Please keep in mind, that a moderator might make use of his rights to close or even delete threads, if the thread is either nonsense, posted into a wrong section or if its only purpose is to push ones post count.
- Threads, which are about equivalent or similar topics described in one of our existing Off-Topic stickies will be closed or removed. We don't want this section to be a total mess!

Let's get to some minor regulations regarding The Longest E*pvp Thread - a popular communication instrument.
- This thread serves simply for normal conversation, where you have to comply with the general Board Rules as well. The spam regulation is of course relaxed to some extent, but definitely not abolished! Whenever a Moderator is sure about that users are posting without rhyme or reason so that it's impossible to have a normal conversation, then either a Warning or - in case of frequent spamming - an Infraction can be issued.
- The Longest E*pvp Thread is no substitute for Twitter or Facebook and it is not a live chat as well. You don't have to announce whenever you got to go or whether you're back again and you also shouldn't greet everyone, who's joining the conversation.
There are some rules for the Funny Pics thread as well:
- Each posting always has to contain at least one picture. Posts which don't contain any images are deleted and infracted.
- Please do not submit images, that have been posted recently ago. Reposts of the last 5 pages are punished at first with a Warning and an Infraction when violating repeatedly.
- You are only allowed to post once per calendar day (if you are posting a picture f.i. on June 12 at 22:50, you are allowed to post no matter at what time of June 13 again). If you would like to submit some more pictures during that time, please edit your previous post accordingly.
