Welcome to The Club Penguin Exclusives Forums! You must follow these rules at all times or there will be consequences. It looks like a lot, but a lot of it is COMMON SENSE. At least read the bold statements
before you proceed to the forums.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

English Only
The moderators/administrators and other users must be able to read
and comprehend your posts. To ensure this, we ask that everyone posts
in English. All mods/admins are able to read and write in English. The only exception are the languages to your friends in PM. This applies to PMs to mods/admins,
arcade comments, gallery comments, Userpages, user profiles, posts, and
threads titles.


[b]Flaming[/b]
Any posts that are hateful or mean in nature will be removed
immediately. We do not tolerate attacks based on race, religion,
gender, s**ual orientation, or political affiliation or any posts
indicating grieving other users on the forums or in game by
purposefully causing them to go sad because of their laugh limit, gag
limit, age, etc.. No personal threats or harassment. This includes
posting pictures representing an attack. Debate opinions and not the
people behind them. This also applies to all forums, threads, posts,
private messages, userpages, profiles, avatars and signatures.


Hacking and Hacker Discussions
Any discussion of hackers, except to say that you've been hacked,
will be removed from the forums. This includes admission of hacking,
accusations of others being hackers,
sharing of hacking programs (3rd party programs), and altering original
game files with the intent to alter original game playabilities.
Inherent bugs and/or glitches of games will still be allowed to be
discussed. Most programs these days have bugs or defects and it is
understandable to discuss these types of gaming experiences. There's a
large difference between hacking a game and exploiting a glitch
inherent in a game. Anyone caught hacking a game will find their
account suspended due to breaking the policies of the game provider.
Doing a glitch can hardly be the fault of the player as these will
occur accidental to many players or should be fixed by the game
provider.

This also applies to all forums, threads, posts, private messages, userpages, profiles, avatars and signatures.


Impersonation Of Other Users
Creating accounts on the site with similar names of existing users
in order to cause chaos or misconceptions towards that user is not
allowed and it can lead to permanent suspension from the site.
Anyone impersonating or acting like they are an administrator
or moderator is not allowed and can result in disciplinary action. If a
user finds a thread or post that is inappropriate please report the
thread or post and let the administration and moderating staff handle
the situation.


Multiple/Sharing Accounts
Members are only allowed one username per person in a
household and are strongly discouraged from sharing accounts with other
family members and / or friends. If a guideline violation
is severe enough, it may become necessary to ban/delete one or all of
the usernames on the same computer, depending on the severity. You are
responsible for anyone and everyone who uses your account and/or
accesses other accounts from your computer.
The actions of one person could easily directly impact all known shared message board accounts.
NOTE: This does not apply to Admins/Moderators, we
sometimes need multiple accounts to test technical issues that come up
from various user levels and to do that properly it requires us to
create "test" accounts.

Name Changes
One name change each year will be allowed. To use your name change,
a valid reason for requesting a change will be required. "I want to,"
or any variation thereof, will not be a considered a valid reason. To
request a name change, please PM an admin with your new name and a
reason for the requested change.

If you have been suspended for a period of more than five days, you will not be able to receive a name change.


Personal Information
This site has children present therefore asking for or volunteering
personal information is not allowed. Personal Info consists of Real
Life Names, Age, Gender, Location, Email Address exchanges, Instant
messenger ID's, D-name, Password/Account Information, School
Information and other similar details. This also applies to posting
personal pictures of the users, their schools, homes (that include their exact locations), etc.

Signature Lengths
Users should be considerate of other users on the forums. Excessive
signatures cause the flow of the threads to be disrupted. Signature
lengths over 10 text lines will be removed from user's profiles. This
also applies to graphics that are larger than 500 x 200 pixels in
length and width size. It doesn't matter how big the font size is as
long as the total dimensions taken up by the signature text &
graphic does not exceed 500 x 200 in pixel length and width.
So the total dimensions of the signature should not exceed this size:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Also, the file size of the signature should not exceed 200KB. We impose this limit as a courtesy for those on dial-up.


Spamming
"Spam" refers to posting identical and/or irrelevant messages to one
thread or many different threads that have nothing to do with the
intended subject, or posts that disrupt a thread or fill the message
board with clutter. Mass PMing people you don't know or who haven't
invited you to PM them, posting for the sole purpose of boosting your
post count, threads with the sole purpose of posting "what I did
today..." (this is a forum, not a blog or chatroom), excessive bumping
of threads (you are allowed one bump per thread twenty-four (24) hours after the last post created in the thread!),
one or two letter replies (i.e. ok, LOL, Yes, agreed, nods), and
excessive use of smileys as a response are all considered "spam".
This applies to all forums, threads, posts, private messages, userpages, profiles, avatars and signatures.


Trolling
Intentionally posting false arguments, flames or personal attacks
for no other purpose than to incite a negative reaction, annoy others
or disrupt a discussion is also prohibited. These perpetrators are
known as "trolls". Anyone impersonating or acting like they are an administrator
or moderator is not allowed and can result in disciplinary action. If a
user finds a thread or post that is inappropriate please report the
thread or post and let the administration and moderating staff handle
the situation.
This applies to all forums, threads, posts, private
messages, userpages, profiles, avatars and signatures with the intent
to harass the members or staff of this site.
Violators of this policy will result in suspension of their account.


Forum Infractions
Forum infractions may result in immediate actions being taken that
can range from written warnings, temporary suspension or permanent
suspension from this site, depending on the severity and frequency of
the offense:
Swearing or Cussing - profane or obscene language, usually of surprise or anger.
R or X-rated material (picture or website) - Pornographic material deemed inappropriate for children and most adults.
Violence - Violence is any attitude, word, or action that
threatens or destroys the human dignity of a human person or groups of
persons.
The Moderators here have a monumental task watching these forums. Due to the vast number of
members and the incredible number of posts per day, we sometimes do not
manage to immediately catch all rule violations which is why we do ask
for your help in catching things that might slip by.

Reporting A Thread Or Post To A Moderator
If you see anything questionable or another member is getting out of
hand, click on the yellow triangle on the upper right corner of the
post in question. Please include a brief message stating who the person is &
what they did specifically. Do not use this feature for any other
reason and do not take matters into your own hands by replying, PMing,
or scolding a person. Please click the button to report a post only
once. An email is sent to all Moderators/Administrators for that forum and it will be dealt with as soon as they see the email.


Off-Topic/Nonsense Posts
If your post/thread doesn't make sense or is filled with gibberish,
these posts will be removed. While we expect that some topics will
stray a bit, if it completely hijacks the thread and/or disrupts the
flow, those posts will either be removed or split into its own thread.

Double/Triple Posting
Double posting" is posting two or more times in a row. If you want to add onto your post, click on the EDIT button
and it will let you add more information into your post. If your
computer connection messes up and you somehow post the exact same thing
twice, do not worry, just edit out your second post and a Moderator
will clean it up. But, if you post after 24 hours and it contributes to
the thread, you will not be given an infraction.

Users caught breaking rules will be given
infractions, temporary bans, or permanent bans (Permabans) depending on
the severity of the offense.

Please Read these again, as I have updated the rules.
