Warnable/bannable offenses:
1. No spamming.
===============================================
This means do not post replies that have nothing to do with the topic, or 1 or 2 word posts. This includes things like "Nice trainer!", "You Rock!", and "Thanks!" just to increase your post count. If you want to thank someone, +rep or PM them. Also, please do not create useless topics. This includes making topics with first posts such as "Like the topic says," “Title,” or "Woot!". Saying that the thread is spam in any way or saying "let it die" or such is also considered spam, unless accompanied with something on topic. Please do not quote posts without responding.
The best way to get rid of spam threads it to report it and not post at all.
2. No posting infected or malicious files.
===============================================
This means trainers or any files that have a trojan, spyware, highjacker, etc. If it was accidental, delete the infected file and fix the problem before reposting.
3. No double posting/multiple threads/existing threads on same topic.
===============================================
An example of this was a person named "Johnny Phoenix" who attempted to get 100 posts in one day by spamming the forum which resulted him in him receiving a PERMANENT BAN from the forum. So please think before posting.
4. No reviving old topics.
===============================================
Please do not revive very old topics, referred to as bumping. In many cases even a week is old, and a month is very old. This especially applies to old, out of date information, outdated/patched trainers, and the like.
5. No flaming new or existing members.
===============================================
Do not flame new members for asking simple questions; they don't know anything, so help them out. If they seem sincere and just ignorant, help save them from their ignorance. If they seem to be purposefully spamming and obnoxious, simply click on that little “!” at the top right of their post to inform a mod, and post that the informing has been done. Do not litter the forum with your self-righteous profanities. Do not publicly flame people just because they insulted you, even if you feel you didn’t deserve it; if you have a problem simply inform a mod, or PM the individual. DO NOT start a flame war. Never ever take anything personal; if someone insults you, de-reps you for something retarded, insults your beliefs, threatens to kill off your family, or anything like that. IGNORE IT!
6. No Scamming.
===============================================
Please do not attempt to scam people with things like "trading accounts" or offering services like "I will train your account." Don't even make posts like this. Even if you aren't intending it as a scam, we have no way of knowing this.
7. No long quote chains or quoting of long tutorials.
===============================================
Please do not quote a very long tutorial or post/multiple posts. A smart thing to do is to quote a specific part of the post(s) you are referencing and delete the irrelevant material before submitting your post with the quote(s).
Consequences:
The breaking of any of these rules can result in receiving warnings or bans from the forum moderators depending on the severity of your rule-breaking. Other members will also have a greater tendency to negative rep you for not adhering to the rules.
Conduct Guidelines:
8. No begging.
===============================================
Please do not beg or create new posts/threads to ask for passwords or rep. You are more likely to get de-repped for such activity. If there are requirements, please be sure you meet them before you make personal requests.
9. Respect other members.
===============================================
To begin with, it is recommended to respect a fair amount of the forum members that seem to be generally respected by other forum members; doing so often greatly increases your chances of getting their passwords, trainers, links, trust, etc. at some point. This does not mean all high-level posters are infallible and deserving of respect, because frankly some are not, post count means nothing more than that they've posted that many times. As a general rule of thumb please attempt to be respectful to your fellow forumites. Disrespecting on a major scale can also result in a warning or ban.
10. Grammar.
==============================================
When you’re posting a message make your best effort to use proper English or the members won't understand you. Make sure your message is conveyed clearly.
11. Search for the information you want before you post.
===============================================
Don't make useless topics or posts when the information you're looking for likely already exists; try to use the search button to look for the topic you want. If the search button is down then manually look for the topic by browsing the forum.
12. No excessive, redundant trainers.
===============================================
This is more of a guideline than a rule, as it is more of a cultural thing of this forum because people don't appreciate the clogging up of the forum. There have been a lot of useless trainers made, seemingly just to gain recognition and reputation in order to gain private trainers and such. Don't bother asking for tutorials for making trainers (they already exist), because you will not likely be helped unless you discovered a unique hack that no one has. Even then it's probably better to suggest the idea to an existing well-established trainer-maker to add to their trainer and asking for credit, rather than making your own entirely new trainer.
13. No Stealing/Leeching ideas.
===============================================
Please do not attempt to steal anyone's hard work for your own credit or copy someone else’s work from another forum without their permission. Some trainer makers (especially new ones) seem to think that stealing somebody else's ideas (or SWF files) without permission and “crediting” them is acceptable. There aren't that many things left to hack in AQ and DF, and trainer-maker’s options are very limited, because all of it depends on some coding and finding variables. It may be okay to use somebody's ideas if you have very good improvements, however, at least ask the original authors/creators before you steal their ideas. If you do ask, then they can tell you whether or not they want it used in your trainers. If they say no, then don't do it. Making private hacks public is sometimes acceptable and appreciated, but it may be offensive to the original author. If the trainer is stolen, then that will probably result in a ban.
14. Common Sense.
===============================================
Please use common sense when posting. If you're going to have a thousand smiley's in your post, then what do you thinks going to happen? Don't be a smart a** and say it wasn't in the rules.
15.Consequences:
Numbers 8-14 are more so guidelines for how to post effectively and acceptably within this forum community. While you usually won't get warned or banned for these offenses, your behavior will not be appreciated and your thread may get locked or your post deleted if it is offending enough. It is advised to follow these guidelines to earn respect in the forum community and to avoid contention.
16. Stay On Topic
===============================================
Anyt threads and dragging them off-topic for your own purposes will not be tolerated. It is natural for discussions to evolve. It is not natural for them to take 90-degree turns on a dime into a completely unrelated direction just because you feel like it.
17.Sweawing
