:: General Rules of MKW.com ::
--
Community rules are created and encouraged to be adhered to in order to keep the general interest of all members.
These are designed with one common goal: make every member feel comfortable about their own values.
As so, this group of guidelines represent a sense of rightness as a whole (agglutinating rules), although each forum may impose further, more specified rules on their own.
1 - SPAM is NOT allowed.
The definition of SPAM is clear on its own: Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. As such, any kind of content that deviates from the core topic or doesn't contribute in any way to the discussion is prohibited.
2 - No Swearing.
Everything can be expressed without relying on bad language, so don't use it.
Attempts to avoid the filter are also equally punished.
3 - Double-Posting is prohibited.
With the exception of legitimately bumping up an old topic or posting in the Fan Fictions area, double-posting (and any more radical variations) are forbidden. If you've got something to add, use the EDIT button.
4 - Bumping Threads.
You are only allowed to bump threads up (resorting to double-post is included) that don't go over 1 month period. Anything you may eventually dare to bump from that limit upwards is probably already outdated, so it's always better to create a new thread to restart discussion.
5 - Don't Advertise.
Advertising is not permitted on the forum, either forums or affiliate marketing. This include schemes to acquire free electronics and other items through referrals. If you are an established member, and wish to make a thread about it, then that is usually find but check with a member of staff first.
Although, it's worth underlining advertising has its own quantity of subjectiveness: It IS considered advertising anything that directly affects MKW.com's popularity/reputation. It, however, IS NOT considered advertising any kind of appeal pro/anti certain topic outside MKW.com's range of influence, so to speak.
6 - Disciplinary action is NOT general discussion.
Any kind of disciplinary procedure taken by the Staff should not be argued or discussed to avoid trouble. Such kind of topics will be locked.
7 - Thread tags MUST be relevant.
This means any kind of tags attached to a thread must be appropriate and relate/be related to the actual core topic in discussion.
8 - Sock Puppetry is NOT allowed.
Creating double-accounts is prohibited unless it's used in extreme cases, such as main account problems, in which case the user MUST contact one member of the Staff to inform of such occasion.
8 - Signature Size
If any of the mods see a signature that is too big, they can remove it, so a general size guideline, is make sure its no taller than 375px tall. That means all images, quotes, text, links, etc... need to be under 375px all together. And just a reminder, no porn, racist, or any rude or vulgar images or links in your sigs.
Open spoiler for an example

Failure to abide by these rules will give every right for the Staff to proceed to disciplinary action (warning or ban) on its own judgment without previous consent.
Rules may be subjected to change every now and then, so keep checking back for updates.
