Announcements: HTML has been disabled. I have been kind enough to allow customising of posts, but I guess it's either freedom or no freedom at all.
I am lazy to do Forum Awards this year. |

 |  Subject: ----> FORUM RULES <----  Sat 24 Dec 2011, 2:28 pm | |
|  THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC IN THIS FORUM Contents:-
- Post 1
(this post): Rules
- Post 2: Policies -[Bumping, Warnings, Requests, Name changes, and more]-
- Post 3: Group Rules
THESE ARE OUR FORUM RULES, READ THEM CAREFULLY, AND IF YOU GOT A QUESTION ABOUT THEM, SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO InhumanPwnage.
<a name="rules"></a> 1): Advertising or Sharing of Websites IS FORBIDDEN!(click on black rectangle below to read details inside! Click again to minimize) - Spoiler:
The use of sharing websites on this forum is strictly forbidden unless it is:- A link to a Clan's forum (NFMM)
- A well known, certified SAFE site. (Youtube/FaceBook/DeviantArt/Twitter/etc...)
- or relevant to the topic in someway or another! MUST BE RELEVANT!
Furthermore:- Do not advertise WEBSITES on these forums. It will only result in instant post deletion and a Ban, depending on the way the post was done!
- Spamming a site or literally just repeating the same thing over and over again would even result in a Warning!
NOTE: Advertising another forum/ website by the " Website" field in a user's profile WILL NOT result in a Ban or Warning however.
2): No Spamming / use of Questionable Content!
(click on black rectangle below to read details inside! Click again to minimize)- Spoiler:
Upon further inspection of the forum, certain people only seem to care about post count, or they just never read these rules to begin with. About how every post should be, this is what we look for, to see if your post is spam or not: - Any post which is below 5 words, will be an immediate waste of space to all who post afterward. Not only does it take up space, 5 words would not carry a good supply of information, as a forum is a place for DISCUSSION not chatting! Take the conversation to Personal Messaging or to the Forum Chatbox (see 2nd post for more).
- For all those new people to this forum; DOUBLE POSTING (posting 2 posts after each other or more) is strictly forbidden, unless you are a Developer of your own NFM version It's not a method of getting someone banned, but a way of spamming up the forum. A warning WILL be given, so don't think we won't see you. To avoid such a thing please use the EDIT button located at the Top-Right of your post, to edit your last post with the extra detail and provide a reason.
- No posting of a Topic/Post which already exists OR which has no purpose whatsoever as to what it's aiming at.
By this, it can refer to:
-Messages in caps for no reason at all (unless it's an mahboi/Moderator or helps towards the topic).
-Useless posts.
-Inflammatory purposes (see below for more).
-Posts with NO DISCUSSION value whatsoever.
- Any topic that has its last post older than or equal to 3 months, should not be posted on! This act is called Bumping or necro-posting. If you have a question about a topic that falls in this category, send a pm to the original poster about it. Certain topics do not have this rule, see POLICIES below under Posting Issues for more.
- Lastly:- FLAMING or TROLLING won't be tolerated at all costs!
- To FLAME is to either: INSULT, BULLY, HATE, TALK BAD ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE, or openly USE BAD LANGUAGE.
To TROLL is to either: GO OFF TOPIC, ANNOY A PERSON, post FOR THE SAKE OF POSTING, post / use of UNNECESSARY, EROTIC / SENSUAL / NSFW both implied or otherwise, FEARFUL, SCAT related CONTENT ANYWHERE.
This also includes; COMPLAINING, MANIPULATION of someone's view/opinion or discussion / hinting / use of SUICIDAL imagery.
- YOU ARE A FORUM MEMBER, NOT A MODERATOR! IF YOU SEE SOMEBODY SPAM, DO NOT BE THE HERO TO TRY AND STOP IT! IF YOU ARE A MODERATOR, YOU DO NOT TELL SOMEBODY TO STOP - YOU DELETE THE SPAMMER'S POST/SPAM IMMEDIATELY, AND WARN THE PERSON THROUGH PM. CAN NORMAL MEMBERS DO THAT? SHOULD THEY? IT IS NOT THE MEMBER'S JOB! WE HAVE MODERATORS FOR A REASON!
- DO NOT ASK TO LOCK A TOPIC BY POSTING ON THE TOPIC ITSELF. YOU "REQUEST LOCK" THROUGH PM'ING AN ADMINISTRATOR. YOU ARE ONLY BUMPING THE TOPIC BY "REQUESTING IT". BY THE WAY, YOU ARE NO MODERATOR TO REQUEST ANYTHING FROM THE ADMINISTRATION. TAKE THE REQUESTING TO PM/CHATBOX. WE ARE TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR JOB OR THE GLOBAL MOD'S. SLIGHT MISBEHAVIOR? YOU'RE CONTINUING WHAT THE BUMPER/CREATOR DID. WE DON'T WANT THAT, WHAT IS DEAD, SHOULD BE DEAD, DO NOT ENCOURAGE IT! YOU ARE NO MODERATOR! YOUR GROUP DOESN'T READ "MODERATOR".
- Furthermore, the above result in going off topic or provoking others to act emotionally or misuse the topic for inflammatory purposes.
ALL THE ABOVE RESULT IN SPAMMING!
3): COPYRIGHT!
(click on black rectangle below to read details inside! Click again to minimize)- Spoiler:
Using other people's work or codes without their permission will automatically make you a CODE THIEF! We do not care how you got the code, what counts is that the original creator knows that you are using his/her work! Once you have asked, please credit the original creator, or give them a mention in your work that it is NOT YOURS!We will not bother to write down a list of people who have done this sort of misuse so that you should look out for them, for the simple reason that:
- They can come under any Username, so it is not worth it to mention names - only trust people who you know will do the right thing!
- Definite people you may trust on this forum are the Administrators and Moderators (see bottom page of Index for more).
We leave it now all up to you. Whoever you want, go ahead and share your work. Time and time again have the Administrators seen our own work being forged or stolen by others and just can't stand it.
IF YOU ARE CAUGHT BREAKING THIS RULE, EXPECT THE WORST TO HAPPEN!
4): One Account is ENOUGH!
(click on black rectangle below to read details inside! Click again to minimize)- Spoiler:
Using or having more than one account is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! No questions asked, if you have a brother or sister who would like to also register, please ask them to use a different font color to show that it is them, and still use one account! If you are still uncomfortable, please forward all proof that you can show/give to InhumanPwnage regarding more than 1 account per house/family/IP. Any violation of this rule will invoke a BAN!
5): Respect every person's PRIVACY!
(click on black rectangle below to read details inside! Click again to minimize)- Spoiler:
No one is obliged to use or give their personal details or information to anyone. Respect a person's decision if they do not wish to give out their own details, especially their own password or real-life details, they are not obliged to share them with you or anyone else.
DO NOT USE OR GIVE OUT ANOTHER PERSON'S PERSONAL OR PRIVATE INFORMATION OR DETAILS WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. PRIVACY IS A UNIVERSAL RIGHT, IF IT MAY NOT CONCERN YOU WHETHER YOUR OWN DETAILS ARE SPREAD, OTHERS MAY NOT BE FINE WITH THEIR DETAILS BEING GIVEN OUT WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.
DO NOT SPAM/ANNOY OR MANIPULATE ANOTHER PERSON INTO GIVING OUT THEIR DETAILS IF THEY ARE NO COMFORTABLE WITH IT, IT IS A FORM OF SPAMMING/TROLLING TO MAKE THE OTHER PERSON ACT EMOTIONALLY.
You have been warned.
6): No usage of Scripts in Signatures/Posts!
(click on black rectangle below to read details inside! Click again to minimize)- Spoiler:
Having or putting scripts, be it PHP, HTML or HTML5 scripts in posts or signatures will result in an immediate warning.
This especially goes for media, such as linking sounds or video files to auto-play. These hidden scripts are strictly forbidden.
These were the forum rules:- follow them well and you may just become one to edit the rules!

| POLICIES<a name="policies">~post #2</a>
>>>Posting Issues<<<
THIS IS AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING FORUM!
VPN addresses will be banned without warning.
Three types of topics:
-Personal Developer topics (PD)
-Public Topic/Poll
-Important
- Spoiler:
A Personal Developer topic (PD Topic), has taken the place of the Sticky topic. Naturally, we will now use this special type of topic more often now. The following is what it is used for: - Used to signify that the topic belongs and is being updated by the original poster.
- Original Poster can post as many times as he wants and at any time he wants (PD Topic ONLY!).
- Bumping not allowed after 3 months. Send a private message to the topic starter if last post is more than 3 months old.
A Public topic is one where the subject can change as long as it is relevant to the topic in some way. The only difference isthat the creator does not own the topic, everyone does and everyone can post on. However, there is more to it then that: - Open for everyone to post on.
- Keep Forum Rule #2 (from post 1) in mind.
- Double posting NOT allowed.
- Bumping does NOT exist unless the last post is 1 year old.
An Important topic or MuSt ReAd[/color] have to do with Administrator approved topics which help the community in some way possible, usually in the form of tutorials. The following is what is expected; - Correction of any possible mistakes in the topic.
- Ask questions/discussion about the topic.
- Bumping does NOT EXIST ONLY IN THESE TOPICS!
>>>Personal Avatars & Signatures<<<
- Spoiler:
Avatars: This forum is here for discussion purposes. We must respect everyone's space, and this includes our own avatar size when viewing topics. Avatars should be 200x 200 pixels wide AT THE MAXIMUM, to ensure topic consistency. Posts: Nobody likes to scroll a lot to see any content contributed by other people, so saying long words like a continuous aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa until the page is considered "glitched" will only ruin this forum's experience! Yes, things like this will earn you a warning (see below for more)! Signatures Every person has the right to have a signature. Signatures cannot be larger than 400 pixels in height when viewing in a topic. You will be warned, and then have your signature removed, if you do not comply. Further actions to remove your right to have your signature, or the signatures of everyone else on the forum,will be considered if this becomes a common violation!IT IS TAKEN FOR GRANTED THAT YOU KNOW THE GIST OF THESE FORUM RULES UPON REGISTERING. THEY ARE IN BOLD TEXT ON THE FIRST PAGE OF REGISTERING. THE FORUM RULES ARE AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, YOU AGREED TO FOLLOW THEM UPON REGISTERING. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE, YOU AGREED TO THEM.
AVOID DOING ANY OF THESE AT ALL COSTS!!
>>>User Warnings & the Warning Bar<<<
- Spoiler:
In the past, the Administrators used to warn people of impending bans by pm'ing each perpetrator about their infringement. We can no longer stand it, and have instead implemented the WARNING BAR system. The lower your bar, the closer you are to a PERMANENT ban. In case a person is out of control, or it is a special case, then TEMPORARY bans may be considered. WE DO NOT CARE if it was a sibling who got you banned, you should have kept your account intact and away from anyone else's reach, it is even mentinoed on the registration page to never trust anyone or let anyone touch or use your account!! The Warning Bar goes from:  Blue (No Warning),
 Green (Slight misbehaviour),
 Lime (1 warning),
 Yellow (2nd warning),
 Orange (3rd warning),
 Red (FINAL warning),
 to BANNED
Warning levels may be revoked with time. Long-term time.
>>>THE ADMINISTRATORS DO NOT TAKE REQUESTS<<<
- Spoiler:
- We are here to do our job, and to do it well. We couldn't care less if your face is on this forum, you can remove it yourself once you have registered. You may also stop visiting if you yourself couldn't care less about this forum, BUT DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT. OR EVEN, ASKING FOR AN UNDESERVED COURSE OF ACTION (uncalled for ban/acconut deletion, we don't do either of these WITHOUT REASON)! Again, we don't do either of these WITHOUT GOOD REASON TO!
- AGAIN: if you couldn't care less, or don't want to take part in this forum's activity, just leave. We will not listen to you ramble on about how you are right, and we are wrong, because actually, you registered in the first place, you should have never to begin with - it's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong. Nobody has anything to prove to anyone, but if you so think you have to prove something, take to pm'ing. If it's a name change or email change (see below), then it makes perfect sense to take as a request to make things easier for everyone.
- DO NOT ASK TO LOCK A TOPIC BY POSTING ON THE TOPIC ITSELF. YOU "REQUEST LOCK" THROUGH PM'ING AN ADMINISTRATOR. YOU ARE ONLY BUMPING THE TOPIC BY "REQUESTING IT". BY THE WAY, YOU ARE NO MODERATOR TO REQUEST ANYTHING FROM THE ADMINISTRATION. TAKE THE REQUESTING TO PM/CHATBOX. WE ARE TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR JOB OR THE GLOBAL MOD'S. SLIGHT MISBEHAVIOR? YOU'RE CONTINUING WHAT THE BUMPER/CREATOR DID. WE DON'T WANT THAT, WHAT IS DEAD, SHOULD BE DEAD, DO NOT ENCOURAGE IT! YOU ARE NO MODERATOR! YOUR GROUP DOESN'T READ "MODERATOR".
- We do not take requests to promote people to higher levels of responsibility. We pass judgment and loyalty accordingly, and only when the time is right, will the Staff pick someone new, in dire times, to help move this forum in the right direction.
>>>Username & Email changing<<<
Once you have registered, you are not allowed to change your username or email address, unless you send InhumanPwnage a private message about it! He can change it for you since he's an Administrator.
(What you should know) Restrictions:
- Spoiler:
- You may only contact InhumanPwnage to change your username once every 2 months (60 days). If you do before, your private message will be ignored.
If your new name change is stupid, inflammatory, too long, confusing or a multiple name of someone else's, it will be rejected.
- You may ask InhumanPwnage to change your email address only with a good reason, once a month (if needed).
Will only be changed for you if you provide a good reason!
>>>Chatbox REGULATIONS<<<
The chatbox acts as a small IRC (internet relay chat) that operates embedded on the forum index & portal.
- Spoiler:
- The Administrators have a @ symbol next to their name which means that they have the power to kick/ban people from the chatbox at will.
- Images may be posted the same way as in topics, even videos.
May only be done with the permission of other people present!
- It is a place for both chatting and discussion, and has been seen to operate rather slowly or laggy at times.
It will operate even slower with people posting pictures/videos, sometimes even glitch it up!
So don't post pictures at will if you don't mind.
- YOU SHALL NOT SPAM!
Or cause excess traffic/load on the chatbox by logging in and out repetitively!
Not even troll or flame for that matter!
Or send erotic or fearful content! (example: my love/screamers)
The Quickest way to get you banned.
- Remember that it is there to make our forum experience easier.
Not a place to start fights or hate wars!
>>>RadicalPlay<<<
- Spoiler:
This forum is no way connected or involved directly with the endeavours/activities of RadicalPlay (www.radicalplay.com).
We simply support those interested in NFM by offering this whole forum as a disccusion board.
The public section acts as a lounge, and a small place for groups of players (or clans) to chat and have their private space too.
>>>USERNAME tag-trick<<<
- Spoiler:
Using or abusing of the USERNAME tag trick (Guest is reading this right now) inside your own signatre will result in the removal of your siganture.
If caught, it will be removed without warning. For how long depends on what was inside and the offender.
