Myst & URU Obsession: Forum Guidelines & Assistance
Please take a few minutes to read and review.

Welcome to Myst & URU Obsession. Thanks for visiting.

• What's Not Allowed:
  The don'ts of the forum:
  
  
  • Spam - Including, but not limited to: Posting redundant, nonsensical, or off-topic posts, advertising, or posting links with the sole intent of advertising a site (we don't put up ads because we're not fond of them, so please respect our policy concerning that).
    
  • Double Posting - While updates to older threads and reminders are fine, posting several messages in a row in the same thread is not. Please use the edit function (green arrow above your post) to add to your last post so that the threads remain easy to read.
    
  • Heavy Cursing/Swearing
    
  • Trolling/Flaming - Including, but not limited to: Attacking other members, excessive use of overpunctuation or caps ("yelling"), backseat moderating, posting on behalf of banned members.
    
  • Illegal behavior: Impersonation/Warez/Cracked Software
    
  • Multiple User Accounts - As a general rule multiple accounts are not allowed, however, if you need a secondary account for any (valid) reason, for example for puzzles or your little brother, feel free to contact us.
    
  • Pornographic Material - The posting of (or reference to) sexually suggestive or explicit images or text in any way, shape or form, is not allowed at Myst & URU Obsession.
    
  • Privacy Infringement - Publicly posting personal or private information about other members or people without their permission is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, private images, correspondence from private instant message conversations, private forums, private e-mails, or the forum's Private Messenger (PM) system.
    
  • Editing out Moderators Edits
    
  
  
  
• Consequences/Member Action
  
  
  • Consequences of Illegal behavior - Any illegal behavior or reference to such behavior in general will result in immediate banning and notification of the proper authorities.
    
  • Reporting Posts - A "Report this Post" link is located below every post (red arrow pointing up). Everyone can use this feature to flag posts for the moderators to view.
    
  • Three Strike System - Matters of inappropriate posting or rule breaking will be taken up with members privately and directly, and as a last resort we will issue strikes for continuous offenders. In general, on receiving a third strike the member will be banned, but the severity and circumstances of any offense, as well as the time between the offenses, will be taken into account on a case by case basis.
    In addition to the Strikes the staff can take other measures as they see fit, including probation periods.

  How to format your signature:
  
  
  
  • You are allowed as many images/banners as you like as long as collectively they don't exceed 500x100
    
  • Text allowed - even several lines but please be reasonable here - you should not take up more space than the 500 x 100 picture.
    
  • Banners in signatures may not exceed more than 30kb.
    
  • Avatars should not exceed 10kb, and No flash avatars or signatures are allowed.
