-- Links to personal blogs ARE allowed.

-- "How to" discussions on illegal topics, such as how to make bombs, are NOT allowed.

-- Absolutely, positively no trolling, stalking, flaming, blatant insults, racial comments, slandering (see the most important rule here: http://www.gorums.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2).

-- Because we have a category for creative topics, we also require that all posters follow copyright laws. Please do not use copyrighted material as your own. It's appreciated if, when using copyrighted material, you include the author, etc.

-- You must be over 18 to be on these forums. Violation will result in an immediate ban.

The first violation will result in a warning. The second one will earn a month long ban from the forums, and the third one will earn a three month ban. If the behavior continues after that, the site administrators and forum moderators will discuss whether or not a permanent ban is needed.

The administration of the Gorums reserve the right to include any other rules that might be needed as the operation of these boards proceeds.

Additional rules to note:
1.) Report harassment and otherwise 'creepy' behavior to the staff. This includes requests for personally identifying information, soliciting money in private, and so on. Your safety is our top priority here. Please keep in mind that if someone harasses you, they may harass others.

2.) Be polite, be civil, be respectful. Just because something is not expressly forbidden, does not mean that we will tolerate it. If you are constantly rude, inconsiderate, or otherwise act like a jerk, we will smack your privileges around until you get the hint and behave. If you cannot behave, you will be directed elsewhere.

3.) One person per account, one account per person. Do not share your account with others, do not try to sign up under multiple accounts.

4.) You will not reveal identifiable details about another person on these boards without their express permission that a moderator has seen.
