There are ten levels of rules on these boards that correspond to the number of warning marks that may be given based on the warning system at InvisionFree. It's pretty simple to figure out: 1 warning is given for every level that the broken rule is. Once you amass five, you're gone. No ifs, ands, or buts. Admins are automatically exempt from the warning system, but not from the rules, and therefore are subject to temporary or permanent reduction or removal of powers upon breaking them. Upon removal of powers, they are subject to the warning system and are thus judged accordingly. Any member may be suspended or banned at any time and for any reason (or none) at all. The owner of this board (Heroman) reserves the right to change these rules at any time and without notice to any members, moderators, or administrators. The owner also reserves the right to breach these rules in the absolute necessity to preserve the boards and/or the safety, privacy, and/or security of its members at any time without penalty so long as a reason qualifying for the afore mentioned reasons is provided should the need ever arise.

LEVEL ONE

1) No double-posting. This is a minor, usually preventable offense. In the event that a bug or other error has caused a double-post, and there is evidence to prove it, a warning of this nature may be repealed.

2) No non-text posting. Again, this is usually preventable, but if evidence of a bug and/or other error is presented, a warning of this nature may be repealed.

3) Posting a post that contains minorly unlawful or other minor infringes on the InvisionFree TOS is a non-repealable offense. Since it is only a very minor infringment, you will be warned and asked to manually edit the content.

LEVEL TWO

1) No minor spam posts. This differs from the moderately and majorly spamming posts in that this post only appears once and doesn't go into too much detail about the site it leads to. It earns 2 non-repealable warnings.

2) No excessive use of 1337nese (leetnese). Yes, I love 1337 as well, but some people cannot read it. You can feel free to post a sentence or two in 1337, but nothing more than that. If you do use more 1337, provide a translation for the ENTIRE paragraph in 1337 so everyone knows what you're saying. Breaking this rule nets 2 warnings: 1 non-repealable and 1 repealable. You may repeal 1 warning by going in and either removing the excess 1337 and/or providing a translation for the phrase(s) in 1337.

3) Lesser posts infringing on the InvisionFree TOS. These posts are a little more infringing than the Level One offense, but don't yet seriously go against it. You will earn 2 non-repealable warnings for this offense.

The other rules will be posted later when I have time.
