1. Use only ONE account name at this board. There's no point in having tons of members who are all the same person. Any extra accounts will be deleted from the member list.
2. Don't create a local account and never use it. Is there really a point to it? New local accounts will be allowed to stay for a week. If they are not used by then, they will be deleted.
3. No SPAMming. You can advertise your site, etc. in your sig.
4. No flaming or trolling. We're all a big underwater family. Let's not start fights.
5. Don't cuss. If you absolutely HAVE to cuss, use *dolphin sound*, as this is a kid-friendly board.
6. Please post in the appropriate forums. If a post is in the wrong place it will be moved to the correct one, so do not think the post was deleted. It may have just been moved.
7. This is a board about SpongeBob, so people who don't like him or don't want to talk about him shouldn't waste their time here.
8. Signatures should not exceed 6 lines. Anything longer is rediculous. Pics are welcome in sigs, but should not exceed 500x300 pixels.
9. No stupid posts or posts that are obviously meant to boost someone's post count. Anyone that posts just to increase the post count will be given the permanent name of Buck Private. If the flooding continues after this warning you will be banned. No one word post like YES NO or OK. This is an obvious way to increase a post count. If you are going to post, please contribute meaningful information.
10. Posts don't have to have perfect spelling or grammar, but they should at least be understandable. Typing lIeK dIz or l13k d1$ is verboten. Too many spelling or grammar errors will be pointed out.
11. Do not steal images. Many people work hard on their art.
12. No inappropriate pictures. Squidwardd will decide what is inappropriate but definitely anything X rated will be deleted and you will be banned with no warning.
13. DO NOT change the subject of a thread unless it has TOTALLY gone off topic. People that view your profile won't know what the conversation is really about.
14. Please do not start a thread just for you post count. For example: "Look, I just hit my 100th post." It's great if you are an active contributing member, but this is considered another way to up the post count.
15. Do not direct link to Sarah's/Buzhwa's pictures. She's got lots of nice pics on her site but save them to your own server instead of ripping off her bandwidth.
16. Do not ask to become a Hall Monitor (Moderator) or admin or how becomes one. Squidwardd decides who will be Hall Monitors or admins based on how they post. Notice I said HOW not how much. Read rule #9 again. If you post just to up your post count and think this will make you a Hall Monitor, think again. It will only get you ban. When a Hall Monitor is needed Squidwardd will decide who it will be and ask them through email if they are interested in this.
17. Trouble makers and annoyances are subjet to banning after one warning. Obey the rules...OR ELSE! ;)
