[Maxi]

  Post spam  or Re-post Closed, Modified, Deleted Content.
  Repetitively post in the incorrect forum (example: minecraft discussion belongs in minecraft forum).
  Openly argue with a moderator. Contact the Moderator via a private message.
  Share your account. Forum accounts are intended for the use by one person.
  Create alternate, backup, or multiple accounts.
  Publicly post or otherwise share PMs with other users unless you have the expressed permission of the sender to do so. Private Messages are intended to be just that - private.
  II. The following topics are strictly off limits, including in external links:

  Soliciting, begging, auctioning, selling, advertising, referrals
  Racism, discrimination
  Drugs, alcohol
  Religious, political, and other “prone to huge arguments” threads
  III. No Backseat Moderating:
  
  Let the Forum Moderators do the moderating. Backseat Moderating is when people who are not Moderators try to enforce the forum rules. Whenever you see a person breaking the rules, take advantage of the "Report this post to a moderator" link. Or simply IGNORE the offensive post(s) or thread. The most common backseat reply is the "+1 in before lock" phrase. Backseat moderating is annoying, and pointless.
  
  IV. Report Post to the Moderators:
  
  Should you observe a fellow forum member breaking these rules please report the post by clicking the Report Post button "" located to the left of every post, or feel free to contact any of the Forum Staff.
  
  

V. Lifetime Achievement Award:

Users who are found to be repeat offenders will be removed from the forums.

Should there be an issue with any of the above, Please make a thread in the support section.
