Picture and Avatar rules:
Please keep inline images to one of the standard picture or chat threads. Broadband has expanded greatly since the initial posting of these rules, but we still strive to be bandwidth-friendly.
Avatars can be a maximum of 100X100, and signatures may be a maximum of 450wx150h. The combined size of your avatar and signature must be 250k or under, and either can be animated as long as you meet these size requirements. PNG, GIF, and JPEG are all acceptable - no SWF Flash files.
Do not include massive animations in your posts. Ever.
Piracy:
We here at RPGFan do not support piracy in the least. Please do not request or post about Emulators, ROMs, ISOs, etc, or information relating to anything of the sort. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted music, console and PC games, and feature films. We support these industries both as an outlet and consumers ourselves. We expect you to do the same. Thanks.
Usernames:
Usernames should contain nothing offensive and be relegated to twenty characters or less. We reserve the right to change your username at any time.
Bannings:
We reserve the right to ban you at any time for any reason. You know that wonderful first amendment argument you think about every time someone says you can't do something online? Yeah, apparently you slept through high school government class on that one. The first amendment applies to public forums, like city hall etc, and the government. This is not a public forum, nor are we the government. As this is our private forum, we can edit your posts, ban you, or do any number of things. If you don't like it, too bad.
Language:
While swearing is not against the rules on our boards, keep it within a normal spectrum. Constantly swearing is going to do nothing but gain my ire. Racism, Sexism, or anything of the like will not be tolerated, jokingly or not. RPGFan is a PG website; posts in general threads should be appropriate for 13 year old users.
