Rules and Etiquette

The rules. Everybody hates these. As much as i hate rules, in most cases,they're necessary. I'll try to keep them simple and to the point. We have three set of rules. Main Ruels, Rules, and Etiquette. Please read each one carefully.

Rules
1. Members are not allowed to engage in threatening behavior toward other members. This includes flaming.

Etiquette of Aqua Post
1. Post in the correct category. Read the forum descriptions if you are confused.
2. Use good grammar. Basically start sentences with a capital and end it with punctuation.
3. Don't double post. That's when you post one after another instead of editing your existing first post.
4. Don't cross post. That's when you repeat a post in multiple threads or categories.
5. Create relevant subjects for threads. Shit like "OMG" for a subject is immature and asinine.
6. When posting content from another site, credit the site; use quotes and link to original content (unless it is a competing forum, in which case you shouldn’t be posting the content).
7. Be kind to others. How hard is it not to be an asshole?
8. Act like you're older than 16 even if you aren't.
