POINT OF VIEW ~ FORUM GUIDELINES
This forum is bound by the Proboards Official Terms of Service. Please become familiar with the documentation here, as it will be referred to throughout the Point Of View Member Guidelines.
SIGNATURES
Please keep in mind that no one likes to be inundated with HUGE signatures. Not only do they make reading the forums more difficult, they use up bandwidth and try patience...
As a general guideline, we would like to see image dimensions used in signatures stay below 500W x 200H... Please keep text to a mininum, meaning please don't include a transcription of your favorite passage of your favorite novel...
In the Proboards Terms of Service, it is stated that certain forms of "adult" content are considered a violation and can cause the Message Board to be completely deleted. Therefore, as a general guideline, we ask that images used for Signatures not include any type of blatantly defamatory, obscene or pornographic images. (Common sense here, people.) In the event that such imagery is used for Signatures, the member will be requested to update their profile. Those that do not update their profiles may find their posting privileges suspended until an update has been made. Just keep in mind that you may not want to be the person responsible for getting the forum deleted... I think the consequences would be severe, to say the least
AVATARS
Default dimensions for Avatars are set to 65W X 65H. Maximum Avatar dimensions are 100W X 100H. In the event that a user attempts to adjust the settings to anything larger than the maximum allowed size, the image will automatically be resized to the default size (65 X 65). Images do not need to be square, just remember to keep the proportions accurate. If you need help with this, please contact the Moderator for assistance.

AVATAR GALLERY
We have put together a Custom Avatar Gallery, which can be located here. This Gallery may be used in place of the Default Proboards Avatars, by following the instructions on the Gallery's main page.
SPAMMING
Spamming will absolutely not be tolerated. Posting privileges will be suspended upon first instance of spamming (this is hoping that the incident was unintentional). Second instance will result in the user being permanently banned from using the forum.
IMAGES AND WORDS
We have no* censoring in place. Free speech in this forum is of the utmost importance to the members who post here. We would like to keep it that way. As a general guideline, Following is a list of what is not considered acceptable (again, common sense, people.).
