the progressive apathy of OTx: or, da rules over the years

1. Be friendly to new members. Now, don't think this rule makes you have to say overly-nice things to each other all the time, just be friendly enough. If new members behave out of line, we will deal with them. Just send us a PM and we'll judge what happens.

2. No discriminating furries or any other affinity. If you don't agree with their views, don't say anything.

3. No racial or sexist slurs. Ever. We have no tolerance over these kinds of things and if you use them, you will be punished.

4. No pornography here or anywhere else in the forums. Any pornography found will be deleted immediately on sight.

5. No Rule 34 anywhere except in the Rule 34 section. Any Rule 34 found outside the Rule 34 section will be deleted on sight.

6. No spam. Spam will be deleted. Simple.

7. Suggestions go into the Suggestions section. Any suggestions found anywhere outside the Suggestions section will be moved.

8. No overusing image macros related to My Little Pony on this forum. This doesn't mean you can't use them, so don't be a smartass and say "THIS IS CALLED OT FREEDOM FORUM I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT". Just don't overdo it.

0: Great
1-4: Acceptable
5: Still Acceptable
6+: EXCESSIVE

9. Flamewars are not tolerated. The user or users who started the flamewar will be banned for a time appropriate for the offense.

10. Stop talking about the daydreams you had that involves you screwing another character. It's annoying. If you want to talk about it, go to the Rule 34 forum.

These rules aren't rigid and will change over time.

1. Put the posts in the appropriate section. Ex. If its ponies, put it in ponies
2. No spamming, I don't even have to explain this. (POST RATINGS ARE NOT SPAM)
3. NO PORN OR RULE 34. The site hosting doesn't allow it, and could get the site removed.
4. No flaming. TEASING IS OKAY, starting an all out rage is not. Read more here.
5. Language is okay if it isnt used harmfully, and isnt used excessively.

addendum on flaming:
1st: flamewar started: 1 week ban
2nd: flamewar started:2 week ban
3rd: 3 week ban
4th: 4 week ban
5th: Perma.

This forum, like others, has rules. Disobeying these rules will result in punishment suitable for what you did.

The Rules:
   1. Nothing pornographic. Forumotion doesn't allow it, and if you post anything pornographic, your post will be deleted and so will you. This includes certain shocksites.

   2. Spam is a no no.
   2-1. Quote pyramiding and posting over and over in the wrong forum after being warned is considered spam.

   3. Autoplay is fine as long as it is kept in a spoiler tag. This includes flash.

   4. Respect other users. Teasing and light flaming is fine, but don't be a complete bitch. If you are not sure what is alright and what is not, here are some examples:
   Fine: Joe is an idiot.
   Not fine: Joe is a dragon fag who loves dragon cock in the ass penis penis joe sucks dick coks penis joe is a niggerjew

   5. "BUT IT'S NOT IN THE RULES." Isn't a valid excuse.

   6. "Nobody cares." Isn't a valid excuse

   7. Please try to post in the right forum. You will never be banned for this unless you continue posting the same things in the wrong forum after being warned, but please just try. It makes our jobs just a little easier.

   8. Complaining is okay if you can do it in a civil manner. Just keep it to one thread and don't cause flamewars and you'll be fine.

   9. Do not make an alt to evade bans. If you're banned, you're banned. If you don't know why you're banned or feel you were banned for a bad reason, contact the admins. Do not make another account on here and whine. Not only will the alt be deleted but your ban will be extended.

   10. Large images in signatures need to be placed in a spoiler tag.

   Chatbox rules:
   1. All the rules above still apply.
   2. Don't post videos or images. It breaks the whole chat.
   3. For the love of God don't spam.

1. don't act like a faggot

That's it.

Examples of faggotry:

   being antneecb
   being lckelear
