As everyone knows with a new mod comes new rules so i am going to break it down real simple. Lately there has been alot of spamming and alot of lazy people who ask a question that has been answered 6 times already rather than take the time and look for it. There has also been alot of flaming going on. so without further delay here are the new rules.
#1. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON Rather than wasting everyones time and asking a question that has already been answered take the time to look though the forums. Focus on the key words your looking for like "Database" or "Pets".
#2 If you do not find what you are looking for by searching then go to the stickied all things guide and look there. You will be surprised with what you can find if you take the time.
#3 DO NOT THREATEN other servers with DDoS Attacks. That is just immature and completely ignorant. It is also an automatic infraction.
#4 NO FLAMING. If you cant say something nice then dont say squat. Its better to be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
#5NO NECROPOSTING(to post in a thread that has been "dead", by being inactive for a relatively long period.) There is no need for it and it causes problems.
#6 Do Not make posts like "[Help]... what the topic says". If you do need help then post with as much detail as you can manage. Not just one or two words, That way people can actually try to help you.
You will get 1 warning then i will start infracting. The garbage that has been going on is coming to an end. Plan and Simple. The rules may be changed or added to as needed.

#7. NO DRAMA If you have an issue with a server take it up with the server in question. Elitepvpers is not here for you to whine, complain, or generally badmouth a server. I figured i didnt have to state this obvious rule but for some reason people like to use the "my post was completely within the rules as posted". Hello this rule is common sense.

#8. DO NOT CREATE SEARCHING FOR SERVER THREADS If you can not take the time to look at the thread that spydude_2000's STICKIED Thread and trying out the servers yourself you can plan to get infracted. That thread was made for a reason and it is updated quite often.

#9. No advertising of any type unless it has a linkback to the forums. This rule is already stated on the actual board rules but since some people love to claim "its not in the rules" Now its there in plain sight. If you cant see it now or you choose to ignore it. The conaquences that result are your own fault.

If any mod changes your post for any reason (such as putting spoilers in your thread because you have 20+ pictures) it is done for a reason. The first time you change it back I will just redo it and leave you a verbal warning and put the spoilers back in. If you do it again i will infract you and delete the thread. Use the [spoiler] [/ spoiler] tags people. they are ment to prevent people from having to scroll forever and a day just to get to the bottom of a post. This is your only warning about it there are no other warnings
Consider this your only warning about rule #7. There will be no other warnings
