1. No RELIGION/POLITICS - Unless they actually deal with a past or current WRESTLING storyline and even then, please don't take it too far. We do this because there are just too many people who will not see eye-to-eye with you regarding your views, and this avoids arguments that turn ugly.
2. NO FLAMING - Not even "you're an idiot" or "get your head out of your ass". You want to seriously argue a point fine. But remember that an opinion is not a fact.
Instigating other posters and/or purposely "trolling" for a dispute/argument will not be tolerated.
3. SIGNATURES - Only one pic per sig. There is an image-size limit, please respect it (we have a built-in size reducer, but it does not always work the first time a page is loaded. For this reason, we still ask that you not post ginormous pics). Signatures (AND avatars) must not contain any pictures/images which violate any of the rules. Nor can they contain words that are filtered here. Sigs and Avatars also cannot contain spoilers for wrestling shows that have yet to air in the continental U.S. If you think a sig is offensive, please ask a mod first through PM or the ask mod thread in off topics before posting it.
3.a... In Custom Titles and Personal Text you may have pictures if they are 60x60 pixels or less and less than 5kb in size. No animated pictures of any kind in your custom titles or personal text.
4. NO PORN/SEXUAL CONTENT - With images, no nipples, no vaginas, no penises...peni....whatever. No lewd/graphic discussion. Butts are okay, but so long as no vagina is exposed, and if used in a sig, MUST be in a thong or more in terms of clothing.
5. No SPAM - Do not Spam the Board. Do not start threads pimping your website, you may put a link in your sig, but only if it doesn't violate the "Link Rules". Spamming via PM's will also not be tolerated.
6. LINKS - The rules on links are as follows:
A. Do not link to porn. Ever.
B. Do not link to stuff that is graphic (death/horrendous injury/just plain sick/nasty)
C. Do not link to videos that are downloadable by the site unless it's the site's property. By this, it means linking to youtube is ok, as it doesn't have a download function (what you do on your own time is your own business). Don't link to torrent sites, etc., that allow ILLEGAL downloading. If it's an official movie site that allows downloads of the trailer, that's ok. That kind of thing, ok?
D. Do not link to political or religious sites, or sites/pages about them. THIS INCLUDES YOUR SIGNATURES.
E. Do not post more than 3 or 4 (at MOST) links to youtube at the same time. Posts that include a huge amount of videos, especially if they're all parts of the same show, will be deleted and the poster warned.
F. No links to live feeds, ever!
G. You'll notice language has not been brought up yet. Do not link to sites/pages that are EXCESSIVE in cursing. By this, I mean for instance, a youtube video that's just someone saying curse word after curse word with no merit; the link MUST have some sort of substance to it beyond being an outlet to cuss.
H. IF you link to a site/page that includes language, you MUST put a (warning: language) or similar with it.
I. Links with racist language or overtones are not allowed.
J. Links to other message boards are discouraged if they are flamatory; it's okay if you shill your own in your sig (so long as it conforms to our other rules), but do not spam the board with posts advertising it.
7. COPYRIGHTED FOOTAGE - Do not place links to downloadable copyrighted material. Do not place links to File-Sharing programs. Remember, WWE owns WCW and ECW material, and their Lawyers are always watching. Feeds are an example of this and the consequences are slightly different, as it has its own thread. This includes themes and asking others to procure themes for you. Do not make threads asking for themes, theme trades, etc. Also, do not post massive amounts of videos from one show or fed all at once.
8.PREJUDICE - Anyone is free to post here, no matter what their Gender, Sexual Orientation, Religious Beliefs or Skin Color. Do not flame someone because of their beliefs
9.WRESTLER (and other celeb/person) BASHING - Do not go too far in bashing wrestlers or wrestling personalties past or present. For example, wishing death or serious injury on a Wrestler (or any other person for that matter) will not stand. Do not go too far in mentioning a wrestlers "Personal Demons" or any rumors you may have heard about them.We do have wrestlers who post here. You don't have to kiss their ass, just be respectful.
10. POST COUNT - There is no difference here between someone who has 10,000 posts and someone who has 10 posts. The rules apply to everyone here. Just because you have been here since Day 1, does not mean your opinions are more valid
