SIMOPSIS RULES - UPDATED DECEMBER 2012
The following rules are meant to ensure the safety of our community, and make sure everyone has a great time when they come to Simopsis. :)


Prohibited Actions & Discussions
The following topics cannot be discussed and following actions are not tolerated on Simopsis:
-****, Illegal Downloads or CD Cracks of any sort
-Sexual Content (this is a PG-13 site)
-The posting of any malicious software, uploads or links to websites containing such content
-Asking other members for personal information
-If you are approached for personal information, do not give it out. Staff WILL NOT ask you for this information. Do not give out personal information over the internet.
-Uploading another person's work without permission or credit. Nobody likes having their work stolen, please be mindful of this. We take this rule very seriously.

General Behaviour
Simopsis is a PG-13 site.  We want to create a welcoming environment for everyone on our site. The following rules must be followed. Failure to do so will result in a warning or ban, depending on the severity of the offence:
-Swearing or offensive language (including masked [$^*&])
-Sexual or pornographic content, including links to such content -Any sort of discrimination, including discrimination against sexual orientation, race, gender, religion and nationality.
-Any other sort of offensive content

Your Account
-Your account is to be used by you, and only you.
-You cannot create multiple accounts without the expressed permission from simlink. Failure to follow this rule will result in your alternate and main accounts being suspended temporarily or permanently.
-You cannot post advertisements for content (i.e. spam) with your account. Do not be a spammer. You will be issued a warning and have posting rights removed automatically for violations to this tule.
-Your username must be appropriate and dollow all other site rules. Failure to do so may result in the suspension of your account.
-Do not create a clone while you are banned. Things will work out better for you if you just serve the time of your ban.

General Rules for Your Personal Profile:
-Avatars should be no larger than 150x150 pixels
-You are currently allowed signatures with 2 images, each with a maximum size of 300x50 pixels

General Rules for Posting on Simopsis
-Feel free to format your posts how you choose, but try to keep them readable. Generally the default formatting should be used, the exception being ?creative? posts such as city albums, content showcases, etc.
-Don't bring arguments from other sites to Simopsis. It makes everyone feel awkward.
-Don't bash other sites. We're all part of 1 community. It's okay to say why you don?t like a particular site, but don't say something like "I hate site xyz, their admin is such a jerk!" Other people may be friends with this person, or actually like that site. You may be banned if you take your dis-taste for another site too far.
-Discussions pertaining to real-life events, politics, religion, etc. should only take place in the current events forum. This forum is heavily moderated.
-Please post in the right forum. Don't ask for help in the content showcase area and show off your creations in forum games. Everything runs smoother if you post things to the right spot.
-Simopsis is an English speaking forum. If English is not your first language, that's fine. Any effort will be considered good enough.
-Try to use real English, not n3t sp33!k. A lot of us have no clue what you're typing.
-Post clear topic titles. Don?t have a title like "Hey, this new EP picture is awesome!" when the subject of your topic is "Help! I deleted something by accident and can?t get it back!"

Pictures
-Pictures should be no wider than 800 pixels, but the forum software will automatically resize them. Links to larger pictures is okay and encouraged. Mosaics are also cool. Who doesn't like a mosaic?!
-We'd increase the limit, but the forum theme we are using is narrow and doesn't allow for this. And sadly we can?t edit the template with our current hosting.

Other General Rules
-It is your responsibility to know the rules. "Not knowing" isn't going to fly. Reading the rules is part of the membership agreement, afterall. :)
-Don?t ask for a staff position. If you ask, chances are you won't be considered in the future. Positions are given to trustworthy members who administration feel are suitable for the job.


Thanks for reading the rules, everyone! Please enjoy the community.
