» This forum is rated PG for "parental guidance". Parental guidance may include (but is not limited to) strong language and videos that may be marked "not safe for work" in a non-sexual nature. Because of this, we ask that everyone who signs up be at least 16 years of age. Nothing against the youngsters – nobody wants the grown-ups to get upset at us for allowing their child on the site to play with the big kids.
» You may register under any name you wish, provided that it's rated PG. No drug or sexual references may be used in the making of your name. And because this is Proboards, you are allowed to change your name when you've finished registering. Same rules apply: You change your name, and it has to remain free from adult references.
II. POSTING
» The Staff Team asks that you please try to keep all posts in English. We don't care that you spell certain words differently. We know what you mean if you use "colour". If you've found a video or an article that's in a different language, translate it for those who will probably not understand it.
» Meanwhile, we expect quality over quantity. With that being said, limit your chatspeak. Don't try to think that substituting "u" for "you" is okay, because it's really not. The Staff Team thanks you for not giving everyone a killer headache right off the bat.
» Strong language, as mentioned in our rating rule, is welcomed here – but it is not encouraged. In Layman's terms... Don't treat it as part of your daily dictionary. We're more laid back than most sports forums, but keep in mind that not everyone shares your views on words flying around. So don't keep on calling your least favorite player a "fucking pussy", okay?
III. WARNING SYSTEM
» The Sports Hut does have a warning system in place for those of you who think that it's okay to bend the rules just slightly.
First Warning: Warning level raised to 10%.
Second Warning: Warning level raised to 25%. 24-hour ban from the forum.
Third Warning: Warning level raised to 50%. Three-day ban from the forum.
Fourth Warning: Warning level raised to 100%. One week ban from the forum.
Fifth Warning: Permanent ban from the forum.
If you have any questions about what else might not be acceptable behavior, you are free to PM one of the members of the Staff Team (anyone with a name that's bold).
IV. AVATARS / SIGNATURES
» Here, we request that all avatars be no larger than 150 x 150 pixels. That is the Proboards maximum size, and the server will resize the image if it's too large. When you upload, please look at the size restrictions and permitted types of files. No swimsuits and/or further nudity will be tolerated in your avatars. Keep all pictures rated at PG or less.
» There is also a NO PICTURE SIGNATURE policy. Therefore, we request that you keep the signatures to words or nothing. A maximum of four lines of text are allowed, at a maximum size of 12. Signatures should never be taller than someone's posts.
