Ok. So I realized that we dont have any rules yet. So here I am to write them.
THE RULES!
1) Please introduce yourself in the Introduction section which I am about to add. Share anything you want to share, but also please post your understanding and/or progress so we will know what usergroup to put you in.
2) Be respectful. No one wants to deal with someone who has an inferiority complex and has to make themselves feel right by starting arguements, throwing insults, and overall being plain rude with others. REMEMBER: DEBATING IS POSSIBLE WHILE BEING RESPECTFUL!!!!
3) No advertising! The only things that should be here are your findings, questions, answers, and advice for others in the beginner, initiate, and adept sections. Links to your poetry and art may be posted in the poetry and art section. Other than that, the only time links should be posted are in the case of you putting up a new book that you think would be helpful in the learning material section, if you are getting an opinion on if you should buy a product (which would be like my gears of war 3 post) and that would go in offtopic. links to youtube videos, or the video itself, as long as it's not for the point of advertising, may also be posted in offtopic. If you need help in determining if a video/link may be posted, and in what section, just ask either myself or any other staff.
4)Rules may be added, taken away, or modified by the staff at any time. If you feel a rule is unfair, and have a good reason, there is an open door policy, which means send a private message to a staff member about it, and that staff member will converse with the others. If your arguement makes sense, the rule will be modified to something more fair and balanced, though that is what we try to do when we come up with the rules.
5) Have fun! Get to know people! Just... don't get to know them too well, cause nobody likes a stalker. But on a serious note, this should be a friendly atmosphere, and those that may be in need of help need only to ask.

THE PUNISHMENT FOR BREAKING THE RULES!
Rule 1) There is no punishment, cause for all we know, you could just be too busy to introduce yourself. Just please try to remember to introduce yourself so that we can find the appropriate usergroup for you. That is the only reason this rule was made.
Rule 2) If you become a problem, and people are complaining about your lack of respect because of insults, slander, starting arguements for no reason, etc. then you will be banned for a set period of time. If it happens again after you are unbanned, then you will be banned for a longer time. This is repetative until you reach a maximum ban time (which will never be permanent, but will be very long)
Rule 3) If you advertise with full knowledge that you are advertising, you will be banned. If it is incidental, however, you may e-mail me at spirit_of_jecht@hotmail.com to discuss your reason, and if it's simply a mistake, or something you didnt mean to do, and you can prove that, you will be unbanned.
Rule 4) There is no punishment for this rule because you CAN'T BREAK IT! YAY!
Rule 5) This is more of a consideration than a rule. If you dont get to know anyone, nothing will happen to you, it's just recommended so you dont have to travel the path alone.
Remember, rules are subject to change at any moment. Please obey them and enjoy your stay.
