If you're new here, welcome to the forum!!!
You'll probably find it impossible to start a thread in any of the boards in "Educational Articles" Category EXCEPT for "Articles".
This is because we require that you post any thing you would post in any of the boards in Educational Articles in Articles first, and then wait until one of the staff members move it to the according board.
This keeps out the not so good threads from making their ways into these archives.
=====================================
Don't post about any specific questions like "How do i get this girl to like me?" or "How do i become popular" in ANYWHERE EXCEPT for the Specific Help board. If you do, you'll receive 1 of 3 warnings before a temporary ban.
=====================================
Our educational articles board contains great informative posts that will strengthen your life so much. Read a lot of it before asking any dumb questions that can easily be answered by a copy and paste to a post to these articles.

=====================================
Follow these rules. If you don't you may get banned from this place.
1. Lose the attitude. Respect everyone. EVERYONE.
Don't be a dick to those above you, those below you, and those about the same level as you. If we catch anyone calling each other names, saying someone's pathetic or stupid, and just being straight on mean, we're going to give a warning, then a ban. Simple.
Exceptions: Calling an AFC an AFC is okay. Just don't use it as a serious put down. Also, don't post here with the goal to 'be the alpha' and 'amog others.' It's needy and pointless.
2. Do NOT talk about anything that may shut this place down.
Don't post nude images, don't post porn, don't post TORRENTS, stay away from stuff that are illegal. (Yes, posting porn is illegal to a site that's recommended for people of 'all ages'.)
3. Don't lie of your success.
Be a man. Don't lie. We're here to help, not laugh at you. If you've never kissed, we'll help you. Don't worry.
4. Don't plagiarize. (Obvious)
Don't post articles from PUGs and PUMs and say it's yours. Someone will know and someone will tell. If we find out, you'll get a warning and then a ban.
5. Post in the right category
If it belongs in Online game, post it in Online game, don't post it in General and expect us to move it without giving you a warning.
6. No double posting
We understand you worry deeply about your problem or issue, but be respectful to others and post just once. You CAN however, post two times in a row if the content of your post is different.
Try and be a smart-ass about these rules and I'm banning you myself.
GOVERNMENT
Hierachy of Power
Nomination of Specialists
Only existing specialists may nominate new specialists.
In order to nominate a specialist, you must create a POLL thread with ONLY the Yes or No options.
Once at least 25 people have voted, if majority vote is voted YES, then you must let the person with the position "Position Modifier" know to change the position of the newly elected specialist.

There may only be 3 moderators at a given time. After the first 3 are chosen by the Head Admin, they will be responsible of bringing in a new Moderator if one decides to leave or is inactive for an extended period of time. Head Administrator will revoke mod powers to anyone caught abusing and handing out mod powers so that more than 3 people possess the power at any given time.
Moderators have the power to ban, the power to move, lock and make announcement threads.
Moderators have the power to create, modify, delete new boards.
Moderators MUST REPORT all administrative actions on the "government" board for all eyes to read and can only create, modify, or delete a board with a 3 out of 3 vote and same for a ban. There must be a thread created and proving that all 3 moderators approve of a ban or administrative action in order for it to happen without consequence. Anyone banned without such a thread existing or noticing a change in the forum structure may report it as a guest in "Report Abuses."
Recognize how mods can not DELETE threads, so any threads with accusations against the mods can not be deleted and hidden from the body of the forum.
