We at Otaku Theory would like to keep things clean and friendly and so does this forum, like every other forum, need forum rules! We expect every single member to follow these so that we can have an epic community on a forum that will then run as smoothly as possible! Thank you.
Everyone should read this topic fully at least once so they know what is and isn't allowed here on OT!
1 Being disrespectful, insultive, racist and any other kind of inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated. Once the staff gets notified someone is disobeying this rule we will take immediate action which will probably lead to a double warning or temporary ban, depending on the situation.
2 Extension of the above rule, Treat every member on this forum, incl our staff members, with respect! Meaning, being rude or mean to someone is not the kind of behaviour we want to see. We assume you also do not want people to be mean or rude to you, so do not act foolish like that to somebody else as well! If someone on the forum is being mean or rude to you, please report it to a staff member and we will take care of it. DO NOT copy the imature behaviour and be mean or rude back, that will not solve anything.
3 Posts containing explicit sexual substance or violent images is not in any circumstance allowed. Any post(s) containing explicit sexual or violent material will be deleted, and the poster will be dealt with accordingly!
4 Spamming and double posting is something we do not want to see unless its stated in a thread its allowed! If a member keeps spamming or double posts on purpose the messages WILL be removed and a moderator will contact the poster. If the person continues with such behaviour the poster will definitely receive a warning!
5 As for your signature area, you can have up to 5 images in total but the max limit in height (incl text) is 500px. If you ignore this rule and have more than 5 images in your signature or you go over the max limit in height we will edit your signature without further notice. (of course after editing your signature we will contact you and tell you why etc.) No sexual substance or violent images are allowed within your signature area and same goes for your avatar image!
6 Advertising your own forum or website on OT is not allowed, though you may put up a link in your signature to your own forum or website!
7 Do not bump threads unless you have got something say that is relevant to the topic and does not disgrace any of the above rules!
8 Creating more than 1 account is not allowed! Whatever the reason may be for you to want to create another account, do not do it. If you have a problem with your previous account or have a problem with the forum/a member, please contact a staff member immediately!
Once noted a member has more than 1 account , the most recent registered account(s) will be permantly banned without further notice!
Follow all of the above rules and you all will be fine. Do violate one of the above rules and you will certainly get chased by one of the staff members
