  2. No Tarot Readings or Predictions - prediction requests and tarot request / predictions or spreads will be locked and deleted.
  3. Use the search feature
    If you have a question, do a search on this board before posting it. This will eliminate re-posts and clutter.
  4. No Multiple/Cross Postings
    It is simply not acceptable to post your question more than once, or to post it in more than one forum. Choose the forum that your question or post best fits in, and place it there and only there. If, after posting, you feel it should be in another forum, please PM the appropriate Moderator of the forum you have posted in and ask him/her to move it. We also reserve the right to move posts to other forums and delete duplicates.
    YES::"I have a link I'd like to share."
    NO: "My website's amazing - check it out"
  5. No Threats/Harassment.
    Open debate is welcomed, harassment is not. This would be threats of bodily harm or other forms of harassment against another user, through Public posts or Private (IM, email and PM) messages.
  6. No Flaming or Trolling.
    Be respectful of other posters and please keep discussions tasteful. Respect other point of views and they will respect yours.
  7. Do not post in all caps, especially in the subject heading.
    YES:
    I am NOT an idiot.
    NO: I AM NOT AN IDIOT.
  8. Posting/Linking Off-Site Pictures.
    Please remember that not all members have fast internet connections. You are providing a link to a large picture please give a warning and if possible provide a file size. If you are embedding (using the IMG tags) then please make sure the file is under 20k in size. If you are unsure as to size of the picture rather post a link to the picture.
  9. Plagiarism.
    Please cite your sources when copying and pasting information into your post. We encourage original thinking in this forum, but when quoting someone else work please give credit where credit is due. Also be mindful of the amount of information taken, simply copying and pasting from other websites does not make for a post, if doing this then simply provide the link to save all other members ploughing through the superflous information. Please see the announcement on copyright informations at the top of the page - violations will be locked and deleted.
  10. Moderator set rules â?? These are rules setup by a moderator in each individual forum.
    • Seed Thread Rules â?? There are a number of specialized threads on Altzone these threads often need to be governed by their own set of rules.
    • MODERATORS SET RULES - set by the moderators due to special circumstances of the individual forum.
    Please observe these rules, and treat them as extensions to the other rules of occultforums
  11. Keep it Clean:While certain vocabulary can better help us express ourselves, please make a concerted effort to keep profanity to a minimum. We do not wish to hinder free speech, but we do ask that certain language is used only when absolutely necessary to stress a point or feeling.
  12. Post in the appropriate topic.YES: Not everything goes in the Chaos Magic forum. NO: If my post is about magic, it MUST be Chaos Magic.
  13. Posting of software:You may post up links to legitimate software that you think people will find useful, so long as it is related to the forum in which you are posting it. However we will not allow the posting of any warez (serial numbers/cracks) and Malware (Trojans/viruses) abuse of this rule will result in banning.
  14. NO PREACHING.We do not tolerate people boasting they have universal truths. or that their religion is the only right one. or that people are evil because of x,y,and z. so everyone has an opinion be tolerant of others. this is a non prejudice forum we would like to keep it that way
  15. Deletion of postsThere are instances were you may need to delete a post. For instance, creating a duplicate post or flaming someone and then thinking better of it. However, posts are not to be deleted only because you are no longer planning on participating in the forum, you have read it over months down the road and believe it innane, or any other reason other than the two already given without the approval of a moderator. Deletion of posts without the approval of a moderator, as some may have replied or it is done to make someone look stupid or it interrupts the conversation because others have used items within it, may be grounds from immediate banning. In addition, any posts deleted can and will be reinstated by the moderators.
General Information
  1. If you are banned:
    Being banned means that you can no longer post on AltZone. You are also banned for life and we check IP addresses of suspected members that try to re-register. If you are caught doing this, we will place a ban on your IP address and report it to your ISP. If you feel that you have unfairly been banned, you can email the admin team at their respective email address linked in their profiles.
  2. Concerning off-site avatars:
    There has been a lot of debate amongst Admin's regarding avatars linked from other sites. The problem is simple: We can't control size of remotely linked avatars. However, we decided to allow them for the time being. Do NOT upload an avatar that is too large for the cell in which it resides. If it pushes the border of the cell outwards (you'll know it by viewing a topic) we will delete it and be very unhappy with you.
  3. Locked Threads:
    Moderators reserve the right to close any thread that does not break a rule, for any reason, if however you feel that your thread was unjustly locked, please PM the moderator concerned and ask for further clarification, do not just start another post with slightly different wording, as this will be locked as well.
  4. Asking for help:
    If you need help or have any questions feel free to PM one of the moderators.
  5. Been abused?
    If you are been harassed by another member of the forum, polease pm the moderator of that forum.
    • Public posts - Please report this to the moderator of the forum in which you are having the problem.
    • Private messages(PM) - Keep the message in question and forward it to one of the moderators or admin.
    Please do not retaliate in kind, this just leads to flaming and everybody gets unhappy.
  6. Security: As a general rule of thumb never give out any personal details on the internet. This includes home address and telephone numbers. We have a growing community here and we have members who are meeting out in the real world, if you are going to do this, make sure you take a friend with you and make sure that you let people know where you are going to met with your internet contact and who that contact is. It is always better safe than sorry.
