Rules of the Academy

These rules are to help everyone get along and to ensure that we have a good time here.


1. NO SPAMS; no spams will be allowed here. You will receive up to 3 warnings, if you get another warning on top of the first 3, you will be banned. Time for ban will depend on what type of spam.

2. USELESS POSTS; like spamming, same penalties apply.

3. BEHAVIOR; no cussing, mocking, or any fights will be tolerated here. Do not call members rookie, @#!$, retard, newbie, etc.

4. POSTING 2X OR MORE IN ROW; sometimes it can happen, we understand, but we expect you to go back and delete that post. If you did it intentionally you will be warned. (unless you are posting in the graphics showcase)

5. PLAGIARISM; Will not be tolerated under any circumstances, please give credits due to the owner. If you are found with a copy of anything that was made for or by someone else you will be banned for a period of time. Ban time will depend of type of plagiarism.

6. REPUTATION; Don't go around giving rep to just anyone unless they deserve it, administrators and moderators should give rep to people who have helped in the making of the academy or have helped improve it. Plus members can only increase or decrease their fellow member's rep once per day.

7. BE ACTIVE; If you are inactive for a certain period of time you will get a warning. If you do not respond and stay active you will be kicked of the academy.
