(Note: There is "no" Warning System code being implemented and added, so any warnings about being issued to you will not be a requirement to everyone here at this time.)
Please everyone, I am advising you to read the official Forum Rules. If you disobey or not following a CERTAIN rule, I WILL give out warnings to any of you that gets on my bad side. Then, if you continuously breaking that particular rule or some other different rule or specific rule, I MIGHT ban you for your punishment. Warning system in THAT official forum. (IT HAS NOW BEEN ENFORCED! GET MORE POSTING AND MEMBERS HERE EVERYONE! PLEASE! THANKS!)
PLEASE NOTE:[/u] In order to re-enforce the rules nice and carefully... obviously follow these important rule guidelines, try to be active, post as often as you can, and perhaps try and obtain friends or other people here as well. The description has totally been modified and updated bit by bit. As for the following, please try and read all of these forum and chat rules, and by all means, obey them in all costs in a more mature and respectful manner that you will be encouraged on doing. Thank you, as always!
Here are the forum rules of Acer's Forums / Acer's Supreme Forum Hits:
OFFICIAL CHAT RULES FOR MY IRC CHANNEL #ACER AT THE IRC EXPERIENCES RELATED SUB-BOARD ON THE MAIN OTHER/MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION BOARD![/u]
(Note: If you're an IRC'er here or any member of the LightIRC/Mibbit Community, please obey the Chat Rules for #Acer located in the IRC Experiences Related sub-board with the topic titled "#Acer Chat Rules", something like that. Read for more information about this! This ALSO applies to the forum rules too as well since you are in our forum community for a reason, you know.)
Our chat rules of #Acer can ALL be found here in this particular thread of the following URL:
Important: #Acer Official Chat Rules - Please Read!
THE VERY OFFICIAL FORUM RULES FOR ACER'S SUPREME FORUM HITS:[/u]
(Note: Make sure you TRY to post NEW content if you can. Making new topics in those threads are necessary so we can the ball going and not get our forum... well, pretty much stale. We DO need to try and freshen things up for our forum community, and make it a good all-around environmental feel to it, if you know what I mean. Thank you for your attention on this.)
Report Any Rule For Infraction:[/U]
- If a post or thread rubs you the wrong way or you feel it breaks the forum policies or rules of conduct, then please report it to a staff moderator or higher. Reporting a post gets you noticed by the staff moderators or higher. Those who help out around the community are more likely to be hand picked for special activities such as helping around the forum community like advertising this forum for us, getting + possibly gaining members for us, doing the general basics for us, and many more, and it WILL probably give you some pride in knowing that you help and try to keep this forum community a clean, enjoyable, and fun place for everyone to hang out in. To report a rule infraction, please follow these steps... (Since there's not anything to report on threads, just posts.)
Threaded View:
* ! 1a.) Spamming - General Forms Of It:[/u]
[DEFINITION OF SPAM: Spam is Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages.]
- All regular members are advised that there will be absolutely NO spamming in any board/sub-board around Acer's Supreme Forum Hits, except on the "Flame/Vent & Spam[/u] Related" sub-board under the main Other/Miscellaneous board. All forms of Spam contains useless posts like one worded/two worded/three worded only posts such as LOL, LMAO, ROFL, LMFAO, ROFLMFAO, BRB, BBL, TTYL, XD, XP, Vintage, Woo, Bam Bam, I Boom You, etc., posting only smilies, or a few words with a smiley. These are NOT acceptable! If we find out that you are spamming in general, you will be warned and possibly be receiving warning points as a result. This unfortunately DOES applies to staff members too. If you also spam and don't do your job right, you will also get warned. To any forum member, if you continue on doing so, you will receive severe consequences. To staff members, you will be demoted from the rank you were in down by one rank. For a Moderator, you will be demoted straight down to Regular Member status. Simply, JUST respect these rules and do NOT spam at all. It all makes sense, right? JUST DON'T FREAKING SPAM or I will FIST PUMP to your FACE if you do that crap! Thank you!
(DO NOTE: One example from the past is when a member named "SuNnY" had his powers... but he chose to spam, thus being demoted. So don't do that everyone! Thank you!)
* ! 1b.) Spamming - Replying To Any Form Of Spam Threads:[/u]
- This particular rule is now in FULL EFFECT. If you see any spam made by ANYONE, including those ANNOYING PESKY SPAM BOTS[/u], please do not try and reply to those threads AT ALL! Zero! Let me or my other staff members deal with the unnecessary spam threads. In the near foreseeable future, whoever replies to these spam threads with no relevance to the post written will PROBABLY be warned and MIGHT be fetching some warning points by our staff members, including myself. This applies to ALL regular members. Staff members are included here as well, but they MUST include something valuable if they contribute to that particular spam topic at stake too. Thank you!
* ! 1c.) Spamming - Double Posting / Triple Posting / Multiple Posting:[/u]
- Multiple posting, it's like considered if you post double, triple, quadruple and more of any kind with either the same or different posts of sports. That is ALSO considered as spam. Please try and steer clear from there. However though, certain boards like the Forum Games Related main board and the Flame/Vent & Spam Related sub-board under the Other/Miscellaneous main board are LIKELY the only places you can bump up your posts of yours. If you do it anywhere on the forum itself, you will be warned. If you do it again, you will be fetching some warning points on your record as a result.
* ! 1d.) Spamming - Bad Schemes / Chain Letters / Malware / Spyware / Trojans / Viruses:[/u]
- Please do NOT post any forms of bad schemes, or chain letters here at our forum community. Also, we will NOT tolerate any forms of malware, spyware, trojans, viruses, or any other harmful computer software whatsoever here at Acer's Supreme Forum Hits. Again, we do not condone this behaviour AT ALL costs! Whoever is caught doing these things... will obviously be severely punished by either myself or my staff team. So you better stay out of it and keep it to yourselves.
* 2a.) Flaming - General Forms Of It:[/u]
- Flaming is not to be tolerated around here in our forum community. If someone flames another regular member or staff member that includes moderators, global/super moderators or co-administrators for that matter, or even including the Founder of Acer's Supreme Forum Hits... yours truly... ME!!!
- Trolling is also kinda the same thing, as flaming, pretty much.
Either the staff members or myself will do the following:
. A warning on your record for your first offense telling you not to do it again.
. Another warning with warning points on your record for your second offense.
. Temporarily banned from these forums for one week for your third offense.
. Temporarily banned from these forums for one month for your fourth offense.
. Permanently banned from these forums forever. Name, E-mail, IP Banned for your fifth offense.
. Your Internet Service Provider will be contacted/reported for your sixth offense if you continue to evade and disobey, but I will let it slide if things do go smoothly.
- So in the near foreseeable future, try not to flame or troll other members in this forum community. It's not allowed and it shall not be tolerated. However, if you want to spaz on a specific member out, do it on "Flame/Vent[/u] & Spam Related" sub-board under the main Other/Miscellaneous board if you want to leash your anger... ONLY IF YOU WANT TO!
* 2b.) Flaming - Flame-Baiting A Member:[/u]
- If you flame-bait a member you have made an attempt to provoke them to flame you, either by an indirect attack or otherwise, without actually technically flaming them. The staff members here will decide whether or not your post had any malicious intent and actions will be dealt accordingly. You may think you are joking AND can get away with it, but you will be at risk if the person your post targets becomes angry/upset for that matter and we do not want that happen here.
* 2c.) Flaming - Flame Wars:[/U]
- Everyone appreciates a good heated debate. It could be about anything... like the weather, a certain type of food, a certain type of beverage, computer parts, a game, a movie, a television show, music, whatever. Debates are a wonderful aspect of communities. That's what makes up a community, enthusiasts discussing the finer points of a hobby or an interest. Unfortunately, it is all too easy for these debates to degrade into something that isn't welcome in most communities and that is a "Flame War". A flame war is a situation in which one or all of the aforementioned rules has been broken and a staff member is "forced" to step in to defuse it.
* 3.) Forum Necromancy / Reviving Old Threads:[/u]
More On Forum Necromancy Here: Forum Necromancy - CGWiki
- For this rule, you're not specifically be allowed to revive old threads for now A FULL ONE YEAR[/u], but due to the activity we have here, I am willing to extend that to THREE YEARS[/u], depending on WHICH SPECIFIC THREAD it is. It is okay if you want conversations to last and all, but please, do not try to overdue it or even abuse it. If you wish to bump that specific thread, please LET ME know or any of the staff members of Acer's Supreme Forum Hits know as soon as possible by either private messaging to that staff member or e-mailing that staff member to get that specific thread back into action again. You can BUMP it on a 24, 48, 72, 96, or a 120 hour period basis if you want WITHOUT asking. Thank you!
For boards, you will be allowed to bump off your particular topics that you posted in the following boards / sub-boards:
. Your introduction and return threads in the main Arrivals & Departures Introductions board.
. Your staff application threads in the main Staff Job Application - New Recruitment(s) Related board.
. Your graphic request threads in the MAIN Graphic Requests / Pick-Up board.
. Most of the forum game threads in the main Forum Games Related board.
. Your "favourite" Babe topics of any kind in the Babe Forum Related sub-board on the main Other/Miscellaneous Discussion board.
. Most of the flame, spam, and vent threads in the Flame/Vent & Spam Related sub-board on the main Other/Miscellaneous Discussion board.
. Your website and forum advertisements in two of our advertisement boards in the main Site/WebSite Advertising and the main Forum Advertising boards respectfully.
. Your website and forum advertisement affiliation threads in the main Site/Forum Affiliations board.
. Your website and forum advertisement rating threads in the main Site/Forum Ratings board.
And many more of them, but that is pretty much it for these "TYPE" of exceptions there, so yeah. Thank you for understanding!
* 4.) Off-Topic Posting / Staying On Topic:[/u]
- ALWAYS try your best to stay on topic in their respective boards/sub-boards, unless there's a "Off-Topic" game thread you can post on. Going off-topic excessively will obviously will bring you warnings, along with warning points included too. So stay clear and simply DON'T GO OFF-TOPIC on the subject!
* 5.) Cloning / Hijacking Threads:[/u]
- There will be absolutely none of that. Cloning and/or hijacking threads are prohibited in and around Acer's Supreme Forum Hits.
* 6.) Mass Chatting:[/u]
- I'll explain on what this rule is. Mass Chatting is a form that user to user talks back and forth in replying to posts in threads. In some certain cases, you need to wait and let them reply in their opinions. That won't be Mass Chatting, but, if one of you mass chats another member in that same/different thread all the time, then it's considered to be Mass Chatting and it won't be tolerated. Please refrain from mass chatting on these forums. This isn't AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, IRC, MSN (Windows Live), Yahoo, or any other instant messaging programs. If you want to mass chat, do it on an instant messaging application which is MUCH an easier process. You can also interact via social networking websites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, for your usefulness there.
* 7a.) Advertisements Of Any Kind - Websites / Forums In General:[/u]
- Please do not try and advertise your websites and/or forums anywhere across the forum community here, including topics in the wrong boards/sub-boards to garner attention. It also includes posting a website / forum link in your Introduction thread on the Arrivals & Departures board. It may be accidentally and you might garner members for your own good and with measure, so we don't allow it. It will make you look bad if you do it. We already have these types of advertising boards, just for you to post on there, so get on with it, but make sure you obey all the advertisement rules in their respective advertising boards if it's regarding on websites and/or on forums. If you disobey this, you will be warned. Continue, and warning points will be stacked like no tomorrow.
* 7b.) Advertisements Of Any Kind - Private Messaging Members About Your WebSites / Forums:[/u]
- Which-ever member that does this by private messaging a regular or a staff member on Acer's Supreme Forum Hits about their website and/or forum will be warned and be fetching some warning points to their record. Please notify me or one of the staff members about this so that we can deal with the situation at hand and telling the member to stop doing this. You are allowed to show off your website and/or forum advertisements in these advertisement boards that we have provided here for you respectively for you. Again though, follow the advertising rules over there. Thank you!
* 8.) Insubordination:[/u]
More On Insubordination Here: Insubordination
- This is when you do not follow a direct order issued to you by a forum leader/staff member. If a board moderator, global/super moderator, or administrator tells you to do something (like shortening your avatar size, shortening your signature size, reduce multiple posting, reducing spam, as examples), you must follow through with his/her request or ask another forum leader/staff member for their second opinion of theirs. If a board moderator, global/super moderator, or administrator tells you that your signature is too long, for example, but another board moderator, global/super moderator, or administrator tells you that it's fine you may leave your signature as it is. If both leaders complain about your signature's length, however, you must follow through with their order and shorten it to the right appropriate size.
* 9.) Racial, Sexual & Prejudice Remarks Of Any Kind:[/u]
- We absolutely DO NOT allow these kinds of remarks here at this forum community. Do NOT dare to disrespect any of the members if they're black or white, or whatever ethnic race they are. If you abuse being racist or sexist or prejudice or whatever, you will be given a warning. If you do it again, you will be fetching warning points. If you do it again once more, you will be severely be given a warning and additional but "double" the warning points. If you can't take the heat and do it again, you will be banned for one week. Come back to continue it again, you will be banned for one month. Come back and even abuse it more, you will be permanently be banned ENTIRELY! No further questions asked! So again, any kind racial slurs from those jokes for that matter is NOT allowed and will NOT be tolerated. We don't condone this around here. Thank you!
* 10.) Posting In The Wrong Category / Section:[/u]
- Please do NOT post any of your threads in the wrong category / section of our forum community, or we have to move them to their respective boards / sub-boards for that matter. We do NOT want this to happen and it won't be allowed and tolerated also. If you do it, you will be warned. If you do it again, you will be fetching some warning points in your record.
* ! 11.) Disrespecting The Forum Creator/Founder/Leader/Owner + Main Administrator:[/u]
- Try not, and I repeat, TRY NOT to disrespect the founder of these great forum communities, which is me, yours truly, Acer! He is, of course, the creator, founder, leader, and owner of these forums and if you abused him or make fun of him in a negative[/u] sort of way, like I mean, A LOT OF TIMES, I will NOT hesitate and be pressured to get you screwed up one way or another... BIG TIME!
Breaking this particular rule multiple times and you will receive the following:
. A huge warning on your record explaining what you did wrong for your first offense.
. Severe warning with serious amount of warning points on your record for your second offense.
. Permanently banned from these forums forever. For Good! That includes Name, E-mail, IP Banned for your third offense.
[OPTIONAL - Fourth Offense!]
. Your Internet Service Provider will be contacted/reported for your fourth offense if you continue to evade and disobey, but I will let it slide if things do go smoothly.
- So do NOT ever attempt to abuse or threaten me for that matter. It is basically three strikes... and you... are... OUT OF HERE for real! If you post any negative thoughts about or directed towards me, it is a very hurtful thing for me and everyone else in the forum community being involved and it will look me bad, obviously. So, don't ever... EVER... EVER... do it... again! And I seriously mean it! This is over, but all of you can understand, right? And remember, do not mess with me, the forum owner. I can ban you right off the forum community here if you get in my bad side.
(DO NOTE: Negative name calling towards me is NOT tolerated. So calling me a bad name like "Bot / Robot" for example, will get you warned, but I'll let that slide for now, but keep on repeating that name to me and you WILL BE warned and be issued warning points for your misbehaviour. Some slim chances here and there. And for your information, I AM NOT A FREAKING ROBOT! OKAY?! I AM A FREAKING HUMAN BEING, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS HERE! Thank you, just had to clear this up my chest for those "ignorant sheep" who get in my way and does NOT learn the facts. Whoever you are, I will FIST PUMP in your FACE!)
* 12.) Disrespecting Any Of The Staff Members Ranging From Forum Moderators, Global/Super Moderators To Co-Administrators:[/u]
- Try not to disrespect any of our wonderful staff members like our forum moderators, global/super moderators and co-administrators. They are trying to help you solve any sort of problems (serious or not) they might encounter. The staff team here are really friendly, and they are willing to keep the forum as safe as possible under my discretion. Please respect them in all costs or face the consequences, made by yours truly, your staff members of Acer's Supreme Forum Hits. Also remember to not mess with Co-Administrators as they can ban you right off the forum community here as well. Same with Global/Super Moderators IF they have the rights to ban members, if they have their banning privileges enabled, that is, under my discretion and approval.
* 13.) Bright Colouring:[/u]
- Please do NOT type any forms bright colours in your texts/posts. It really hurts our eyes with the high Brightness screen in our computers is set to 100%, or whatever background, it is on, like White and/or Gray backgrounds for instance. Bright lime yellow and bright lime green are unacceptable and those colours will be used for the safety of their eyes. Don't blind them also!
* 14.) Cursing / Cussing / Swearing:[/u]
- This applies to most of the regular members, while staff members are given limited to no restrictions on this. It is not REALLY necessary to swear in our forum community, only if you feel that it is needed in some parts of the forum when you release your anger off your chest, or something like that. Try NOT to overdo it though. This is a privilege, not a right. We are obviously making this forum... family-friendly-oriented fun for the whole entire community, so try and reduce the swearing... just a bit, but they will still be allowed here. It is kind of like rated "PG to PG-13", you know, and I hope everyone understands about this, as we might have young kids either reading, watching, or posting this too.
* 15.) Nudity / Pornography / Sexual Material Of Any Kind:[/u]
- Of any and every kind there is, there will absolutely be no pornography, nudity, or any sexual material of any kind allowed in our forum community! If like your parents/guardians or CERTAIN adults see it, they might get mad at you for such disturbing nudity of some "things". Remember, this is a family-friendly-oriented forum and we want to keep this forum community AS CLEAN and CLEAR from any forms of pornography here as POSSIBLE, and that includes you, you PESKY PORN BOTS! It is NOT tolerated here. The Babe Forum Related sub-board over there under the Other/Miscellaneous Discussion board, is ALSO affected by this too, so no pornography for there for the ladies. Obviously, it is against the ProBoards Terms Of Service rules too, so be aware of that. If you want to see porn so badly, search for a porn website, and jack off to it you filthy disturbing pig (just kidding)... but obviously NOT IN HERE!
If you do post pornography, here is what WILL happen to you if you do:
. A huge warning on your record explaining what you did wrong for your first offense.
. Severe warning with serious amount of warning points on your record for your second offense.
. Permanently banned from these forums forever. For Good! That includes Name, E-mail, IP Banned for your third offense.
[OPTIONAL - Fourth Offense!]
. Your Internet Service Provider will be contacted/reported for your fourth offense if you continue to evade and disobey, but I will let it slide if things do go smoothly.
- So remember, no pornography and everyone is happy. Thank you for your co-operation into this matter.
* 16.) Posting Inappropriate Non-Pornographic Images Of Any Kind:[/u]
- Please do not try and post any type of inappropriate images anywhere around our forum community. Remember, we are trying to be a family-friendly-oriented forum, so you must respect all members from this cause. If you fail to obey this rule, you will be warned and be given some warning points on your record due to that. We don't want any disturbing images of anything of any kind, so please keep those to yourself. Thank you!
* 17.) Using Proper English That Resembles To Grammar / Spelling / Punctuation:[/u]
- Please don't try acting like an idiot or a moron here in over for anyone to amuse you about this particular rule. But anyways, this is ONLY for your well-being and pleasure, try your best to use proper sentences + paragraphs in your posts, try to spell everything correctly in your posts, try to punctuate in the right place with commas, periods, colons, exclamation points, question marks, etc., and try to use proper grammar too to make everything sense. Of course, this is for CERTAIN of these people that do NOT know about this if they are NOT aware of it at hand.
* 18a.) Using Appropriate Avatars & Signatures Here In General:[/u]
- All of our regular members and even staff members are strongly encouraged to use any types of avatars and signatures that they are AGE APPROPRIATE[/u] use for this forum community right here. Any kinds of offensive material will not be involved being put, even though you respect that particular thing. If any staff member or myself sees any offensive and appropriate material that is not suitable for all ages, you will be warned, ALONG with warning points and EVEN removing your avatar and signature privileges with REASON(S) why you did, if you don't take it off with the staff member or in the discretion of myself on the amount of days that the image must be removed completely off the forum. If you refuse to remove the avatar and/or signature image being told by the staff members or myself multiple times, we will double your warning, until it gets removed, so please refrain on using the same one and use a different one that is age appropriate here. Thank you!
* 18b.) Avatar Restrictions:[/u]
- Custom avatars may be no larger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels and no more than 100 Kilobytes.
- Keep it clean! Just like all the other content on our forum community, your avatar must be suitable for people of all ages. Obscenities in any form, censored or otherwise are not permitted. No gore, blood or other disturbing imagery. Refrain from making political statements. No religion or religious statements. Excessive flashing or other obnoxious distracting animation is also a no-no. Additionally, images that are suggestive or do not show all persons properly clothed may be considered inappropriate.
* 18c.) Signature Restrictions:[/u]
- All right. You cannot display a signature that is larger than 550 pixels wide in length and 150 pixels high in width of EACH signature. If you'd like your entire signature to show up, then you are allowed to do so, without falling onto the maximum dimensions for each.
- Signatures cannot contain music, or flash animations. However, I will allow this to slide for now, unless if it was overdone by many members here.
- Signatures cannot contain more than 5 images each.
- The maximum allowable signature size is 500 Kilobytes. Please note that this size is the total size allowed. If you have multiple images in your signature, the sum of all their sizes must be 500 Kilobytes or less. You can find out how large your images are by right clicking them in the browser and choosing "Properties" the size is shown in "KB".
- The following HTML tags are allowed in signatures as well as the HTML post editor...
- Keep it clean! Just like all the other content on our forum community, your signature must be suitable for people of all ages. Obscenities in any form, censored or otherwise are not permitted. No gore, blood or other disturbing imagery. Refrain from making political statements. No religion or religious statements. Excessive flashing or other obnoxious distracting animation is also a no-no. Additionally, images that are suggestive or do not show all persons properly clothed may be considered inappropriate.
Overall, last, and most important not least, all other forum policies including the Official Forum Rules apply to avatar and signature content as well.
* 19.) Following All ProBoards Terms Of Service & Privacy Policy Rules:[/u]
- It is the same that applies to this forum community as well. But most importantly around here, you are expected to obey all[/u] the ProBoards Terms of Service Rules AND the Privacy Policy Rules. Thank you!
- Don't know the links to the ProBoards Terms of Service Rules and the ProBoards Private Policy Rules? Look below for them, among with others associate with ProBoards here:
ProBoards Terms Of Service Rules!
ProBoards Privacy Policy Rules!
Also check out the Community Guidelines and the DMCA sections here as well below:
ProBoards Community Guidelines!
ProBoards Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy Rules!
* 20.) Multiple Accounts:[/u]
- Multiple accounts are prohibited here in Acer's Supreme Forum Hits. Only one forum account, per member when you register into the forum community. We will be keeping track of your IP's though from time to time, occasionally and stuff.
* 21.) Impersonating Any Member / Being Imposters:[/u]
- Impersonating other members is strictly PROHIBITED[/u] in here. You got to register a different name, and another by the same name.
But, if you fail to abide by this particular rule, it will result in the following:
. A huge warning on your record explaining what you did wrong for your first offense.
. Severe warning with serious amount of warning points on your record for your second offense.
. Permanently banned from these forums forever. For Good! That includes Name, E-mail, IP Banned for your third offense.
[OPTIONAL - Fourth Offense!]
. Your Internet Service Provider will be contacted/reported for your fourth offense if you continue to evade and disobey, but I will let it slide if things do go smoothly.
- Imposters will NOT be allowed in here. If you are the imposter and trying to impersonate me, the staff members, or any the other regular members here, we will force to check your IP on you. If it is THAT bad, we will deal with the situation by ourselves. If you are indeed co-operative, we WILL let you out on the LOOP for certain aspects and purposes, so you must be best to watch out on what you are going to do there if you are NOT being careful.
* 22.) Acting Like A "Special One":[/u]
- Please don't be or act like a "Special One" around here! You know what I mean, right? Get my drift?
(DO NOTE: One example from the past is when a member named "Special One" was registered here on the forums. He was here because he acted "disrespectful", "special", and so full of himself. However though, his attitude has since changed, and I do hope FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, it stays that way! FOR GOOD!)
* 23.) Giving Out The Opportunity Of The Chance(s) If You're Banned And Returned From The Forum Community Here - Please Do Read At Your Own Risk:[/u]
- Remember, if you are banned by the third or fourth or whatever amount of offenses, I MIGHT give you a total of just FIVE[/U] chances and that's final! If you break all FIVE[/U], you are just wasting my time, and everyone else's time, and you WILL be permanently gone here from this forum community for GOOD. Evade or it is EVEN worst than staying here breaking the forum rules constantly. You know who YOU are, in particular.
* 24.) Reviewing All The Rules Being Posted:[/u]
- Of course, make sure to take your time, once again, step-by-step to read each and every rule CAREFULLY. Don't try and SKIP THEM though!
* 25.) And To Our Best Regards...:[/u]
- And for the Acer's Supreme Forum Hits forum community itself, the staff members, and myself for this matter, HAVE FUN and ENJOY YOUR STAY and TRY TO BE ACTIVE everyone! Thank you for visiting us. And DO watch out for that cursed nasty shelf AND smurf! It really hates inactive members, so you better not stay inactive for this matter, or the shelf and/or smurf will gobble you RIGHT off your tracks! Hehe.
*Acer turns his eyes and twitches at everyone if you are not co-operated with me! You are the funky punks around here! If you don't, go to hell and leave this place. Come back if you're ready to behave again like a mature member would be.
*Acer walks off from his twitching counterparts.
As always, please enjoy your stay, have fun around here, happy posting, try to be active, and obey these Forum / Chat Rules at all costs. If someone breaks these certain AND particular rules, please report it to a forum moderator, global/super moderator, co-administrator or the main administrator himself, Acer, and they will be dealt with and it is going to be decided if they're going to be warned by any staff member or by that particular staff member in general. If the punishment is severe, they potentially be going to get banned here. So please, try and remember to report them to me or the staff. It will not be tolerated until further notice! Use the "Report" button for your own pleasure if you see something wrong with his/her post! Thank you, as always!
That's it for the Forum Rules above. Warnings now in the official Warning System forum! Check it out by visiting this topic of the following URL:
Warning System For Acer's Supreme Forum Hits
Remember, all regular/normal members cannot break the forum rules, so try to obey the forum rules, or else you will be warned and be given warning points. This applies to staff members too. The ones like Forum Moderators, Global/Super Moderators, and even Co-Administrators. This won't be tolerated. Staff will and can't abuse their worthy powers for this matter! The only exception to anyone breaking the forum rules is the creator, founder, leader, and owner of Acer's Supreme Forum Hits, Acer, and I mean it, can break these forum rules! He can do the things he wants to do since it is HIS forum after all![/u] So please respect that.
Also, NORMAL Guests that comes to my forum. If you came here to browse, please either log-in or register to the forums, so it will be a lot easier for me. Obviously, you won't be suffering any penalties, so feel free to post anywhere but in the Guests Room Related board if you have any time on doing so. Thank you!
The following former staff members that formerly had moderator, global moderator/super moderator, or co-administrator powers has been STRIPPED OFF FROM THEIR POSITIONS off from 1-2-3 months or more. You need to be super active and post every single day to make this procedure, a worthwhile effort. Please try to come on if you can now. If you have powers right now currently and have been inactive for at least 4 weeks, 1 month, two months, three months, or so, your moderator powers has been automatically stripped off or demoted from your positions. Because of this, you need to be active and post every single day to get it back, and you will be rewarded, if you do all the hard work, regardless on what you say. Please follow the rule next time and think about it for a second on when you first joined here and be apart of it.
New wave of people will be given out moderator status for free if anyone co-operates here in this particular reason, but that is JUST only a SLIM chance of that happening here.
Remember everyone, the rules are obviously here for a REASON, so you need to follow them! If not obeyed, you WILL be asked to read them again. If you fail to comply, you will be warned, then be given warning points, then be temporarily banned. Break more rules of the same thing and the ban really sticks this time, permanently, for good. That's your tip for today folks!

- Kinda of an active forum with awesome boards with sub-boards to post on to. We need more members as always, especially active members! Please join there and contribute your support there! Thanks a lot!
NOT NEW: My phpBB forums are now hosted by a member named Sissyloo. They are held at:
Acer's phpBB Forums!
- You don't have to register, but it's optional. It's just a bonus. Forget about it.
Note On The Above Statement: It's gone, don't go there as it no longer exists within me. Blame Sissyloo for her actions, god dammit. I don't know, she's taken care of it already. Damn bastard. She'll pay for this! Actually, it's down or something, so expect some updates, not into the future. And does phpBB really resembles anything to you people?
- Everyone ask about the phpBB forums, I already know. One of my mates named Sissyloo left the forum out of contention, so don't worry about it.
And that's about it! Enjoy the rules! If it needs updates or changes, notify me on it! Thank you!
Please Note:[/u] Rule #11 is the UTMOST of importance to read, for sure! Everyone MUST obey that rule or suffer VERY SERIOUS consequences by me!
If CERTAIN of our forum members here does NOT obey the rules in all costs, they will receive VERY SEVERE consequences and comebacks, and they will LIKELY be locked in some sort of a steel cage where you cannot escape and the prey feeds your blood off to them.

Please everyone, I am advising you to read the official Forum Rules. If you disobey or not following a CERTAIN rule, I WILL give out warnings to any of you that gets on my bad side. Then, if you continuously breaking that particular rule or some other different rule or specific rule, I MIGHT ban you for your punishment. Warning system in THAT official forum. (IT HAS NOW BEEN ENFORCED! GET MORE POSTING AND MEMBERS HERE EVERYONE! PLEASE! THANKS!)
PLEASE NOTE:[/u] In order to re-enforce the rules nice and carefully... obviously follow these important rule guidelines, try to be active, post as often as you can, and perhaps try and obtain friends or other people here as well. The description has totally been modified and updated bit by bit. As for the following, please try and read all of these forum and chat rules, and by all means, obey them in all costs in a more mature and respectful manner that you will be encouraged on doing. Thank you, as always!
Here are the forum rules of Acer's Forums / Acer's Supreme Forum Hits:
OFFICIAL CHAT RULES FOR MY IRC CHANNEL #ACER AT THE IRC EXPERIENCES RELATED SUB-BOARD ON THE MAIN OTHER/MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION BOARD![/u]
(Note: If you're an IRC'er here or any member of the LightIRC/Mibbit Community, please obey the Chat Rules for #Acer located in the IRC Experiences Related sub-board with the topic titled "#Acer Chat Rules", something like that. Read for more information about this! This ALSO applies to the forum rules too as well since you are in our forum community for a reason, you know.)
Our chat rules of #Acer can ALL be found here in this particular thread of the following URL:
Important: #Acer Official Chat Rules - Please Read!
THE VERY OFFICIAL FORUM RULES FOR ACER'S SUPREME FORUM HITS:[/u]
(Note: Make sure you TRY to post NEW content if you can. Making new topics in those threads are necessary so we can the ball going and not get our forum... well, pretty much stale. We DO need to try and freshen things up for our forum community, and make it a good all-around environmental feel to it, if you know what I mean. Thank you for your attention on this.)
Report Any Rule For Infraction:[/U]
- If a post or thread rubs you the wrong way or you feel it breaks the forum policies or rules of conduct, then please report it to a staff moderator or higher. Reporting a post gets you noticed by the staff moderators or higher. Those who help out around the community are more likely to be hand picked for special activities such as helping around the forum community like advertising this forum for us, getting + possibly gaining members for us, doing the general basics for us, and many more, and it WILL probably give you some pride in knowing that you help and try to keep this forum community a clean, enjoyable, and fun place for everyone to hang out in. To report a rule infraction, please follow these steps... (Since there's not anything to report on threads, just posts.)
Threaded View:
* ! 1a.) Spamming - General Forms Of It:[/u]
[DEFINITION OF SPAM: Spam is Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages.]
- All regular members are advised that there will be absolutely NO spamming in any board/sub-board around Acer's Supreme Forum Hits, except on the "Flame/Vent & Spam[/u] Related" sub-board under the main Other/Miscellaneous board. All forms of Spam contains useless posts like one worded/two worded/three worded only posts such as LOL, LMAO, ROFL, LMFAO, ROFLMFAO, BRB, BBL, TTYL, XD, XP, Vintage, Woo, Bam Bam, I Boom You, etc., posting only smilies, or a few words with a smiley. These are NOT acceptable! If we find out that you are spamming in general, you will be warned and possibly be receiving warning points as a result. This unfortunately DOES applies to staff members too. If you also spam and don't do your job right, you will also get warned. To any forum member, if you continue on doing so, you will receive severe consequences. To staff members, you will be demoted from the rank you were in down by one rank. For a Moderator, you will be demoted straight down to Regular Member status. Simply, JUST respect these rules and do NOT spam at all. It all makes sense, right? JUST DON'T FREAKING SPAM or I will FIST PUMP to your FACE if you do that crap! Thank you!
(DO NOTE: One example from the past is when a member named "SuNnY" had his powers... but he chose to spam, thus being demoted. So don't do that everyone! Thank you!)
* ! 1b.) Spamming - Replying To Any Form Of Spam Threads:[/u]
- This particular rule is now in FULL EFFECT. If you see any spam made by ANYONE, including those ANNOYING PESKY SPAM BOTS[/u], please do not try and reply to those threads AT ALL! Zero! Let me or my other staff members deal with the unnecessary spam threads. In the near foreseeable future, whoever replies to these spam threads with no relevance to the post written will PROBABLY be warned and MIGHT be fetching some warning points by our staff members, including myself. This applies to ALL regular members. Staff members are included here as well, but they MUST include something valuable if they contribute to that particular spam topic at stake too. Thank you!
* ! 1c.) Spamming - Double Posting / Triple Posting / Multiple Posting:[/u]
- Multiple posting, it's like considered if you post double, triple, quadruple and more of any kind with either the same or different posts of sports. That is ALSO considered as spam. Please try and steer clear from there. However though, certain boards like the Forum Games Related main board and the Flame/Vent & Spam Related sub-board under the Other/Miscellaneous main board are LIKELY the only places you can bump up your posts of yours. If you do it anywhere on the forum itself, you will be warned. If you do it again, you will be fetching some warning points on your record as a result.
* ! 1d.) Spamming - Bad Schemes / Chain Letters / Malware / Spyware / Trojans / Viruses:[/u]
- Please do NOT post any forms of bad schemes, or chain letters here at our forum community. Also, we will NOT tolerate any forms of malware, spyware, trojans, viruses, or any other harmful computer software whatsoever here at Acer's Supreme Forum Hits. Again, we do not condone this behaviour AT ALL costs! Whoever is caught doing these things... will obviously be severely punished by either myself or my staff team. So you better stay out of it and keep it to yourselves.
* 2a.) Flaming - General Forms Of It:[/u]
- Flaming is not to be tolerated around here in our forum community. If someone flames another regular member or staff member that includes moderators, global/super moderators or co-administrators for that matter, or even including the Founder of Acer's Supreme Forum Hits... yours truly... ME!!!
- Trolling is also kinda the same thing, as flaming, pretty much.
Either the staff members or myself will do the following:
. A warning on your record for your first offense telling you not to do it again.
. Another warning with warning points on your record for your second offense.
. Temporarily banned from these forums for one week for your third offense.
. Temporarily banned from these forums for one month for your fourth offense.
. Permanently banned from these forums forever. Name, E-mail, IP Banned for your fifth offense.
. Your Internet Service Provider will be contacted/reported for your sixth offense if you continue to evade and disobey, but I will let it slide if things do go smoothly.
- So in the near foreseeable future, try not to flame or troll other members in this forum community. It's not allowed and it shall not be tolerated. However, if you want to spaz on a specific member out, do it on "Flame/Vent[/u] & Spam Related" sub-board under the main Other/Miscellaneous board if you want to leash your anger... ONLY IF YOU WANT TO!
* 2b.) Flaming - Flame-Baiting A Member:[/u]
- If you flame-bait a member you have made an attempt to provoke them to flame you, either by an indirect attack or otherwise, without actually technically flaming them. The staff members here will decide whether or not your post had any malicious intent and actions will be dealt accordingly. You may think you are joking AND can get away with it, but you will be at risk if the person your post targets becomes angry/upset for that matter and we do not want that happen here.
* 2c.) Flaming - Flame Wars:[/U]
- Everyone appreciates a good heated debate. It could be about anything... like the weather, a certain type of food, a certain type of beverage, computer parts, a game, a movie, a television show, music, whatever. Debates are a wonderful aspect of communities. That's what makes up a community, enthusiasts discussing the finer points of a hobby or an interest. Unfortunately, it is all too easy for these debates to degrade into something that isn't welcome in most communities and that is a "Flame War". A flame war is a situation in which one or all of the aforementioned rules has been broken and a staff member is "forced" to step in to defuse it.
* 3.) Forum Necromancy / Reviving Old Threads:[/u]
More On Forum Necromancy Here: Forum Necromancy - CGWiki
- For this rule, you're not specifically be allowed to revive old threads for now A FULL ONE YEAR[/u], but due to the activity we have here, I am willing to extend that to THREE YEARS[/u], depending on WHICH SPECIFIC THREAD it is. It is okay if you want conversations to last and all, but please, do not try to overdue it or even abuse it. If you wish to bump that specific thread, please LET ME know or any of the staff members of Acer's Supreme Forum Hits know as soon as possible by either private messaging to that staff member or e-mailing that staff member to get that specific thread back into action again. You can BUMP it on a 24, 48, 72, 96, or a 120 hour period basis if you want WITHOUT asking. Thank you!
For boards, you will be allowed to bump off your particular topics that you posted in the following boards / sub-boards:
. Your introduction and return threads in the main Arrivals & Departures Introductions board.
. Your staff application threads in the main Staff Job Application - New Recruitment(s) Related board.
. Your graphic request threads in the MAIN Graphic Requests / Pick-Up board.
. Most of the forum game threads in the main Forum Games Related board.
. Your "favourite" Babe topics of any kind in the Babe Forum Related sub-board on the main Other/Miscellaneous Discussion board.
. Most of the flame, spam, and vent threads in the Flame/Vent & Spam Related sub-board on the main Other/Miscellaneous Discussion board.
. Your website and forum advertisements in two of our advertisement boards in the main Site/WebSite Advertising and the main Forum Advertising boards respectfully.
. Your website and forum advertisement affiliation threads in the main Site/Forum Affiliations board.
. Your website and forum advertisement rating threads in the main Site/Forum Ratings board.
And many more of them, but that is pretty much it for these "TYPE" of exceptions there, so yeah. Thank you for understanding!
* 4.) Off-Topic Posting / Staying On Topic:[/u]
- ALWAYS try your best to stay on topic in their respective boards/sub-boards, unless there's a "Off-Topic" game thread you can post on. Going off-topic excessively will obviously will bring you warnings, along with warning points included too. So stay clear and simply DON'T GO OFF-TOPIC on the subject!
* 5.) Cloning / Hijacking Threads:[/u]
- There will be absolutely none of that. Cloning and/or hijacking threads are prohibited in and around Acer's Supreme Forum Hits.
* 6.) Mass Chatting:[/u]
- I'll explain on what this rule is. Mass Chatting is a form that user to user talks back and forth in replying to posts in threads. In some certain cases, you need to wait and let them reply in their opinions. That won't be Mass Chatting, but, if one of you mass chats another member in that same/different thread all the time, then it's considered to be Mass Chatting and it won't be tolerated. Please refrain from mass chatting on these forums. This isn't AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, IRC, MSN (Windows Live), Yahoo, or any other instant messaging programs. If you want to mass chat, do it on an instant messaging application which is MUCH an easier process. You can also interact via social networking websites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, for your usefulness there.
* 7a.) Advertisements Of Any Kind - Websites / Forums In General:[/u]
- Please do not try and advertise your websites and/or forums anywhere across the forum community here, including topics in the wrong boards/sub-boards to garner attention. It also includes posting a website / forum link in your Introduction thread on the Arrivals & Departures board. It may be accidentally and you might garner members for your own good and with measure, so we don't allow it. It will make you look bad if you do it. We already have these types of advertising boards, just for you to post on there, so get on with it, but make sure you obey all the advertisement rules in their respective advertising boards if it's regarding on websites and/or on forums. If you disobey this, you will be warned. Continue, and warning points will be stacked like no tomorrow.
* 7b.) Advertisements Of Any Kind - Private Messaging Members About Your WebSites / Forums:[/u]
- Which-ever member that does this by private messaging a regular or a staff member on Acer's Supreme Forum Hits about their website and/or forum will be warned and be fetching some warning points to their record. Please notify me or one of the staff members about this so that we can deal with the situation at hand and telling the member to stop doing this. You are allowed to show off your website and/or forum advertisements in these advertisement boards that we have provided here for you respectively for you. Again though, follow the advertising rules over there. Thank you!
* 8.) Insubordination:[/u]
More On Insubordination Here: Insubordination
- This is when you do not follow a direct order issued to you by a forum leader/staff member. If a board moderator, global/super moderator, or administrator tells you to do something (like shortening your avatar size, shortening your signature size, reduce multiple posting, reducing spam, as examples), you must follow through with his/her request or ask another forum leader/staff member for their second opinion of theirs. If a board moderator, global/super moderator, or administrator tells you that your signature is too long, for example, but another board moderator, global/super moderator, or administrator tells you that it's fine you may leave your signature as it is. If both leaders complain about your signature's length, however, you must follow through with their order and shorten it to the right appropriate size.
* 9.) Racial, Sexual & Prejudice Remarks Of Any Kind:[/u]
- We absolutely DO NOT allow these kinds of remarks here at this forum community. Do NOT dare to disrespect any of the members if they're black or white, or whatever ethnic race they are. If you abuse being racist or sexist or prejudice or whatever, you will be given a warning. If you do it again, you will be fetching warning points. If you do it again once more, you will be severely be given a warning and additional but "double" the warning points. If you can't take the heat and do it again, you will be banned for one week. Come back to continue it again, you will be banned for one month. Come back and even abuse it more, you will be permanently be banned ENTIRELY! No further questions asked! So again, any kind racial slurs from those jokes for that matter is NOT allowed and will NOT be tolerated. We don't condone this around here. Thank you!
* 10.) Posting In The Wrong Category / Section:[/u]
- Please do NOT post any of your threads in the wrong category / section of our forum community, or we have to move them to their respective boards / sub-boards for that matter. We do NOT want this to happen and it won't be allowed and tolerated also. If you do it, you will be warned. If you do it again, you will be fetching some warning points in your record.
* ! 11.) Disrespecting The Forum Creator/Founder/Leader/Owner + Main Administrator:[/u]
- Try not, and I repeat, TRY NOT to disrespect the founder of these great forum communities, which is me, yours truly, Acer! He is, of course, the creator, founder, leader, and owner of these forums and if you abused him or make fun of him in a negative[/u] sort of way, like I mean, A LOT OF TIMES, I will NOT hesitate and be pressured to get you screwed up one way or another... BIG TIME!
Breaking this particular rule multiple times and you will receive the following:
. A huge warning on your record explaining what you did wrong for your first offense.
. Severe warning with serious amount of warning points on your record for your second offense.
. Permanently banned from these forums forever. For Good! That includes Name, E-mail, IP Banned for your third offense.
[OPTIONAL - Fourth Offense!]
. Your Internet Service Provider will be contacted/reported for your fourth offense if you continue to evade and disobey, but I will let it slide if things do go smoothly.
- So do NOT ever attempt to abuse or threaten me for that matter. It is basically three strikes... and you... are... OUT OF HERE for real! If you post any negative thoughts about or directed towards me, it is a very hurtful thing for me and everyone else in the forum community being involved and it will look me bad, obviously. So, don't ever... EVER... EVER... do it... again! And I seriously mean it! This is over, but all of you can understand, right? And remember, do not mess with me, the forum owner. I can ban you right off the forum community here if you get in my bad side.
(DO NOTE: Negative name calling towards me is NOT tolerated. So calling me a bad name like "Bot / Robot" for example, will get you warned, but I'll let that slide for now, but keep on repeating that name to me and you WILL BE warned and be issued warning points for your misbehaviour. Some slim chances here and there. And for your information, I AM NOT A FREAKING ROBOT! OKAY?! I AM A FREAKING HUMAN BEING, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS HERE! Thank you, just had to clear this up my chest for those "ignorant sheep" who get in my way and does NOT learn the facts. Whoever you are, I will FIST PUMP in your FACE!)
* 12.) Disrespecting Any Of The Staff Members Ranging From Forum Moderators, Global/Super Moderators To Co-Administrators:[/u]
- Try not to disrespect any of our wonderful staff members like our forum moderators, global/super moderators and co-administrators. They are trying to help you solve any sort of problems (serious or not) they might encounter. The staff team here are really friendly, and they are willing to keep the forum as safe as possible under my discretion. Please respect them in all costs or face the consequences, made by yours truly, your staff members of Acer's Supreme Forum Hits. Also remember to not mess with Co-Administrators as they can ban you right off the forum community here as well. Same with Global/Super Moderators IF they have the rights to ban members, if they have their banning privileges enabled, that is, under my discretion and approval.
* 13.) Bright Colouring:[/u]
- Please do NOT type any forms bright colours in your texts/posts. It really hurts our eyes with the high Brightness screen in our computers is set to 100%, or whatever background, it is on, like White and/or Gray backgrounds for instance. Bright lime yellow and bright lime green are unacceptable and those colours will be used for the safety of their eyes. Don't blind them also!
* 14.) Cursing / Cussing / Swearing:[/u]
- This applies to most of the regular members, while staff members are given limited to no restrictions on this. It is not REALLY necessary to swear in our forum community, only if you feel that it is needed in some parts of the forum when you release your anger off your chest, or something like that. Try NOT to overdo it though. This is a privilege, not a right. We are obviously making this forum... family-friendly-oriented fun for the whole entire community, so try and reduce the swearing... just a bit, but they will still be allowed here. It is kind of like rated "PG to PG-13", you know, and I hope everyone understands about this, as we might have young kids either reading, watching, or posting this too.
* 15.) Nudity / Pornography / Sexual Material Of Any Kind:[/u]
- Of any and every kind there is, there will absolutely be no pornography, nudity, or any sexual material of any kind allowed in our forum community! If like your parents/guardians or CERTAIN adults see it, they might get mad at you for such disturbing nudity of some "things". Remember, this is a family-friendly-oriented forum and we want to keep this forum community AS CLEAN and CLEAR from any forms of pornography here as POSSIBLE, and that includes you, you PESKY PORN BOTS! It is NOT tolerated here. The Babe Forum Related sub-board over there under the Other/Miscellaneous Discussion board, is ALSO affected by this too, so no pornography for there for the ladies. Obviously, it is against the ProBoards Terms Of Service rules too, so be aware of that. If you want to see porn so badly, search for a porn website, and jack off to it you filthy disturbing pig (just kidding)... but obviously NOT IN HERE!
If you do post pornography, here is what WILL happen to you if you do:
. A huge warning on your record explaining what you did wrong for your first offense.
. Severe warning with serious amount of warning points on your record for your second offense.
. Permanently banned from these forums forever. For Good! That includes Name, E-mail, IP Banned for your third offense.
[OPTIONAL - Fourth Offense!]
. Your Internet Service Provider will be contacted/reported for your fourth offense if you continue to evade and disobey, but I will let it slide if things do go smoothly.
- So remember, no pornography and everyone is happy. Thank you for your co-operation into this matter.
* 16.) Posting Inappropriate Non-Pornographic Images Of Any Kind:[/u]
- Please do not try and post any type of inappropriate images anywhere around our forum community. Remember, we are trying to be a family-friendly-oriented forum, so you must respect all members from this cause. If you fail to obey this rule, you will be warned and be given some warning points on your record due to that. We don't want any disturbing images of anything of any kind, so please keep those to yourself. Thank you!
* 17.) Using Proper English That Resembles To Grammar / Spelling / Punctuation:[/u]
- Please don't try acting like an idiot or a moron here in over for anyone to amuse you about this particular rule. But anyways, this is ONLY for your well-being and pleasure, try your best to use proper sentences + paragraphs in your posts, try to spell everything correctly in your posts, try to punctuate in the right place with commas, periods, colons, exclamation points, question marks, etc., and try to use proper grammar too to make everything sense. Of course, this is for CERTAIN of these people that do NOT know about this if they are NOT aware of it at hand.
* 18a.) Using Appropriate Avatars & Signatures Here In General:[/u]
- All of our regular members and even staff members are strongly encouraged to use any types of avatars and signatures that they are AGE APPROPRIATE[/u] use for this forum community right here. Any kinds of offensive material will not be involved being put, even though you respect that particular thing. If any staff member or myself sees any offensive and appropriate material that is not suitable for all ages, you will be warned, ALONG with warning points and EVEN removing your avatar and signature privileges with REASON(S) why you did, if you don't take it off with the staff member or in the discretion of myself on the amount of days that the image must be removed completely off the forum. If you refuse to remove the avatar and/or signature image being told by the staff members or myself multiple times, we will double your warning, until it gets removed, so please refrain on using the same one and use a different one that is age appropriate here. Thank you!
* 18b.) Avatar Restrictions:[/u]
- Custom avatars may be no larger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels and no more than 100 Kilobytes.
- Keep it clean! Just like all the other content on our forum community, your avatar must be suitable for people of all ages. Obscenities in any form, censored or otherwise are not permitted. No gore, blood or other disturbing imagery. Refrain from making political statements. No religion or religious statements. Excessive flashing or other obnoxious distracting animation is also a no-no. Additionally, images that are suggestive or do not show all persons properly clothed may be considered inappropriate.
* 18c.) Signature Restrictions:[/u]
- All right. You cannot display a signature that is larger than 550 pixels wide in length and 150 pixels high in width of EACH signature. If you'd like your entire signature to show up, then you are allowed to do so, without falling onto the maximum dimensions for each.
- Signatures cannot contain music, or flash animations. However, I will allow this to slide for now, unless if it was overdone by many members here.
- Signatures cannot contain more than 5 images each.
- The maximum allowable signature size is 500 Kilobytes. Please note that this size is the total size allowed. If you have multiple images in your signature, the sum of all their sizes must be 500 Kilobytes or less. You can find out how large your images are by right clicking them in the browser and choosing "Properties" the size is shown in "KB".
- The following HTML tags are allowed in signatures as well as the HTML post editor...
<a href="..." target="..."> <b> <p align="..."> <u> <br> <em> <hr> <ol> <li> <ul> <div align="..."> <img src="..." width="..." height="..." border="..."> <font face="..." style="..." size="..." color="..."> <span class="..."> <strike> <strong> <blockquote dir="..." style="..."> <i> <center>- Keep it clean! Just like all the other content on our forum community, your signature must be suitable for people of all ages. Obscenities in any form, censored or otherwise are not permitted. No gore, blood or other disturbing imagery. Refrain from making political statements. No religion or religious statements. Excessive flashing or other obnoxious distracting animation is also a no-no. Additionally, images that are suggestive or do not show all persons properly clothed may be considered inappropriate.
Overall, last, and most important not least, all other forum policies including the Official Forum Rules apply to avatar and signature content as well.
* 19.) Following All ProBoards Terms Of Service & Privacy Policy Rules:[/u]
- It is the same that applies to this forum community as well. But most importantly around here, you are expected to obey all[/u] the ProBoards Terms of Service Rules AND the Privacy Policy Rules. Thank you!
- Don't know the links to the ProBoards Terms of Service Rules and the ProBoards Private Policy Rules? Look below for them, among with others associate with ProBoards here:

- Multiple accounts are prohibited here in Acer's Supreme Forum Hits. Only one forum account, per member when you register into the forum community. We will be keeping track of your IP's though from time to time, occasionally and stuff.
* 21.) Impersonating Any Member / Being Imposters:[/u]
- Impersonating other members is strictly PROHIBITED[/u] in here. You got to register a different name, and another by the same name.
But, if you fail to abide by this particular rule, it will result in the following:
. A huge warning on your record explaining what you did wrong for your first offense.
. Severe warning with serious amount of warning points on your record for your second offense.
. Permanently banned from these forums forever. For Good! That includes Name, E-mail, IP Banned for your third offense.
[OPTIONAL - Fourth Offense!]
. Your Internet Service Provider will be contacted/reported for your fourth offense if you continue to evade and disobey, but I will let it slide if things do go smoothly.
- Imposters will NOT be allowed in here. If you are the imposter and trying to impersonate me, the staff members, or any the other regular members here, we will force to check your IP on you. If it is THAT bad, we will deal with the situation by ourselves. If you are indeed co-operative, we WILL let you out on the LOOP for certain aspects and purposes, so you must be best to watch out on what you are going to do there if you are NOT being careful.
* 22.) Acting Like A "Special One":[/u]
- Please don't be or act like a "Special One" around here! You know what I mean, right? Get my drift?
(DO NOTE: One example from the past is when a member named "Special One" was registered here on the forums. He was here because he acted "disrespectful", "special", and so full of himself. However though, his attitude has since changed, and I do hope FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, it stays that way! FOR GOOD!)
* 23.) Giving Out The Opportunity Of The Chance(s) If You're Banned And Returned From The Forum Community Here - Please Do Read At Your Own Risk:[/u]
- Remember, if you are banned by the third or fourth or whatever amount of offenses, I MIGHT give you a total of just FIVE[/U] chances and that's final! If you break all FIVE[/U], you are just wasting my time, and everyone else's time, and you WILL be permanently gone here from this forum community for GOOD. Evade or it is EVEN worst than staying here breaking the forum rules constantly. You know who YOU are, in particular.
* 24.) Reviewing All The Rules Being Posted:[/u]
- Of course, make sure to take your time, once again, step-by-step to read each and every rule CAREFULLY. Don't try and SKIP THEM though!
* 25.) And To Our Best Regards...:[/u]
- And for the Acer's Supreme Forum Hits forum community itself, the staff members, and myself for this matter, HAVE FUN and ENJOY YOUR STAY and TRY TO BE ACTIVE everyone! Thank you for visiting us. And DO watch out for that cursed nasty shelf AND smurf! It really hates inactive members, so you better not stay inactive for this matter, or the shelf and/or smurf will gobble you RIGHT off your tracks! Hehe.
*Acer turns his eyes and twitches at everyone if you are not co-operated with me! You are the funky punks around here! If you don't, go to hell and leave this place. Come back if you're ready to behave again like a mature member would be.
*Acer walks off from his twitching counterparts.
As always, please enjoy your stay, have fun around here, happy posting, try to be active, and obey these Forum / Chat Rules at all costs. If someone breaks these certain AND particular rules, please report it to a forum moderator, global/super moderator, co-administrator or the main administrator himself, Acer, and they will be dealt with and it is going to be decided if they're going to be warned by any staff member or by that particular staff member in general. If the punishment is severe, they potentially be going to get banned here. So please, try and remember to report them to me or the staff. It will not be tolerated until further notice! Use the "Report" button for your own pleasure if you see something wrong with his/her post! Thank you, as always!
That's it for the Forum Rules above. Warnings now in the official Warning System forum! Check it out by visiting this topic of the following URL:
Warning System For Acer's Supreme Forum Hits
Remember, all regular/normal members cannot break the forum rules, so try to obey the forum rules, or else you will be warned and be given warning points. This applies to staff members too. The ones like Forum Moderators, Global/Super Moderators, and even Co-Administrators. This won't be tolerated. Staff will and can't abuse their worthy powers for this matter! The only exception to anyone breaking the forum rules is the creator, founder, leader, and owner of Acer's Supreme Forum Hits, Acer, and I mean it, can break these forum rules! He can do the things he wants to do since it is HIS forum after all![/u] So please respect that.
Also, NORMAL Guests that comes to my forum. If you came here to browse, please either log-in or register to the forums, so it will be a lot easier for me. Obviously, you won't be suffering any penalties, so feel free to post anywhere but in the Guests Room Related board if you have any time on doing so. Thank you!
The following former staff members that formerly had moderator, global moderator/super moderator, or co-administrator powers has been STRIPPED OFF FROM THEIR POSITIONS off from 1-2-3 months or more. You need to be super active and post every single day to make this procedure, a worthwhile effort. Please try to come on if you can now. If you have powers right now currently and have been inactive for at least 4 weeks, 1 month, two months, three months, or so, your moderator powers has been automatically stripped off or demoted from your positions. Because of this, you need to be active and post every single day to get it back, and you will be rewarded, if you do all the hard work, regardless on what you say. Please follow the rule next time and think about it for a second on when you first joined here and be apart of it.
New wave of people will be given out moderator status for free if anyone co-operates here in this particular reason, but that is JUST only a SLIM chance of that happening here.
Remember everyone, the rules are obviously here for a REASON, so you need to follow them! If not obeyed, you WILL be asked to read them again. If you fail to comply, you will be warned, then be given warning points, then be temporarily banned. Break more rules of the same thing and the ban really sticks this time, permanently, for good. That's your tip for today folks!
Again, thanks for reading... REGARDING about these Forum Rules here! Have fun and enjoy your stay and happy posting everybody! Be active as well and good luck! I hope you will advance and succeed!

Acer's Other (New) InvisionFree Forum!
- Kinda of an active forum with awesome boards with sub-boards to post on to. We need more members as always, especially active members! Please join there and contribute your support there! Thanks a lot!
NOT NEW: My phpBB forums are now hosted by a member named Sissyloo. They are held at:
Acer's phpBB Forums!
- You don't have to register, but it's optional. It's just a bonus. Forget about it.
Note On The Above Statement: It's gone, don't go there as it no longer exists within me. Blame Sissyloo for her actions, god dammit. I don't know, she's taken care of it already. Damn bastard. She'll pay for this! Actually, it's down or something, so expect some updates, not into the future. And does phpBB really resembles anything to you people?
- Everyone ask about the phpBB forums, I already know. One of my mates named Sissyloo left the forum out of contention, so don't worry about it.
And that's about it! Enjoy the rules! If it needs updates or changes, notify me on it! Thank you!
Please Note:[/u] Rule #11 is the UTMOST of importance to read, for sure! Everyone MUST obey that rule or suffer VERY SERIOUS consequences by me!
If CERTAIN of our forum members here does NOT obey the rules in all costs, they will receive VERY SEVERE consequences and comebacks, and they will LIKELY be locked in some sort of a steel cage where you cannot escape and the prey feeds your blood off to them.
