As MyBB grows bigger, we as the staff feel it is time to post a global set of rules for the forums.

This post will outline the rules we have in place here at MyBB.

Posting Rules

Post in the appropriate forum! - If you don't know where to post something, PM a moderator and they will tell you where to post it.
No Spamming - This is Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. We are trying to run a professional forum, and any SPAM messages will be deleted on sight.
No Advertising - The only form of advertising allowed is inside your signature or in the Showcase forum. Any others will be deleted on sight.
No Flaming - These are insults toward another member. We will not tolerate this and you will be promptly warned to stop. You will receive a maximum of three warnings, and if you continue, you will receive a ban. The worse the offense, the worse the ban. It is possible to be IP Banned in extreme cases.
No Bumping - Bumping of threads older than a month without probable cause will result in warnings. Deletion of posts will happen if there are cases of repetitive or failing to stop after warning(s).
No Typing in All Caps - Typing in all caps makes you look like your yelling and looks childish. You will receive warning(s) if it becomes repetitive.

Signature and Avatar Rules

Images - You are only allowed two images with total maximum dimensions of 468 x 100 pixels.
Signatures with images are allowed a maximum of 3 text lines along with the image. Exceptions can be made for smaller images.
If your signature is text only, you are allowed a maximum of 5 lines, in the normal font size. 10 lines for small font size. We do not allow font sizes larger then our normal font size.
We only allow avatars that are up to 100 x 100 pixels and 10kb.
We do not allow images that are in .php file extensions. This does not include Forum Statistic images and Image Rotation Scripts, so long as they adhere to the Image Size Limits.
Text may not be larger than the normal text size.

Changing Of These Rules

The staff of this site reserve the right to modify these rules without notice.

Thank You,
MyBulletinBoard Staff

Any questions about these rules can be sent to me via PM.

We've recently noticed a dramatic increase in the amount of thread bumping that's been going on. I'd just like to remind you that bumping any thread without probable cause that hasn't been replied to in over a month, should be left alone. PM Warnings will be handed out if the bumping is continued to be abused.

Use of the RTL or LTR or any "hidden" characters are now, in general, prohibited from use on these forums. If I find they are being used the posts will be removed and warnings will be issued.

As for what RTL or LTR means; RTL stands for Right-to-Left override. Meaning everything within a certain div will be switched to right-to-left. The opposite is for LTR (Left-to-right).

I want to remind everyone that your signature image cannot be larger than: 468 x 100 pixels.

Thank you!

I also want to just point out again that text in sigs can be no larger than the the normal font size used in posts. You can use the text sizes 'small' (normal size), 'x-small', and 'xx-small'. Anything larger than this will be removed and warnings may be issued if larger text is continuously re-added.
