READ THE STICKIES! There are threads stickied at the top of each section and they contain important information. If it's clear you haven't read them then you might be probated depending on the whim of the moderators.
Minor Infractions-These can get you probated
•Golden Rule - Ask yourself, "Is my post or reply actually interesting, funny, or contributing to the discussion at hand?" - If not, don't post.
•No chat or chan speak - LOL THAT'S FAIL! OMG LIEK CAN I HAS MUDKIPS ROFLLLL +1 DIAMOND WIN 4 U LULZ - No. Don't do that.
•No Signing Posts - Your username is already there, it's redundant. Use the built in signature box instead.
•No duplicate or redundant threads - First check to make sure the same or similar thread does not already exist. This includes stickied information. Duplicate threads will be deleted.
•No low effort posts - "Hello I'm new here!" "FIRST POST!" "THREAD IS WIN!" "HELP ME FIND UH SERVER" - All examples of why you should have been held back.
•No Memes - If the only response you can think of for something is an overused terrible image with text on it, or a beaten to death catchphrase, you should have a sit down and question your direction in life. "Who am I?" "Do I even have my own personality?" "When did I replace my wit and social interaction skills with a series of shitty .jpg's?" A few examples of things you might consider pondering.
•No PMing Admins, Mods or Ops with bug reports - You will not get special private help. We don't have time for that. The only exception is reporting an exploit or duplication bug.
•No backseat modding - Helpful tips and a link to stickied thread is OK, talking like you have some kind of power isn't. Leave the moderation to the people in charge.
•Do not multi-post - You have a modify button. USE IT.
•Do not BUMP threads - This is worthless and annoying and counts as a low effort post.
Major Infractions - These will get you banned
•No discussing illegal activities - The internet is a big place. Take it somewhere we aren't responsible for. This includes discussing piracy.
•No Racial slurs or sexism - Yeah yeah, shock value humor. We get it. Get bent.
•No spamming - Posting multiple similar threads, posting the same thing multiple times, or posting junk threads.
•No pay-to-play servers - If you are still interested, message an admin, however by default we don't allow those types of servers.
•No Adf.ly links - This forum is an adf.ly free zone. This is a catch-all and includes adcraft or anything else that gives someone money for clicking a link. You will be banned for posting any links like that.
•No ban evasion - We will find out. If you can't wait for a probation to run out, you're better off unplugging your computer.
•No mod sass - We really don't care if you think you're right. We are in charge for a reason.
•No impersonating Ops/Mods/Admins - This includes adding fake mod edits to your posts.
•No asking for ETAs - The next MageCraft update will be released when it is ready. Asking when it will be released just delays the release, as dealing with you and your question takesw time away from development.
Rules for Posting Pictures
•Use Imgur - If you are linking to an image off-site, rehost it on Imgur before posting it here. Any images found to violate this rule will be removed.
•Keep it safe for work - If you are posting a picture that is not safe for work (gore, porn, or anything else you wouldn't show to your wife, boss, or kids) use
