I. Read our rules. They're here for a reason, and we expect the members of Feral to know them and to follow them. There is no excuse!

II. Respect the moderators. Making nasty or malicious comment about the site or the moderators are not tolerated; if you have a problem with the site or any of the staff, please privately message them, or contact an administrator. You'll only make the situation worse!

III. We have ZERO tolerance for multiple accounts. Only one account per IP address is allowed. If you have any special circumstances, such as two siblings in one household, message a member of staff and we shall sort it out. Consequence: Multiple accounts will be deleted. If you repeat this, a 7 day suspension will be issued, followed by a permanent ban.

IV. Don't play officer. If you think that a member is breaking the rules, press the report button! That's what it's there for. Do not victimize other members, publicly request a member be banned, or imply that they will be banned. You're just making the situation worse and you're just making the other member feel even worse. Consequence: Warnings will be issued for each offense (warnings will last for 1 month). When the warning level reaches 100%, a 48 hour ban will be issued.


Posting

I. No baiting members (unless of course, they have gills and fins). Baiting includes teasing, goading, taunting and harassing with the intent of provoking another member. If involved in a debate, argue over the point, not the poster. Consequence: Warnings will be issued on a 10%-30%-60%-100% scale for each offense (warnings for baiting will last for 2 weeks). When the warning level reaches 100%, a 2 day ban will be issued.

II. No flaming members (barbeque-ing, however, is acceptable). Flaming includes personal attacks, repeated insults, directed arguments not pertaining to that particular thread. Any kind of discrimination (race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, etc.) is unacceptable. Leave your prejudice at the door. Better yet, burn it. Consequence: A double warn will be issued for each offence. When the warning level reaches 100%, a 7 day ban will be issued.

III. Our content is 13+. Please respect the diverse age groups we have at Feral. If you are unsure if a post, picture, signature, link, or avatar would constitute a violation of forum rules, contact an administrator or moderator for clarification beforehand. And even if you are still not sure, make sure that it's NSFW! Consequence: Members violating this rule will be banned on the first offense. The length of the ban will vary depending on the severity of the infraction.

IV. Use your brain! To maintain the integrity of discussions on this site, please put some thought into your posts. Posts containing only smilies or one word answers are considered a mild form of spam. We suggest proofreading your messages to ensure they make sense and are relevant to the thread. We understand that short responses are sometimes warranted, but try to keep those to a minimum. Consequence: Posts in violation of this rule will be removed.

V. No spamming. We don't want it! Spamming includes posting the same message repeatedly (in one or more threads) and double posting, triple posting, or more. There is an edit button, so there is no excuse for multiple posts! Consequence: Posts in violation of this rule will be removed immediately. Repeat offenders will receive a warning.
