The sole purpose of this forum is too maintain a positive and enjoyable community for all of it's users and visitors.
It's genuine aim is to have fun, and although everybody values the freedom of speech, there are some simple and easy to follow rules that must be laid down to keep the atmosphere of the board healthy and clean.
-------------------------------------------
Rules - Major:
Here are the major rules, which under no circumstances should be broken. Breaking major rules will result in a warning, and if necessary, a ban.
1: No Pornography / Explicit Content Pictures: This Board is open to a wide audience of people, including children. Please keep all explicit content (Anything horrendous, overly-gorish, gruesome, nude, satanic, putrified and evil items to yourself.
2: As stated above, the posting of anything illegal or incriminating and any links to illegal or incriminatng things will immediately be deleted.
3: SPAM: Your posts should not be all IN CAPS, or contain an overload of colours, smilies or large text. Single-word posts are not permitted either.
Likewise, posts should not be obviously attention-seeking or nonsense messages, and double-posting is unneccesary (simply edit/modify your first post). Any posts of this kind is called SPAMMING, and apart from being annoying and rude, it will not be tolerated.
4: FLAMES: If you have a problem with another member, contact them via way of Private Message and not on the boards. With that in mind, the posting of harsh abuse, harrasment, and 'trolling' will not be tolerated. This can be considered spam and will result in an immediate Warning. Stay respectful to other people on the boards, and you won't have a problem.
5: Images in your signature are fine, however, when they get to big, there needs to be a limit. No images should be posted in your signature greater than 500 x 300. Anything bigger than this is known to stretch or 'warp' the size of the board and leave an unimpressing look on the forums.
This is a 500x300 pixel canvas, if you are unsure of the limits.
Punishment & Consequences of your Actions...
The Forum runs on a 3 Strikes, You're Out policy. For violating an above rule, you will be warned once. And then a second time should behaviour persist. You will then be on your last warning, in which you will then be banned for any amount of the time the Staff sees fit.
The bantimes are:
- One Month
- Three Months
- One Year
- Permanent
You will be notified as to how long you are banned for. You will also be notified as to when you have been warned.
-------------------------------------------
Hints / Tips / General Information:
The only way to achieve a higher ranking is to post messages, but in some cases a particular Rank may be given to you for performing a task worthy of reward - ie. submitting reviews and graphics, advertising the site etc.
You may also get rewarded for spotting out forum errors, such as a typo, broken link, or broken images.
Member Ranks:
Staff Ranks:
Savannah Founder - The Administrator(s)
Savannah G-Mod - Global Moderators
Savannah Moderator - Moderators
Special Ranks:
As stated previously, special ranks may be awarded to people for general help around the boards, including custom titles, coloured names, and ranking status.
These are redeemable by spending Savannah Cred at the shops, but they aren't cheap.
Please do not ask or beg to have your Rank increased or for Moderator status, this will do little to increase your chances.
HOW TO ADD AN IMAGE TO YOUR SIGNATURE:
In the Signature section of your Profile (it's towards the bottom, in the Preferences area), just add the following code to add your image - but use your own image location, of course.
If you want to use an image that is larger than the Sig Rule will allow, you can resize it using the code below:
You might need to play with the Width and Height values if the image becomes distorted.
You can also use standard HTML codes for Center and Bold, etc. For example, if you want your Signature picture in the center, use the following.
How to Post a long link Neatly:
If you have a relatively long link, and want to shorten it, use this code:
It will convert the link into clickable writing, known as a hyperlink.
