1)No profanity~ keep it PG rated
DO NOT use inappropriate language or images in posts, or discuss inappropriate topics. This also includes discussing inappropriate images in posts, profiles, signatures, or avatars. If you do not know whether or not a topic is “PG rated” please contact staff to ask if it's ok. Light cursing is fine, but if you overuse it then it becomes annoying for people to read and you'll be given a warning.

2) Don't spam or bump topics
S: Stupid
P: Pointless and
A: Annoying
M: Messages

Posts should be typing legibly and in English. To bump a topic means posting in a topic for the purpose of making it appear as having a new post, and at the top of the page. This is not allowed. If you have an update to make to your post, please use the EDIT button to change what you have written. Also, do not post nonsense in topics such as "This should be locked." or "This is a dumb topic." because this is also spam.. If you think a topic should be locked/removed please contact staff.

3) Staff
When chatting with staff please be polite (this includes posting and PMing). Do not whine or insult staff members when they enforce rules. If you have a problem with staff members they should be directed towards Fallen2grace.
Also, do not ask if you can be staff. This annoying and it shows that you are not modest. Staff members are chosen from users who have shown that they are kind, helpful members. Your best chance of being staff is simply to behave yourself, help others and be knowledgeable in what you post.
4) Account usage
You are responsible for all things done with your account. If you are sharing an account with someone else, you are responsible for their actions in addition to your own. Multiple accounts are also banned, as you do not need them, and just generally causes confusion and discord. If your account has been banned, You may NOT make a new one. You have been banned for a reason. If we catch you, We will ban your IP and E-Mail address.

4.1) Age
When you joined the forums you agreed that you were 13 years of age or older. If we find out this is not true, you will be deleted/banned. We do not want little kids on this site. (For safety reasons. And your parents probably don't want you here either.) You may tell people your age, but do so at your own risk.

5) Advertising
All advertisements must be put in the Advertisements forum. Advertisements placed anywhere else will be deleted. You may only post an advertisement once you have acheived the rank of "Newcomer Angel". In addition, posting URLs to other forums and posting message such as "go look at my forum in advertisements" is strictly banned from the shoutbox. Due to bumping abuse in the past, the ability to bump, or even post replies in advertisements have been disabled.

5.1) Affiliation

• Please send all affiliation requests to a staff member via PM. The majority of us do not check our E-mails or IMs often.
• Please only submit sites that have family-friendly content. We reserve our right to deny affiliate requests with sites that have inappropriate materials posted to them.
• Please be patient waiting for us to respond. It takes us time to review the material. We reserve the right not to respond to you if you have blatantly ignored the criteria posted in this section.
• We prefer that your site and/or forum is fairly active. We will not fulfill affiliation requests if your forum does not have at least 60 members total, and a fair share of active members.

6) The Shoutbox
The shoutbox is a form a chat and a privilage, therefore, forum rules apply there.
If something goes wrong and there are no staff members online, we ask that someone take a screenshot and send it to us via private message Also, ANY flaming of other users in the shoutbox is now the easiest way to earn yourself a ban.

7) Signatures and Avatars
Although we do not have strict signature or avatar restrictions, we do ask that they do not stretch the page. If it stretches the page you will be notified via PM and asked to remove or resize it. As for the file size, if a staff member thinks it takes too long to load, or slows down the page, they will notify you via PM and be asked to remove it.

8) Image TheftStealing images will not be tolerated at F2GF. If a person makes a set for Person B, Person C will not be able to use the set unless they have permission from Person B. Images found off of a search engine are fine. Just make sure there is no trademark or any other sign of ownership on the image, otherwise you will be asked to remove it.

9) Roleplaying
Roleplaying has it's own set of rules so please look at the stockies and announcements there. If you want to participate in the Roleplaying forum you must first join the Roleplayers Usergroup. If you aren't accepted after a couple of days, PM a staff member.
