These will be the rules for the forums. *Open to revision*
1. Do not spam, in any case. 2. Be respectful to others. 3. Do not advertise, unless it is relevant to the topic. 4. Do not post anything inappropriate. 5. Trolling is not permitted. 6. Please spell properly and use proper grammar. 7. If you are replying to a thread in need of help. Help or do not post. 8. Please make an effort to see if a thread with the same topic has already been made. 9. If someone does something wrong, report them and do not engage into a flame war. 10. Do not talk in all caps. They are annoying and disrespectful. 11. Do not bump a thread just to say "bump". 12. Do not claim over any work that isn't yours. 13. Post constructively. (Negative feedback is fine as long as it's in a factual, and civilized manner.) 14. Do not post of any personal information or personal messages. 15. Signatures may not exceed with a maximum height of 120 pixels or maximum width of 700 pixels. 16. Do not make identical posts, for any reason. 17. Abusive personal messages will be reported and may lead to a ban. 18. Do not post, simply to raise your post count, posts consisting of only a word or so, like "+1" and "lol" aren't constructive posts, and will be deleted. 19. Make descriptive topic titles. Don't just title it a comment you have about it.
I based some of these rules from those of common forums I've been to and from, such as Facepunch or GamingSteve. These rules are not final quite yet, and discussion is open on what needs to be added/removed. *Thread needs sticky*

Just though t I would this 1) The warning system. Alright, before this add on, there was already a warning system, the bad part was you had to go to your profile and actually look for it and the only way you could tell you have a warning is if you have a note attached to it. This update allows the user to see his warning percentage (from 1-100%). Of course, over time, if you continue to make up for your deeds, the percentage will lower until it goes back to 0, but if you continue trolling or flamming in the forums, it will rise. 25% will lead to a 1 day suspension 40% will lead to another day's suspension 50% will lead to two days 75% will lead to another two days and 100% may lead to a ban from forums. Though this rule is still not official or anything, you would need to do some massive trolling/flamming in order to reach 100% Any spamming though, like the wow gold is an auto 100% warning and auto ban.
