Rule 1: English only (+10%, 1 week)

The forum is a meeting place for people from any nation to talk and have fun. Therefore, to ensure that everybody is able to participate and understand you, please stick to English with proper spelling and grammar.




Rule 2: Think before posting (+10%, 2 weeks)

Spam (posts that contain literally no useful information at all), off-topic discussion, gravedigs (posting in threads that have been inactive for several weeks) or generally senseless posts (posts that are hard or impossible to understand) of any form won't be accepted.
If you want to ask questions, search the Mainsite (http://www.lf-empire.de) or the forums first to check if your enquiry has been answered elsewhere.




Rule 3: Etiquette (+30%, 2 weeks)

Generally, common sense applies here. Do not offend, harass, curse, show disrespect, or be rude towards anyone. Newcomers shall be treated, like anybody else, with respect.

Additionally, sexual or illegal content (such as pirated software, plagiarisms) are not allowed and will immediately be removed.




Rule 4: No multi-accounting (+40%, 1 month)

You may only have one single account on LFE. Bans will be allotted upon disregard.




Rule 5: Follow posting guidelines (+10%, 2 weeks)

• As LFE offers you to select differently colored themes, submitting posts with excessive color formatting is strongly prohibited as it possibly makes it hard to read them in other themes.
  
• If you submit an excerpt from .dat-files, use [code=dc]Your code here[/code] for clear presentation.
  
• Use descriptive titles when posting a thread. “Help” does not tell a whole lot.
  
• Click the [Solved]-button when a thread of yours has been cleared of your problems.
  

Rule 6: Follow profile guidelines (+10%, 2 weeks)

• Please keep your signatures under 150 pixels in size, including text. Refrain from using animated pictures as they can take longer to load on some computers. Using sounds or anything which interferes with the forum layout is forbidden.
  
• Do not upload avatars larger than 100 KB.
  

Rule 7: No backseat moderating (+10%, 1 week)

If you feel that a person has broken one of the above rules, please use the report-button located under each post. You may write the user a personal message (PM) but do not post in the respective thread to inform about the violation.
