Advertising websites is prohibited in posts and new threads. Anyone who makes a post JUST to advertise a website will have that website URL banned from WHForums. (To clarify, if the URL to the site is not needed and you can post the contents, don't try to force users to go to that URL.) This means that everytime you post or try to link to that website (in a post or signature), it will appear as an asterisk.
However you may put the link in a banner or in your sig but if your site is banned from WHforums already then you may not advertise your site in your sig.
Spam is classified in a number of ways. It can be:
Useless posts
Reviving a dead topic (something older than a month and on page 3, for instance)
A short, uneducated reply
A reply agreeing with someone, yet posting no actual opinion
A post that breaks a rule
A "flame" is when you insult someone. Here at WHForums we try to have a community where you can freely express your views without too much moderation, but at the same time we do not want your views if it can offend another member. Thus, if you flame someone outside of the Rants forum, you are risking being banned. Now, we do not read EVERY single post on the forum, but we try. If a flame is nothing to do with race, sexuality, family members, or threats (such as killing) chances are it's probably not a bad insult.just take it to the bitch board.
Under any circumstances do not insult our staff. They are here to help you and if you want to insult them do it in the hate board, period.

Expected from Staff
Administrators have the power to do anything -- see your IP address, IP ban, appoint moderators, make new forums, edit forums, edit threads, edit users, ban users, and a whole list of other things.
Global Moderators are allowed to edit, move, lock, and delete threads, as well as seeing your IP address. G-mods can also ban users.
Moderators can only edit, move, lock, and delete threads in forums they moderate, as opposed to administrators and Global Moderators who have control of all forums. To see what moderator moderates what forum, you can look on the index page or check the Staff page mentioned above.
If you have a problem with anything then contact Guardian Devil or Twist of Lemon and they will try to resolve your problem, but dont come to us with member rants, go to the hate board.
Staff are chosen by GD and his team and we will un-mod or ban anyone that abuses thier power,we offer you the spots and if you are unhappy then dont ask again.
This covers the basic rules but please expect more to be added as we get bigger and better but please remember lets have fun and make this the best site ever.
