Hello, welcome to the forum! Please read the following rules before you start posting.
Bumping / Invisible Bumping / Double Posting
We do not allow any form of bumping within 24 hours of your last post, this includes invisible bumping where the member posts to bump the topic up and then deletes the post.
In regards to double posting; please use the "modify" button to edit your previous post. Sometimes double posting is necessary, but please try and avoid it.
If we find any members bumping a topic up within 24 hours, then that topic will be locked and you will not be allowed to create a new topic until 24 hours are up.
Spamming
Remember that a forum is not a chatbox, reponses like 'yes', 'ok', etc. are considered spam. In other words: please do not post if you don't have anything necessary to say.
Copyright Material
If you are creating a topic where the content is copyrighted, then please do not post the full material in your post. Just add a small paragraph followed by a direct link for members to read. Failure to do so will end up in a locked topic.
Signatures / Avatars
Please make sure any images in your signature or avatar complies with the ProBoards' Terms of Service, and is appropriate for this forum. If we feel that your any images in your signature or avatar aren't appropriate, then we will remove them and leave a message in place.
Your signature is limited to a maximum width of 100 pixels, and a maximum height of 100 pixels. Any signatures that break the sizes specified will be removed and a message left in place.
Advertising
We do not allow any sort of advertising within your post. Any posts found to contain advertisements without permission will be edited by a member of staff and a message left in place. Continuous advertising from you will result in a warning or your account banned.
Foul / Bad Language
There should not be a need for any type of foul / bad language within your posts, so please keep it clean. Anyone found to be breaking this rule will be warned and possibly banned, other words can be used to get your message across.
As an example, the type of language we discourage being used in your posts are any words that you would not use in front of your teacher.

Custom Rank Titles
There are two ways to get a custom rank title, and they are as follows:
1. By gaining 5000 posts - When you have 5000 posts, you may PM a staff member and request a custom rank title, and you should get your custom rank title inserted into your profile, however, we reserve the right to deny any member a custom rank title for any reason.
2. You can be offered a custom rank title. If we feel that a member here deserves the right to a custom rank title, we will offer that member the opportunity to have one. However, I must stress, that this is purely at our discretion, and we will choose the members. If anyone PMs a staff member to request one, this will result in a note being put on the account which may result in a custom rank title refusal at a later date.
Finally, enjoy your stay here!
