Battle City, Seto Kaiba, and all affiliates are NOT RESPONSIBLE for any interactions between users. Abuse must be reported. However, we are NOT LIABLE for anything that happens in user to user interaction. Please be safe, don't share personal information.

1 - Do NOT sexually harass people on this forum. This includes trying to "find girlfriends" in a duel chat, etc.
There are no warnings.

There are no second chances.

Offenders who are caught will be permanently removed from this site.

2 - Leave personal drama out of the forum. Debates and discussions are allowed, but don't get to insulting each other. Breaking up arguments is not the job of Moderators or Administrators - DO NOT make anyone waste time breaking up your fights. The term is "moderator", not "mediator". DO NOT bring up your issues publicly on this forum (as in, don't threaten to harm yourself or others, do not glorify eating disorders, etc.) If an argument ensues and you are asked to drop the issue and fight through PMs or messaging programs where we can't see you, and you do not comply, the topic WILL BE CLOSED.

3 - Following rule 2, leave discussion of any religion or lack-there-of OUT of the forum. It creates too much drama and too many social problems.

4 - Do NOT harass newbies (new users). Everyone was new at some point. If you think someone is acting stupid, point them to a set of rules, explain to them that what they're doing is wrong, or REPORT IT! n00bs are subject to harassment by veteran members. smile

5 - Don't complain about the moderators or the administrator here or anywhere on the forum. If you want to whine, keep it on your personal e-mails or messaging accounts (I don't mean PMs).

6 - Please do not ask people for personal information such as real names, address, phone number, etc. Be smart, people. Don't give this information out either, we want the forum to be a safe place. smile Also, in your profile DO NOT give your REAL first AND last name. First names ONLY, please.

7 - Please make an effort to keep your threads posted in the correct topic. They exist for a reason. Off topic posts will be considered spam (see rule 7).

8 - ASK before RPing any character from Yu-Gi-Oh. Do not just make an account and start posting as that person, PLEASE ask first. You must ask before being dubbed official. Also, for new people: please try to check and make sure the character you are requesting is not already taken. For example, don't ask to RP as Kaiba... >_>

9 - Do not put up spam posts, such as repeated posts, "..........", or bumps (in relation to bumping: if the thread is not on the first page of a section, don't post in it. That's a bump) As mentioned, do not post offtopic, random, or redundant posts. Do not double post. This is also spam. Here is also a definition about SPAM: Freakishly short Posts ,Pointless Posts not relating to topic, Re-ask same question (not check other pages on topic), and Conversational Posts.

10 - Links to direct downloads of Illegal And Copyrighted Material are PROHIBITED.
Some Examples are:
-1.Torrents
-2.P2P Programs
-3.Direct Links For Downloading Porn or related material.

11 - Do not text duel on this forum.

12 - We don't generally care if you swear or cuss, but if it becomes excessive a moderator will speak to you about it. Also, DO NOT use racial or sexist slurs - they are offensive and inappropriate.

13 - Do not ask to be a moderator or to have any other staff position. We (the admins) will add moderators as needed. Requesting to be made a moderator or staff member may result in you never being offered future positions.
