Forum Guidelines

Last updated: April 22, 2007

  1. You must always respect all RealPics staff. They are here to help make RealPics better for everyone and keep the site in check.
    1. You will receive a verbal warning before being banned depending on the severity of the offence or past offences. If you are noticeably trying to receive a warning, moderators will ban you at their discretion.
    2. You will receive a 24 hour ban on your first offence depending on the severity of the offence or past offences.
    3. If a moderator locked a thread, you are not to create another thread complaining about it being locked. It was locked for a reason. Moderators will ban you at their discretion.
    4. Arguing with moderators in the forum is not allowed. If you have questions regarding why a moderator warned or banned you, contact the moderator in question or an administrator in private.
  2. No excessive harassment or bullying. "He or she started it." will not fly.
  3. NO POST WHORING. It's considered post whoring when you post several or more posts in a short period of time, that are identical, similar, or that contain no substantive content.
    1. Please put thought into each post you make rather than saying things like "lol", "lmao", or a smiley in one post. Moderators can warn you if you do this excessively.
  4. NO SPAMMING. You are not allowed to post links to other web sites that relate to RealPics or links that you purposely post in order to drive users from this site to another that's used to gain a profit of any kind. When talking about other sites, use abbreviations such as RP for RealPics.
  5. NO RACISM. Showing hatred toward someone for their difference in skin, sexual preference, or religious beliefs are forbidden. You will immediately be banned for 5 days.
  6. Flaming other web sites is not allowed. Every web site has its differences. Some people like one site and don't like others. Keep this to yourself or talk to your friends about your disliked web site through other means but keep your negative comments off RealPics.
  7. Flaming new members (aka noobs) is not allowed. Make new members feel welcome. They are just the same as you and your post count does not make you any better than them.
  8. Posting images or links that are offensive, obscene, or containing adult material is not allowed.
