Forum Rules

Rules

NO SEXUAL CONTENT!!!
Come on. This is a forum promoting purity. Any posting of sexual content in any form will earn you an insta-ban. No second chances.

No Avatars.
Avatars are not allowed at Puriteen. If you are found with an Avatar, it will be removed, and we will politely redirect you to the rules. If another offense occurs, we shall not be as gracious.

Your username must be your real name.
We don't want usernames like "halopwner123". On this forum, please create your username based on your real name. For example, if your name is Joe Bloggs, you could have "Joe Bloggs", "Joe B", or "J Bloggs".

The decisions and actions of the Moderators and Administrators are Final.
Do not under any circumstance argue with a Mod or Admin. Respect their warnings and actions and leave it at that. Arguing with or questioning a Mod's or Admin's actions can lead to more serious actions up to and including banning.

Please use proper capitalization, and Post Meaningful and Clear Topics and Posts.
This is just another courteous thing to do. Don't post a message with all caps, nor a topic. It's considered rude, plus it's a bit more difficult to read. Plus type with proper sentences and punctuation. When you're posting a message, we expect you to use punctuation and put capital letters in the right places so we can read it. Also make use of the edit button in your post. We frown deeply on double posting here and doing so results in a warning.

Be kind to other users and Don't be rude.
You all know what's rude and what's not. You're adult enough for that.

No Profanity.
We have word sensors in place, but remember, parents may not like to have their children exposed to foul language. I would highly suggest you edit your post to remove the offending word.

Multiple Member Accounts Are NOT Allowed.
There is absolutely no reason to have more than one account. If you want to rename your account, an Admin can change it if the new one is available. If you had a second or third warning before, you most likely have been banned for violating the rules after being pointed to them and warned about them several times.

Don't spam.
What's spamming? Posting pointless messages to up your post count, double posting, resurrecting old topics for no reason, etc. We have special ranks that we'll give you if you spam, and you won't like them.

3 Smileys per-post maximum.
Smileys can be fun, but they can get really annoying. Pleas be courteous and only use 3 smileys max per-post. If you are found to abuse this you will immediately get slapped with a warning.

Here are examples to show how the rules are used.

Hi, I’m new to the boards [word not allowed] you guys!

This topic would be removed and the person would be warned only once. If he posted another similar topic he would be removed.

"THIS SITE IS GHEY, VISIT MY somedumbsite.org!"

This person would get wiped in an hour and never come back.

When in doubt, PM an admin to see if what you want to do is okay.

We will be glad to explain a rule you don't understand clearly. We would much rather explain something than to flag a member for violating the rules.

We reserve the right to add to this list whenever necessary, so check this list often. Just like in the real world, ignorance of the rules is no excuse for breaking them.
