*IMPORTANT* General Rules & Guidelines for Planet Ill!

[Dr Doom]

Welcome to all new members. For starters, if you have any questions or problems relating to registration/logging in/posting, visit the FAQ first to see if the solution is in there, as well as explaining how the board works.

For the use of the board there are a couple of general guidelines which must be followed!

GENERAL RULES & GUIDELINES

• NO parsed links.
  
  Under posting options you'll find that the box "Automatically parse links in text" is checked. Uncheck it. To protect the site against hacking/phishing attacks we do not allow directly clickable links. Posts that contain parsed links will be deleted! I understand you all enjoy the convenience but it's a security measure. To fully understand, try clicking the link below (it's harmless, but you'll see how it works).
  
  http://www.google.com
  
  See what happened? Now imagine someone with malicious intent using parsed links, or a hacked account posting parsed links. That's why we only allow links that are posted in this format:
  
  www.google.com
  
  If you come across a parsed link on the board, please report to a mod.
  
  
• NO profanity in thread titles and NO discriminatory slurs at all!
  
  For appearance sake thread titles containing profanity are not allowed and will be edited, so keep this in mind when you make a thread. Within threads profanity is allowed freely. Discriminatory slurs aren't allowed at all and will be censored. Trying to get creative with them will get you a warning, with the third warning comes a ban.
  
  
• NO illegal content where noted.
  
  Once again, there is zero tolerance. Any illegal content posted on the board will be immediately deleted and you'll be warned. Cross the line again and you're looking at a ban. While you're free to discuss leaks and whatnot, we will delete posts that request or ask for links. We can't control what goes down behind closed doors so while you might think this a problem, I'm sure you can find a creative solution, presumably.
  
  
• NO exposures/bullying.
  
  There will be zero tolerance on this matter, you'll immediately face a ban. We alienate or lose posters because of ongoing stuff like this and it harms us the community. You can clown each other of course but understand there's a limit to how far you can go. Posting pictures, information or anything else of a poster without his/her consent will lead to a permanent ban and in severe cases we'll cooperate with authority if necessary. Be warned!
  
  Obviously there are also the standard behavioral rules which I'm sure you can all figure out for yourselves.
