- General disclaimer The site does not own and cannot be held responsible for statements made by members on the forum. This site is offered as-is to the user. Any statements made on the board may be altered or removed at the discretion of Metal Man. Furthermore all users are expected to have read, understood, and agreed to this FAQ before posting. I, Metal Man, do not sell or distribute member information to any third party. If you have questions about any information contained in this FAQ, please send a private message with your question Metal Man before posting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Why should I register an account on the board? By registering an user account, you will be able to post on the board as well as use several features only accessable through registering, such as the ability to mark forums as read and private messaging. Unregistered users have guest access to the board, meaning they can view threads but cannot reply to them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What are the rules? There's only three rules, but they're pretty broad. In simple... 1. Metal Man has final say on everything. 2. Respect all users, including yourself and other people. 3. Excess profanity, vulgarity, illegal stuff, blatant idiocy, etc is not tolerated. At all. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What happens if I violate these rules? Violate these rules, and Metal Man will deal with you as he wishes. Depending upon the nature of the offense, demotion, banning, or outright deletion are all valid punishments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Are cookies used for this board? Yes, it uses cookies to store your login information. You can still use this board with cookies disabled, but you'll have to enter your username and password every time it's asked, and some features may not be available. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Can HTML be used? Yes, it can be used in posts, private messages, nearly everywhere except in things such as thread titles, usernames, etc. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Is there some sort of replacement code for HTML? Yes, but it's a bit limited. Here's what can be used: (most are case sensitive) [b]Bold text[/b] [i]Italic text[/i] [u]Underlined text[/u] [s] [img]URL of image to display[/img] [url]URL of site or page to link to[/url] And several color codes such as [ (put [/color] to revert to normal color) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Are there any rules for post layouts? There are a few simple rules which all users should follow in their layouts: - No flashy backgrounds which make text difficult to read. This doesn't mean you can't have a nice background, but at least make sure that the area where the text is doesn't make a post hard to read. - No huge pictures or excessive amounts of GIFs. Huge pictures just make threads longer to load and having too many GIFs can slow down some computers. - No broken tables. If you're working with tables and feel that you might be messing up, check your post in your user profile. If the profile seems to be messed up, then the layout is as well. Broken tables can wreck havoc with threads. Penalties for stupid and/or annoying layouts can be severe. Take them down if they annoy Metal Man--otherwise, you may be in for it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What is Level and EXP, and how do I get more EXP? EXP is calculated from your amount of posts and how long it's been since you registered. Level is calculated from EXP. You gain increasing amounts of EXP by posting, and by being registered longer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- How do I add my stats to my posts? In a way similar to HTML and the markup replacements (described above), just put those where you want the numbers to be:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What are the "syndromes" and how do I get them? The syndromes are based on how many posts you have made in the last 24 hours. The amount of posts required for each syndrome is as follows:
Don't forget that spamming in an attempt to gain these syndromes will result in a ban. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What is the ACS? The ACS stands for Acmlm Championship Series. It's related to how much you post. If it wasn't clear enough before, do not spam to 'win' this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What are the user rankings? It's all listed on the Ranks page, which also lists all moderators and administrators on this board. Ranks nobody is on and which you didn't reach aren't listed (to keep some suspense), unless you're a full moderator (moderating all the forums) or administrator on this board. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- How can I get a custom rank? You can get one under one of those conditions: - Metal Man knows you - Metal Man knows you - Metal Man also knows you There may be a few rare exceptions, but asking for a custom title without knowing Metal Man is a fool's errand. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- How can I become a moderator or administrator? Metal Man promotes people as he wishes, if at all. Don't pester him about this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What are announcements? Announcements are general messages posted by administrators only. Everybody can view them, but not reply to them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- How can I change my username? Metal Man can change your name. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What do the username colors mean? They vary depending on the gender and power level:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- What are all the smilies? Here's the smilies that can be used, and what you must type to use them:  -- :) -- ;) -- :D -- :LOL: -- 8-) -- :( -- >: -- >_< -- :P -- :S -- O_O -- o_O -- ^_^ -- ^^;;; -- ~:o -- x_x -- _¬ -- :[ -- o_o -- ;_; -- @_@ -- -_- -- >_> -- <_<
