    By using this forum you agree to follow these rules, and the directions of the moderation team:

    GENERAL RULES
    • A large majority of AKB48 members can be considered underage/minors in many countries. Now, regardless to where you are from, we strictly disallow all inappropriate (you should be able to make your own judgement on what is inappropriate) comments regarding any members younger than 18. I understand that in some countries (including my own) the 'legal' age is 16, but our host in based in the US, so we will obey by their laws regarding this. Also remember that even jokes can misinterpreted, and even a simple misinterpretation could be responsible for getting us shut down.
    • No pornography - This is not an 18+ forum, we allow members of all ages to join. Therefore, we do not allow any form of pornography to be posted.
    • No discriminatory slurs or insults - This should come with your common sense, really. The use of racist, sexist, or discriminatory remarks (including jokes) at any time on the forum will be heavily frowned upon, whether they are meant to intentionally troll the forum or "just as a joke". Considering the feelings of others before you post.
    • Always thumbnail gif animations and images bigger than 575px by 575px, and larger than 500kb - Huge gifs mean huge loading times for members without a broadband connection. Images wider than 575px give us a rather ugly page stretch. If you have posted an image wider than 575px, a moderator will simply remove the tags. Please note that putting images/gifs behind spoiler tags DOES NOT COUNT because your browser will still download the images, whether you look at them or not.
    • Contribute, don't just post - "Cute!" "xD" and "T__T" aren't exactly what we would call contributing to a discussion. If your post is just a single word on an emoticon, then it can be considered an empty post of some sort and even somewhat spammish. If you don't know how to respond in a certain thread, then maybe come back later to it when you've thought of a reply.
    • Any form of plagiarism is strictly disallowed - Plagiarizing another person or company's art or ideas just isn't right, and could get you banned.
    • Please speak English - We understand English isn't all of our members' first language, but we do ask that you try and stick to the language as much as possible. If you add any non-English words to your posts, don't be suprised if you are asked for a translation.
    • Accurately state your topic... - when creating threads in the thread subject line. Topics with no subject, a vague subject (i.e. 'help'), or threads found to be using 'luring' or ambiguous words or phrases will be edited by a staff member.
    • Do not flood or bump - Many instances of spam over a short period of time, also known as 'flooding', will often cause immediate warnings or bans to be issued. The same applies to members who 'bump' their topic for more replies (without adding anything new to the topic).
    • Multiple accounts are strictly forbidden- these can be used to cheat at forum games, bully other users, flood the forums as above, etc. Anyone caught operating multiple accounts will have ALL accounts banned. This includes creating accounts to avoid a temporary ban etc.
    • Anonymous proxy services are forbidden- as these services are designed to hide your identity, they can be used to circumvent bans, use multiple accounts, etc. There is no reasonable reason for them to be used to access S48 and as such if you are caught using them you will be banned.
    • Threads/posts soley for advertisement are forbidden - You can advertise in your signature.
    AVATARS & SIGNATURES
    • Avatars are to be a maximum dimension of 100x200 pixels. Anything bigger will be removed upon discovery.
    • All signatures are to be a maximum dimension of 600x215 pixels, width then height respectively. This means potentially you can have a 200px tall signature and still have room for text no larger than 15px (size=15).
    • Your set (signature AND avatar) must not exceed a total of 300kb.
    Have a question? Run into a problem? Have an idea? Think we could improve on something?
    FEEDBACK AND SUGGEST! Thanks a lot!


    The moderation team has the right to change these rules or act in the best interest of the forum at their own discretion. Please use common sense and show consideration for others when posting on this forum and you'll have no problems.

    Edited this rule. It just makes more sense this way.
