1. Be Appropriate.
I don't mind swearing or complaining about things, just don't go overboard with it.

2. Insulting.
Don't come in and complain about other people or other sites. It's lovely that you don't like a place, but I really don't care so much as to want to hear it all the time. And especially please don't insult this site.

3. Promoting.
Feel free to put a link in the allotted area, but DO NOT go posting it in the Shout Box context just to get things out there. If it's to, say, an Author's Page or a specific site that you do not own, go ahead, I do it all the time, but if you just created a board, go to the Plug Board.

4. Name.
Use your regular name if you want, but in the part that you put a link (slot under your name), put the link to the character you are currently on as. That way, we all know who you are.
