provided... whether it be Tutorials, Graphics talk or General Discussion. Let it be known that the administrators of the will be observing all actions conducted within this forum. If a member becomes troublesome then a warning will be issued, if the misconduct continues then a second warning will be issued and the member will be banned for 7 days. If there is no change and a third warning is issued then that member will be banned permanently.

Thanks:
Thank-you and please enjoy yourself here.

Boring Small Print
