2. Rules (Compact all rules into one topic only)

3. Division announcements (one topic only)

4. Division Suggestions (one topic only)

Topics that may not be pinned are:

1. Squad Topics

2. Games + Spam (This does include Crown Games)

3. Anything not important-/-irrelevant or out dated and unused.

4. Team Topics

======

-Anything that has to do with your squad, such as meeting reminders, looking for someone to help you out, updates, etc. Should be place in a Squad Specific Topic.

-Tourneys may have a topic created, but once that tourney is over. The topic will be closed.

- DO NOT CREATE EXCESS SPAM TOPICS IN YOUR DIVISION SECTIONS JUST TO INCREASE YOUR POSTS COUNTS

- If a topic is unnecessary it will be locked/closed, possibly removed, and there may be disciplinary actions against he/she that posted the topic. If you wish to post three posts in a row or what is known as spamming, please bring it to this perticular section.

Below are the Forum Rules as created by KSI Staff...

Spamming is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited, to: one word posts, repeated messages across many sections, inappropriately-placed topics (I.E. talking about the football game in a division section), and posting over 100 times in one day (unless they are all constructive, non-spam posts, or appropriately-placed spam posts). If you are not sure what is or is not considered spam, talk to a moderator, global moderator or administrator.

  • - Do not disrespect other forum members. Please keep in mind that what you may consider a joke may be seen as offensive by someone else.
  • - Do not use abusive language. This includes, but is not limited, to: racist, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate language.
  • - Do not avoid the autofilter. Certain words are filtered for a reason. Avoiding the autofilter includes replacing letters with similar characters. You may star (*) out the word(s), as long as the entire word is starred. If you so choose, you may leave the ending of the word unstarred (“ingâ€, “edâ€, etc.).
  • - Do not use ban evasion techniques. This includes using proxies or creating another account to circumvent a ban or suspension. If you are banned or suspended from any part of the forums, it is for a reason. Any attempts to circumvent a ban or suspension will result in additional punishment, up to and including an indefinite revoke of forum privileges.
  • - Do not create more than one account on the forums if it's not necessary. A user is allowed to have one active account, and one active account only. A user should only need to create and use a second account if that user is unable to access the first account (the "forgot password" feature and administrative help should be exhausted before this happens).
     



    Shoutbox + Forum Rules
