1. First off, DO NOT POST-WHORE! You post-whore, you will suffer the consequences of this forum which may result in your posts being deleted, you getting a bad tag name, etc. This also means NO double posting! Also please try to refrain from one word posts. That is also considered post-whoring not to mention spamming of a thread. Your posts may also be deleted!!

2. Use swearing moderately. It is allowed but do not use it offensively.

3. Keep the forum clean by posting in the correct sections

4. Multimedia is uploaded by users for users on their own server space. PPStage is not responsible for leechers.

5. Do not request more than once a week...Do not even request if you are new to this forum. You should have at least 20-30 good, quality posts before you are even in this section. You will be monitored closely by the staff. Read the other rules in the request section. For all people filling request, you are under NO obligation to fill any request. It is completely up to you.

6. Nothing is "Official PPStage" unless ALL mods and admins have agreed to it. Don't start using the PPStage name on whatever you want. We will take action against it.

7. We do not support any chats, IRC channels, sites, forums, etc. unless the staff has stated that we will. If your Channel/chat etc. supports leeching and you promote it on this site, all moderators have the right to delete whatever they see unappropriate with or without giving you a heads up.

8. Please DO NOT use huge banners and avatars. Some people are still on 56k here. Also, all banners and avatars will be in good taste. There will be no offensive material or else the staff will remove without your discretion. There will be no references to sexuality and anything that can be considered SEXUAL. If one person complains, that's enough for us to ask you to take it down.

9. There will be NO promotions of other sites here. This is the PPStage forum. Things should be PPStage-related. Only time a link to another site should show up is in the multimedia section or in the Random Chit Chat section.

10. There will be no pornography or anything along those lines here. I don't care if there is pornography on the site you are linking to. It is still a NO-NO!!! This site does not believe it and would like to obtain the site's professionalism.

11. There will also be no discussion of sexuality. Remind yourself that there are minors here. Not only that, some people find it offensive. They came here to talk about random chit chat - movies, music, games, etc. Not about your sexuality, not about your sex life, not about your current martial status. This is a PARAPARA site. Keep it that way. Use blogs, journals, instant messaging if you would like to discuss with other people.

12. Keep your personal life off this board. Sorry, this is a parapara forum, not your online journal. There is a place for that kinda discussion. I would like to direct you to www.xanga.com, livejournal.com, or pitas.com for all your personal needs. This rule means you shouldn't be discussing anything that may have to do with another board member, your family, etc. that may disturb this board.
Example:
Not Acceptable: Me and so and so (from this board) had a huge fight. I'm not sure what to do. He keeps on being a jerk about it and won't stop and I don't see how I can solve this problem.
Acceptable: School is finally over and I can't wait to get off to college!

13. If a serious problem arises (which is has before) contact ALL staff members immediately. Things will need to be solved in the swiftest and most careful way possible. We do not wish anyone to be uncomfortable or in danger on this site. All admins and mods make all decisions on this site as a group.

14. You will be banned if you cause any problems to members, staff, or this site. We will most likely not consider you back on the forum if you cause a huge disruption, and again, it has happened before. We would like to make sure that everyone single visitor is taken care of and comfortable. Again, the staff will review the matter and make a decision as a group and once a decision has been set in stone, it will not be reversed so watch what you do. If you are unsure of things, contact the staff.

15. If you have a question, ask the staff! We will get back to you asap. It's better to ask than have your topic shut down.
