Welcome to the Official DuckWorld Forums Rules!
These rules are your ONLY protection from an IMMEDIATE infraction, ban, or IP ban. Please read them carefully and check back often as they are constantly updated and changed. (Fairly, of course.)
1. NO BAD WORDS! Bad words of ANY type - including minor curse words - are NOT permitted or welcomed here at CPC. Minor curse words will receive a 1 day ban, but major ones will receive a permanent, IP-based ban.
2. NO BAD PICTURES, VIDEOS, OR LINKS! This means NO links to bad photos, videos, websites, or ANY type of material that is not appropriate for users younger than the age of 8. We have users of all ages here - let's not be unfair and drive the younger users away.
3. NO ADVERTISING! You may advertise in your signature freely, but it must still comply with rules 1 and 2. Advertising in a post is not accepted.
4. NO SPAMMING! This means TRY not to post with 1 word. (That isn't that big of a deal, but we advise that you do not do it as it can get annoying.) Do not use any more than 10 (will be enlarged/shrank if need be) smilies in your post. Be sure to remain on topic at all times. (This includes posting in the correct topic.)
5. NO BUMPING ON TOPICS THAT ARE OLDER THAN ONE MONTH. Always go to page one of the topic you are viewing and check the date of the first post before making a new one. If you are bumping a topic to put it at the top of the list, YOU MAY ONLY DO IT TWICE IN A ROW WITHIN 48 HOURS!
6. NO BACKSEAT MODDING! If you need to tell the staff anything about another user or his/her topic that concerns you, please report them instead of posting "this needs to be locked!!!" or other such sentences. We WILL ALWAYS RECEIVE AND LOOK INTO YOUR REPORTS AS SOON AS WE CAN.
7. NO POSTING A PICTURE OF YOURSELF OR USING YOUR REAL PICTURE AS YOUR AVATAR! This is for privacy reasons. Such actions will only result in your picture being removed and any of your personal information being deleted.
8. NO POSTING ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF IN REAL LIFE! Saying that you are a boy or girl is acceptable, as well as possibly your age if it is displayed within your public profile. Any posts containing information such as your location, zip code, state, address, phone number, ect. will be deleted or edited out. It is not terrible to do so, but please do not post your real name either. If you do so, you will be politely contacted to edit your post, but will not be pressured to do so.
9. NO ASKING TO BE A MODERATOR OR ADMINISTRATOR! You will be chosen by how active you are, how nice you are, and how well you seem to be able to deal with certain situations. YOUR BEST BET IS TO SEND IN AS MANY ACCURATE AND TRUE (meaning that you can't report someone for something they didn't do and it still count) REPORTS AS POSSIBLE. And as stated above, be active and kind as well.
10. NO BEING RUDE OR FLAMING WITH OTHER MEMBERS! Flaming is technically ALL IN CAPS, but here it is any post involving an argument that seems to be getting out of hand. You will be banned for one week if you are found to be the offender. If need be, you and the person you were flaming with will BOTH be banned if it is seen that you were BOTH to blame for the flame.
11. NO HARASSING OTHER USERS! If you are being harassed by a user, please PM me, or any of the other staff with a quote of the EXACT, NON-EDITED POST OR PRIVATE MESSAGE along with an explanation as to why you feel you are being harassed.
12. NO COPYING ANY MATERIAL FROM THIS SITE FOR YOUR OWN unless you are granted permission by ME. Other administrators are NOT permitted to allow or deny material use UNLESS it is THEIR own material.
13. NO CLAIMING TO BE SOMEONE ELSE! If you come from CPP or some other forum, please do not claim to be someone that you are not. Please do not make an account that "sounds" similar to another account on this forum. (Unless it's something like soccer or something.)
14. NO DISCUSSION OF ANY TYPE OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY OR ANY TYPE OF SEXUAL ANYTHING! Keep everything within this forum G rated, so that younger visitors can come here without their parents having to worry.
15. NO TELLING THE STAFF HOW TO DO THEIR JOB. If something they do worries you, report them and say why it worries you. Or just PM me. (Supersoradud_2.) You don't tell US how to run OUR forum, we won't tell YOU how to run YOURS. (However, if you have some helpful suggestions they will be accepted, but no TELLING us what to do, just SUGGESTING.)
16. HAVE FUN!

IMPORTANT EXCEPTION! ANY of the above rules or set punishments CAN AND WILL BE REPLACED BY AN IMMEDIATE, NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED IP BAN IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE A CONSTANT OR HARD-CORE OFFENDER. So if you start spamming a bunch on purpose and think you can come back in 1 day, you're 100% wrong.
