| Rules I've started my new community Talk Firefox. Only problem is, there are no rules.... Will anyone be nice enough to write some for me for I am not very good at these kinds of things.  Many thanks in advance. Four major rules to include though: Do not under any circumstance steal any content without strict permission of our staff. This will result in automatic permanent ban. Do not post pornography period. This will also result in automatic permanent ban. Do not link to any malicious sites. This will result in a year ban Do not post child pornography. We will certainly have the F.B.I. up on your ass. Plus you will earn yourself a server ban. Those are the 4 most important rules. Please add to them. I'd like 2 sections. Something like this: Quote:

Many forum owners don't like that because it can attract spammers. Personally, I think the best way to handle that is by making the signature unavailable unless the post is at least 20 words long (or some bigger number). That usually scares away spammers because it is too much trouble. It also rewards the better posters. | ||||

| Search "single rules page ipb" something should come up in the almighty Google. Also I put swear to your own use, but don't use it against any members/staff. Its there opinion and plus its hard to make them not swear.
