- NO hardcore pornography of any shape, size, or nature is to be posted
- Links to softcore pornography are acceptable outside of the Review threads, and with a NSFW warning. Do NOT post the actual pictures on the forum.
- NO racism is to be expressed. NO racist terms, either. NO homophobia or similar minority-hatred will be tolerated.
- NO spamming the forum with your advertisements for blogs, bands, websites, piano lessons or trained monkeys. Keep it to Promote Your Band – yes, EVEN IF you’re not promoting a band.
- Do NOT post links to uploaded/pirated music or anything else on the forum. Private Messaging is there for a reason.
- Multiple accounts are an abomination, and will be cracked down upon. Use ONE account to post only.
- Try to be friendly and of a cheery disposition. The Metal Reviews formites are tolerant, happy people but they will flame idiots who insist on starting stupid arguments.
- Try and keep on-topic in The Reviews and Classic forums.
- Put stuff where it goes. Put links to funny videos in the Funny Video thread. Put pictures of yourself in the Faces thread, and so on.
- No moving GIFs for avatars. Try and keep avatars to a sensible size, too, and obviously the first couple of rules apply too.
- The chief moderators (just Goat, at present) are not to be disobeyed. If they ask you to do something, damn well do it.
- Violating rules 1 and 3 are bannable offences. The other rules you’ll get a stern warning, first.
ADDITION - if you see a spambot, please don't reply to any of their nonsensical posts. That way their malign presence can be removed without trace.
