Super Smash Flash 2 Vault Rules and Regulations

[20xxMonte]

Welcome to https://flash2vault.board-directory.net/, the preeminent site for Super Smash Flash 2 Modding on the Internet! We hope you find your time here enjoyable and informative, but we must lay down some ground rules to help maintain the high level of quality of our forums. We cannot stress enough that the rules and expectations are a bit different from those found elsewhere on the Internet, especially in the sub-forums. Be wary loss of privileges can result if your posting habits are not up to scratch.

• No open proxies. If you are using an open proxy, you will be IP banned.
  
  
• Do NOT organize trolls here. If you post here about how you've been trolling a forum, you will be infracted.
  
  
• If you get an infraction, and you want to reply to it, think long and hard about that reply. If you respond with flames, sass, etc., you will get a harsh infraction. This applies to harassment of staff outside of the forums for performing their moderating duties.
  
  
• No staff impersonation. This includes any attempt to appear to have certain abilities not possessed, such as using badges as an avatar, using a similar name or other earmarks of staff, or claiming verbally to be staff.
  
  
• Do not be a junior mod. This means that you are not to make posts like: "Inb4 lock" "Ban this guy!" "This is a bad thread!" The moderation staff is more than capable of maintaining these forums; please let them do so without your interference.
  
  
• Do not blatantly advertise other sites. We are not interested in learning more about your upstart clan or anything else of that nature. There is a line between linking to another site for convenience or humor and making an attempt to promote another site; we know the difference.
  
  
• If you do not have something substantial to contribute to a thread, do not bother posting. Just think to yourself, "Does my post add something to this thread?" If the answer is no, think twice about hitting that submit button.
  
  
• Do not bump old threads for no reason. Making meaningless posts in threads that have long since died is strictly prohibited. If you have something of consequence you'd like to add to a thread that has fallen off the front page, feel free to do so.
  
  
• Do not register multiple accounts, ever. This is self-explanatory. If you create an alternate account when infracted or banned, your ban will be extended or made permanent.
  
  
• Do not flame or abuse other members. The anonymity of the Internet does not give you a license to treat the users of this forum disrespectfully. Of course, posts in Firebot may be an exception, but please refer to the rules of that forum. This rule goes at least triple if the member in question is a moderator or administrator, as alluded to above.
  
  
• Do not post illegal stuff here! If it's illegal by US law, do not link to it here.
  
  
• General stupidity is warned. This includes linking to memes, "lol cats", or anything else in that vein. Similarly, we'd ask you to keep discussions of anime or in-game events off these specific forums and on the McleodGaming forums.Please keep all negative comments about other sites to yourself.
  
  
• Do not flood or double post. If you have something more to add to a post you have made, please edit it rather than creating a second post.
  If your post or thread is edited, locked, or deleted by a moderator, do not remake it. Also, do not make a thread asking why your thread was edited, locked or deleted. It was altered for a reason, and if you disagree you can discuss that with the moderator in question, either by posting on their profile or PMing them.
  Post all threads in the correct forum and tag appropriately. For example, [SPRITE MOD] Mr Incredible over Captain Falcon should NOT be in the SSFM section nor should "SSFM team application" be outside of the designated forum.It is fairly easy for us to move threads, but it would be nice if you would be conscientious enough to make your threads in the correct places. If you are unsure where a thread should go, ask a moderator.
  
  
• Do not link to shock sites, or other sites designed to scare the person accessing the site. This goes also for signatures.
  
  
• Do not post or link to pornographic content.
  

Read the rules of the sub-forum in which you would like to post before posting. Some sub-forums don't have specific rules threads, which means they don't have any special rules outside of these global ones. In that case, be sure to read the pinned threads to understand the purpose and posting style of that particular forum.
And that is all you need to know about the rules of this forum! Of course, if a user breaks these rules, they will be warned.
