No profanities or offensive words/phrases in your user name.
One account per person. If you for some reason feel you need one more, contact an admin prior to registering. (A name change is not a reason; you can buy those with tokens. Wanting to advertise more than one site is not a reason; you can submit as many ads as you want using the one account.)
No pretending to be someone you're not. (Using the user name of others from various other communities etc.)
Content and Copyrights
You may not steal, duplicate or other ways plagiarize or rip off any content from RPGU. All material found here is offered to you freely by the goodwill of the staff and members of RPGU. Treat it as such.
When using one of the offered resources here at RPGU, remember to keep the credit tag in place. If you do not, it would be considered stealing. Don't be that guy! (Note that artists crediting rules may vary for graphics - be sure to read any credit rules set forth by the individual artist BEFORE using their images!)
Do not change any content found here and then claim it as your own. Being inspired by someone else is fine. Stealing from them is not.
When making a thread, do so in the appropriate area. The RPGU staff have the right to move or delete any inappropriate topic. We may or may not PM you a copy of deleted content.
