- Talk about adult subjects in an explicit manner.
- Post images, videos or links that with inappropriate content like gore, nudity, obscenity or annoyance.
- Post links which may cause a nuisance to other forum members, such as "Rick Rolling" etc.

A4. Do not accuse others of scamming or hacking, or any other illegal activity ~ making baseless accusations only leads to arguments and often members are targeted wrongly or unfairly. We do not allow you to accuse anyone of hacking, scamming or illegal activities with or without evidence so as to maintain a positive atmosphere about the forum.
A5. Do not post private details or information ~ We do not allow you to post private information about yourself due to security concerns. Disclosing any information about another forum user without their consent is also not allowed. This includes:
- Private messages
- Forum ban reasons/dismissal reasons
- Reputation comments
- Private conversations (MSN, Habbo, etc.)
- Images / videos of the user or links to a page where an image/video of another user is located (this includes social networking sites, facebook, myspace etc)
- Trying to organize real life meet-ups
- It is also not allowed to give out the personal details (specific address, phone number etc) of anyone, forum user or otherwise.
You are, however, allowed to post pictures of yourself and use them as your profile picture, avatar and as a signature image. You may also share your email address and social networking profiles on the forum.
A6. Do not use this forum for any illegal practices, including but not limited to:
- Being involved in hacking or encouraging hacking.
- Breaking of the Habbo Way or encouraging T&C violation.
- Posting warez or other illegal downloads.
A7. Do not post pointlessly ~
~ Do not post off-topic ~ An off-topic post has no relevance to the topic or any previous post that is relevant, or does little to positively contribute to the discussion.
~ Do not spam/make pointless posts. It is not allowed to post random, meaningless, posts or threads on the forum. Examples of this are (ROFLCOPTER!!!!!!); (BYRDSB +HKK; ) (I am a plane)
~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion.
A8. Please observe the correct posting protocol:
- Do not multiple post within the 15 minute edit time of your original threads
- Do not multiple post after the the 15 minute edit time without posting valid additional information.
- Do not pointlessly bump old threads. You may only bump threads if your post is relevant and something that can generate more discussion. What is and isn't pointless is up to the moderators discretion and is final.
A9. Leave moderating to the moderators ~ If you see someone breaking a rule, click the report post icon on that post with and provide a brief description. You must not post a reply to tell another member that they have broken the rule, however if you find a thread which has already been posted then you
MAY reply with a link to that thread however your post must also contain something which is relevant and on topic to the threads subject.
You should also never ignore a moderators warning, change their warnings, open a thread they have closed or use the Moderator Specific BBcode ([modwarn]). This is considered 'Abuse of Moderator Features'. [U]Editing a moderators warning or opening a close thread will result in a private message being sent, while using the moderator warning tags out of the blue will result in an infraction without any prior warning.
A10. Do not give or ask for pointless reputation ~ Give reputation points because the post helped you or you found it funny or insightful – not because the person is your friend. It is not allowed to ask for reputation either, whether directly or indirectly.
A11. Please do not post links to Internet Marketing which you involves your gain at the expense of our members ~ Referral marketing is a method of internet marketing that relies on gaining new customers by referrals, usually through word of mouth. Referrals can be an annoyance for members, and therefore they are not allowed, they are also not allowed in signatures. This rule also covers sites which pay you per click on certain links.
A12. Use the Video BB code appropriately ~ It is not allowed to post more than three videos in any one post or more than one video in any one visitor message. Videos are not allowed to be included in your signature.
