•Making a new account for the purpose of having a different display name is not allowed.
•Any attempt to avoid a moderator's mute or ban will result in a perma ban on the new account and a temporary ban on the old account.
•Each registered member may only use one account, and it must only be used by them. In other words, no sharing forum accounts with another member/unregistered member.
•Do not choose display names that can lead to Staff Impersonations. Such accounts will have their display name changed to "Member#" This punishment is also reserved for inappropriate forum display names.

Moderation Team and User Responsibility, Moderation and Final Notes

•Respect all staff members. If a moderator is found abusing their powers, report it to a Global Moderator. If a moderator gives an invalid warn, the right to prove it wrong is your choice.
