IF YOU GET 100% WARNING EXPECT TO BE BANNED
1: Do not reply to spammed topics or posts, report them and move along. +10 warning
2: Do not bump topics over and over. +10 warning
3: Do not spam...
This includes the shout box. Posting smileys 30 times is spamming. Posting a bunch of random "vbdvukagyudvucsuay" is spamming. This includes topics and other members profiles as well. Do not post with a single word. Read rule 13 for double posting. +10 warning
4: Do not harass other members, harassment would be rude language, bullying, racism, hate speech, etc. This includes posts/threads, chat box, pm, anywhere on Shaddenare. Do not harass members outside of Shaddenare, if a member provides evidence that you've been harassing them on or off Shaddenare, you will still recieve the punishment. If a reply/thread is enough to make a member want to leave the community, then it does not belong here. Think before you post. +20 warning
5: Do not post personal (identifying) information on ANYONE. This includes yourself as well. +30 warning
6: Do not use racist/sexist statements. +20 warning
7: Do not use inappropriate language anywhere on Shaddenare, not only does bad language give Shaddenare a bad image, but there are also young members in the community. +15 warning

15: Do not bump old topics, unless you actually have something to add to it. i.e, don't find a 6 month old topic and post "Hi"
Bumping a topic that is still relevant and you have a meaningful comment is ok. +5 warning
16: No advertising, i.e, don't post topics on your eBay shop, or selling steam points cards, pointless "come to my website!" topics. This also includes posting replies with links to other forums, even if it is not an advert, these will all be treated exactly as a spam-bot and removed without warning. The only allowed advertising is in the 3rd party (you are not advertising something that you are related with), or on the website profile field if you wish to advertise PM me. +15 warning
17: Do not create multiple threads on the same subject. i.e, don't post a topic for Minecraft in 3 different sub-forums. +10 warning
