Rules: First Things First (a.k.a. "Why did I get banned?")

1. Anything a Moderator or Administrator says, goes. Arguing will only get you banned.

2. In case of a dispute, see rule #1.

3. Registering for the purpose of Spamming, Harrassing, Insulting, or starting Trouble in any way is a ticket to Bansville. This includes offensive usernames, multiple accounts, etc.

4. Profane language is unacceptable. We have guests and members of all ages. Curse words in thread titles will get you banned.

5. If you advertise or solicit a website, product, services, sales, competitors, or any other forum that is detrimental to TMB.com you'll be warned, and if not removed, you'll be banned. This includes use of private messages to other forum members.

6. If you regularly break the rules, expect to be warned, then banned. We've got modding to do.

Rules: Posting Content (a.k.a. "Why did my post get deleted?")

1. TheModBrothers.com forums are dedicated to computer case modding, and related topics ONLY unless otherwise specified in the thread. Posts that stray off-topic will be deleted, and the user may be notified by PM. This isn't personal, it makes it easier to follow worklogs.

2. The first thing you must do after registering and reading these rules is fill out your user profile. This is so that we can help you find material suppliers, retailers, and also know a little more about you.
The second thing you must do is go to the Hello and Intro section and tell us about your self. If you don't do this, we'll know you didn't read the rules, and you know what that means.

3. We support education. We will not tolerate phone text such as "wat" for what, "U" for you, lack of punctuation, etc etc... Ignoring this rule will be seen as a lack of respect for this forum and its staff.
There is of course the exception for those that English is a second language.

4. Posting ANY obscene pictures, sounds, or videos (even in avatars/sigs) will not be tolerated. You probably won't even be warned.

5. Harsh criticism or flaming of users or their work is not acceptable, unless they are blatantly breaking the rules. If you think their work is bad, make a helpful suggestion. Remember that there is no such thing as a newbie question! We all had to start somewhere.

6. Hotlinking images from here, or somebody else's server is considered rude, unless they're a sponsor. You're welcome to provide a link to the original page instead, or ask for permission.

7. Images should either be resized to 800x600 max, or linked to if they're bigger. This is so the forum's tables work correctly.

8. Don't ask an opinion about your mod if you haven't started it, or posted pictures of it yet. It will be deleted or ignored.

9. Do not post anything describing, discussing, or asking about illegal activities, pirated software, hacking, or anything else that you could get in trouble for.

10. You may post up to 40 pictures per post, but if you abuse this by posting 3-4 times in a row all with 40 pictures, the posts will be deleted. This will crash some people's browsers.
Also include a *56K* warning in the title thread if it contains numerous images.

11. Posts with broken image links will be deleted.

12. No Double Posting You may not post more than once in a row in the same thread unless you're a Mod Brothers Admin or Moderator. You may not re-post identical content from one thread to another thread or subforum. The only time double posting is allowable is when relocating a worklog from another website to the Mod Brothers Forums to abide by our "25 pictures per post" limit.

Rules: Other Stuff (a.k.a. "Why was my sig deleted?")

1. Forum sigs are for telling people about who you are. No outside advertising, animations, questionable content, or other things that break previous rules are allowed.

2. Avatars are to be 100x100 max, no animations please.

3. Sig pictures are to be 400x150 pixels max, no animations please.

4. Text sigs can use any colors, bold, and italics, but not larger/smaller text, and no more than 4 lines, 120 characters total.

5. Custom Profile fields ( cpu/motherboard/memory ) Be serious on this. if you have anything other then hardware specs it will be removed.
