Please read these rules at least once to get a basic understanding of expected behavior on Pivot People. Claiming to have not known a rule will not be an excuse to avoid punishment.
Do not flame or troll.Do not insult or harass another user, or tempt somebody else into doing so.
Do not link to, post, or upload harmful, hateful, offending, or illegal material.This means no disturbing images, viruses, swastikas, warez, etc.
Excessively pointless or short replies are not allowed.If you're going to bother posting, at least try to give it some content. This also means that you should not post just to increase your post count.
Do not spam.No random, off-topic, unnecessary posts or advertisement outside of your signature.
Don't put extremely large, brightly colored, unreadable, or otherwise eye-searing images or text in your signature, avatar, or posts.It's obnoxious.
Keep it safe for work.Don't post, link to, or upload pornographic, excessively gory, or otherwise inappropriate images or videos.
Note: Swearing is fine.
Do not bump.Don't reply to a thread that has had no activity for 2 weeks or more, unless it is a sticky or a global announcement.
Don't be a backseat/pseudo moderator.If you see a problem, PM a mod about it. They will likely be able to handle the situation better than you.
Try to post in understandable English.Avoid using poor grammar, speaking in foreign languages, and using odd abbreviations as much as possible.
One account per person, and one person per account.Don't register more than one account for yourself, and don't share your account with friends or family. If somebody who uses your internet connection would like to join the site and you already have an account, please get permission from an admin beforehand so we do not assume the new account is a rereg.
Don't multi-post.Avoid posting multiple times in a row unless you are updating a thread. There's an edit button for a reason.
Don't plagiarize.Don't steal somebody else's creation and claim it as your own. Always give credit where credit is due.
Do not abuse the smilies.15
's in a row is flat out annoying. Don't do it.
Currently, Pivot People lacks a formal system of punishment. Every mod will deal with situations their own way. If you believe a mod may be abusing their power, please contact an administrator via PM.
