“Flaming” -

Flaming is an act which directly or indirectly criticizes a user in a way that could injure the user mentally, or emotionally. Flaming can really hurt a person and is NOT allowed in this G-rated Site. In additional note flaming is not accepted even if it is to a "thing", (e.g. Another Site). Anyone to flame another site will be warned by an Admin or a Moderator Posting in the correct forum (this is important) Please post in the appropriate forum. Don't be upset if we move your post to a more appropriate forum.

If you break the rules, there will be Consequences Topic Moved If the topic was posted in the wrong forum it will be moved.

Temporary Ban This ban can last from a day to even 2 years, be carefull each repeat can conclude in a worse ban Perm-Ban This is the worst punishment you can get, an IP Perm-Ban won't allow you to do anything on the site. You are not welcomed to return and if you are permanently banned your computer will be blocked as well. The permanent ban is usually given for causing the worst infractions. Also, you can be banned for breaking a rule you broke in the past and were banned for previously. This is Typically the Ban people will recieve for Impersonation or multiple accounts to get around a ban. These are the house rules of Vmk Talk. The Moderators and Admins want you to have fun here, but we also want you to be safe.

Important Forum Definitions (The following words are definitions which are helpful for you to know)

Forum:A public place for open discussions. You access forums by clicking on the forum link and by clicking on the title of the individual forum you want to view. So if you wish to view a topic click on forums, click on the section you want, and then a thread.

Inappropriate Content:

Posts which contains subjects such as, cursing, drugs.

Personal Information:

A nice amount of kids/teens are present here, therefore asking for or volunteering personal information is not allowed. Personal Info that is not allowed consists of, personal pictures, names, age, and birth certificats. You are as well not supposed to create meeting points at some real life place with other players, it's dangerous and the thread/posts will be deleted.

Bumping A Thread(BUMP= Bring Up My Post)-

This is a common practice on many forums. We, the Mods and Admins request that if you feel you need to bump your thread to wait at least 24 hours from your last post. If you bump before the time or abuse the bump (abusing the bump means double/triple+ posting) it will be considered spam and removed. If you were not the last one to reply to the thread, and you BUMP it, then this is not considered a BUMP, and could fall under what we consider SPAM. Other users are not allowed to BUMP your threads.

Spamming- Clear as glass:

Not allowed here. The repeated posting of the same topic, or word, etc. across multiple posts/threads, or in the same forum, is Not Allowed. This could include, posting the same word several times ex. lemons lemons uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... u hhhhhhhhhh (You get the idea)

Smiley Spamming:

This includes anything that has to do with posting to many smiles either in a post, pm, or a signature. (up to 10 (ten) smileys per post, pm, and signature) If this is discovered you will be warned, via the warning system by a mod or admin. Irritating posting:this means the use of all caps and excessive punctuation, as well as excessive smiles, you will be warned via email or PM.

Favoritism Posts:

This includes posts that indicates "Who's the best poster, player, has the best room, etc". This can cause many issues that make any user feel left out or unahppy. Now you don't want that to happen, do you? Of course not! Multiple Posting is not allowed on Vmk Talk, this is posting over and over again without someone posting before you. Please only do this if you are bumping.And bump every 24 hours

Advertising:

Do not use Vmk Talk for your own advertising space. This is links to your site, or a personal info place. Any links will be deleted, and as you may know this is strongly prohibited since this site is new and is trying to grow

Begging:

Do not request for free stuff either on VMK or real life. Ex. "Please please can i have your Haunted Mansion hat!!!" A ban might be the penalty for breaking this rule. What can be done, is if someone is making a room, he/she can request for donations on the same thread, Since we like to have friendly people on this site but begging for free stuff causes forum clutter and it's not welcomed. Club/Clan/Guild

Flaming:

The action of naming, or giving several clues to actually find out what an organization is, to make bad comments on it is not allowed. Ex. "This club stinks! Don't join it I hate it!!" Like we said in regular flamming, it can hurt people feelings. Club/Clan/Guild

Favoritism:

By creating posts that say an organization is the best, or is better than others, you are breaking the rule of favoritism, therefore, avoid it at your own cost

Report-A-Post:

Since many mods and admins may not be on 24/7 we will need your help to catch any problems that happen. If you see something, simply report it using the report post button, which is located on every post

Impersonation:

Not allowed on this site, It means acting and calling yourself by a different name/title which is known. The punnishment is automatic warning and review by the staff. Example. "I'm Yavn, VMK_(name here), HOST_(name here)

Backseat Moderating:

This means when you act like a moderator in threads. It only creates spam, which the mods later have to delete the original post, and now your post must be deleted as well. This includes: "You spammed!", "Don't double post.", "Stop using caps!", etc. And if you keep doing this you will be warned by an Admin or Mod Other

If you are a Community Leader on vmk and want to make your username on VMK Talk CL_'name here' , you will need to have a Mod or Admin verify you. This includes signatures, posts, threads, private messaging and avatars Admins have the right to add/change rules, so it is best for you to check back here.

If you have questions or comments feel free to ask an Admin or Mod

Thank you for reading this,
