Ensure that your new topics are in the correct forum.
It makes it easier to keep track of topics and saves the moderator team from constantly moving topics

Do not post topics or replies containing:
Flames directed towards other users (locked on sight, possibly with a temporary ban)
Anything not relating to the original subject of the topic (although General Chat is rather flexible)
Any degratory comments based on age, gender, race, ethnicity or nationality (which will be met with a ban)

Do not promote your own site, unless:
It's to show off something cool you've done.
It's a personal site.
It's to help somebody find something they're looking for.

Do not post spam.
Spam includes advertisments, content deemed inappropriate or illegal, and flooding of the boards
Spammers will receive a swift kick in the ass, as well as a lengthy ban.
If you are here to promote your band, then do it in the contacts forum and post ONCE only in the band forums instead of every individual band forum. This is common sense. Dont get yourself banned before people get to know you.

Do not make needless, incessant usage of:
Emoticons
Line breaks or ALL-CAPS.
Nested quotes.
Giant fonts with ugly colours.
Swearing or derogatory terms.

Your private messaging capability may be disabled if abused
A central list of IM, PM and e-mail abusers is kept, so repeat offenders will be banned.

Ensure that your signature:
Remains a reasonable size
Follows all the rules applying to posts themselves.

Ensure that your avatar:
Does not contain annoying animations.
Does not contain explicit nudity or porn

Please make sure you follow these guidelines.
If any moderator asks you to comply with one of these rules, you must comply.
If you argue the rules with a moderator, you'll be warned, and all members of UGS admin will be notified, then a decision will be made
Keep it up, and you'll receive a temporary ban.
