Be warned this thread contains a huge wall of text and while we know you may not want to read it, it is advised that you do so. Thank you for your time.
Site Rules: While using our site/forum you must comply to these rules, abusing any of these rules are subject to any of the featured punishments listed below the rules.
Spam: SPAM is classified as any message that does not conform to the topic of the thread, or is a one or two word response. For example, in a thread about WarCraft, a post which contains a simple * lol * and nothing more will be considered as SPAM and disciplinary action will be taken against you, also making multiple threads about the same topic are considered spam and are strictly forbidden. Another note, we hold the right to lock any post for spam prevention purposes.
Edit, don't repost: Instead of making an entire new thread/post, simply click the edit button. It is located on the upper right-hand corner of your original post. Posting again instead of editing falls under the SPAM rule.
Caps Lock: Please do not type in all caps, make sure that little light on the corner of your keyboard is off. Deletion of threads may occur otherwise.
No Flaming: Flaming is essentially nonconstructive criticism, belittling, etc. This breeds a hostile forum environment and is not allowed in any form.
Post in the Correct Forum: Make sure that you post your topic in the correct section. For example, a post about your new staker isn't exactly necessary for the community as a whole to see.
No asking to be a Moderator: We will make people mods who we think are good people who post intelligently and help other members. It is not your responsibility to direct us on modding others. Asking for modship or a moderator recommendation is a good way to make sure you will not be chosen for modship.
Search: Please use the search feature before making a new topic, to find what you are looking for. This feature is most helpful when searching for an answer to a question, or looking for programs/guides. Just make sure you don't post in topics that have not been posted on in over a month old, because the topic has already died which means the discussion is over.
Be Polite: Respect others and treat them how you would like to be treated.
Bumping Old Topics: This can be considered Spam. Bumping topics older then 2 months of the authors original date or once the topic is solved / no longer an issue is Grave Digging. Breaking this rules will result in a infraction and the topic shall be closed after the bump.
Scamming and Infected Files: Any incident of scamming will result in a permanent ban. The same goes for posting of keylogged files. Please remember to scan any files you download. This will not be tolerated in any way. For these offenses, we do not care if your brother, dog, sister, hamster, mother, or half-uncle did it. You will be banned all the same to prevent further scam attempts originating from your household.
Signatures & Avatars: No inappropriate Avatars or signatures.
Porn: Do not post any pornography or anything that can be considered so.
Moderator or Administrators: Decision Please do not question moderator or admin decisions in public forums. Anyone who does this in the open will be given an immediate warning. You may question the decision by sending a private message to them.. If someone is banned they were banned for a reason, we do not ban people randomly. Please do not ask about why people were banned.
Reporting Posts: If someone is breaking any rules please message a moderator. He/She will get to it ASAP. Please also report posts that need to be closed such as completed threads in marketplace, on answered questions. Sending in false reports will result in a punishment being handed out. Do not post in a topic that it needs to be locked, instead message a moderator who will lock it. Posting this way only inflates your post count, and you will be branded as a ?post-count-whore.?
Plagiarism: Any Kind of plagiarism (taking stuff without asking) will not be tolerated. This includes graphics, and written work. You must say where you got the info. Posting a little info and giving credit to where you got it from is not plagiarism, that's fair use.
Advertising: We do not allow people to create topics advertising personal websites. When having signatures, banners, ect, you CAN NOT have your website in the signature or have your signature link to your website.
Double, Triple, Quadruple posting: Double, Triple, Quadruple posting etc... is not accepted here. If it is your first time on a double post the punishment will be an un-official warning If it is more than a double post or another offence you may receive a ban or possibly a deletion of topic.
Black Market Rules: Only post if you are buying or selling characters, items & gold. Do not tell them they overpriced an item or anything, it is the topic holders choice of what they are selling it for, if you think it is over priced do not post saying it, buy from someone else. Only exception to this rule is if the person is trying to scam people. Do NOT advertise your product in another person's post. When selling a character, you MUST take a screen shot of the characters stats, also taking a picture of the characters recovery's and when they were set, we like to call this the login page(the screen shown right after you login showing the message of today), along with removing the characters name from the picture, and to make your post fully believable, in the chatbox on BloodyRune, put a little message such as "Hi this is "Yourname" selling this black pure 450k! Buy me! Req Set! or something similar.
Title of Topic: The title of your topic must say what you are selling/buying/trading for. Any topic titles such as "Read this!" are forbidden. Your topic must NOT be in ALL caps! As this is distracting, and makes the forum look messy.
BloodyRune Accounts: Anything to do with trading BloodyRune accounts is risky, and is limited to the black market.
Inappropriate Media: Anyone posting any kind of graphic nudity at all will be banned permanently.
Punishments: Depending on the severity of your offense you may receive, an unofficial warning, official warning, a temporary ban, or a permanent ban.

Official Warning: This is an actual warning that will show up in the post you were warned about.
