We like to keep it simple at x-108.com, but there are a few things that you should keep in mind to make your stay enjoyable.
These guidelines are here to protect those who post, just as much as they are designed to assist those who moderate. By posting here at x-108.com, you agree to abide by these guidelines and waive any right to continued membership should we deem it necessary to terminate said membership.
Accounting
One account per household please. You may not use another user's account either, regardless of your relationship with them. Both accounts are subject to banning. Contact a Head Moderator or Administrator for details on creating accounts for family/spouses.
Vulgar, offensive, or otherwise obscene names will be changed. Repeated violations will result in an account ban.
Posting
Before posting, familiarize yourself with the board. Posting in the correct forums will provide you with more timely replies. Please take a moment to search for a solution to your problem before posting a support topic!
Please use descriptive topic titles. Topics like "Help!", "Look", or "Error" are not acceptable and will be removed.
Think before you post! If you're giving criticism, try to be as constructive as possible and be respectful. Flaming will not be tolerated.
Please avoid controversial subjects. Political, racial, and sexual subjects are better left to other communities. We are a webmaster community, after all.
3 non-spam posts are required to make hook/application/skin/rip requests. Please do not post requests in the incorrect forums!
Bumping: You may only bump your topic once every two (2) days. Bumping very old topics in forums other than the support forums is not allowed and will result in a ban.
Please avoid replying to "dead" topics (typically topics older than 1-2 weeks are considered dead).
If a topic is locked by a Staff member, leave it; do not create a duplicate topic.
Responding to a any topic with "thanks", "good", "cool" or anything of the sort is considered spam. This includes one-word responses. Staff will take appropriate action!
When posting a lengthy amount of code, don't just wrap it in Code tags, wrap the code and the Code tags in Spoiler tags. This prevents having to scroll endlessly to move past the code when viewing a topic.
Copying and pasting the same message in topics or creating several pointless spam topics in an effort to fraudulently increase your post count or for any other reason is prohibited.
Link you post on our site are to be the original link, no ad-fly or such allowed on the forum.
Miscellaneous
Do not attempt to mini-moderate. This is seen as both spam and abusive behavior. Simply report the offending post and we'll handle it.
Do NOT send unsolicited support requests to other users or Staff! This includes content that is sexual in nature, solicitation of funds, distribution or request of +Donator content, unsolicited advertising of your site or services, as well as support, product, or service requests. Failure to comply may result in PM and/or account suspensions. This includes asking for support in the shoutbox.
Please do not engage in the trading or exchange of reputation points.
Can I advertise my website in my forum signature?
Yes, you may. However, your website must not be of a similar nature to x-108.com, and it cannot contain pornography or other lewd materials. If you become inactive at x-108.com, your signature may be removed. You may not advertise for Staff positions in your signature. If you are banned at x-108.com, your signature will be removed. We will also remove signatures that are nasty and/or not in the spirit of our Community Guidelines (and you may have action taken against you for that). One site link per signature please.
Signatures
Can I include a picture in my signature?
Yes, you may. But keep in mind that large images, or images that cause forum lag will be removed. We don't want your signature to hinder the browsing experience of others. Obviously, pictures must comply with our Community Guidelines.
Please refrain from using excessive multi-colored text in your signatures. These are annoying and distracting. In addition, please refrain from using excessive special characters and emoticons in your signatures. Again, these are very distracting.
Finally, do not increase the text size to make your forum signature "stand out". The standard text size is absolutely fine. Let's keep the text in signatures somewhat uniform, as crazy varieties just make the forum look sloppy and distracting.
Recommended image size is 200px or less.
Have a good time, act maturely, be friendly, make friends, and discover! That's what this community is all about. Please avoid drama, we dislike it too when things go wrong, but there's a report button. Do not "call out" other users - just report their post!
