Terms To Know
Infraction- An infraction is basically a warning. I have it set up so that after so many infractions you receive a ban

Posting- Making a topic or replying to someone elses topic.

Spamming- You may notice some forums require a certain amount of
posts. Right now the most posts a forum will require is 20 posts. If
you make useless topics just saying "Hi", "Thanks", "I'm trying to get
my post count up", or just post one post after another this is spamming.

Forums- The forums are what you are on now. The forums have many sections in it.

Section- A specific section on the forums contain all the topics and posts.
EX: Socom FTB1 Chat, Socom FTB2 Chat ect.

Topics- A topic a person has opened. Like the name of this topic is Rules *Updated As Of July 7th 2008*
Reply- A reply is made to the topic a person has opened. So if someone wanted to reply to a topic they would click the

button. Which this can't be done to this topic as I have disabled it.

Rules
1.) No pornographic material.

2.) No illegal content.

3.) No spamming.

4.) No harassing/flaming (Being disrespectful) any visitors, users,
Mods, Admins, or anyone else that uses the forums. If caught and
depending on the case you could be either given an infraction or be
banned.

5.) No posting in the wrong sections.

6.) No creating a second account, without my permission. (If caught
your second account will be deleted. If you continue doing this you
will be banned.)

7.) If you are banned and you create another
account and you are caught you will be IP Banned for double the amount
of the time you were originally banned for. So if you were banned for 3
days and you make a new account 1 day before your original ban is up.
If you are caught your second account will be deleted and your ban will
start over as an IP ban for 6 days instead of 3.

NOTICE: The reason I don't do
IP bans that often is because I can not set it so that the IP ban is
temporary. So the reason why the IP bans are twice as long is not to
make you wait longer, but because if you are IP banned, it may be a
little longer since I have to remember I banned someone and that it
does not automatically remove the ban once the banning period is up.
Like I said if the person continues to make more accounts and I keep
having to add and remove the person from the banned IP list I may just
completely forget I banned that person if you know what I mean.
(Permanent Ban in case you didn't know what I mean.)

8.) If posting a download link, the link must be a direct download and not require registration of any kind.

9.) No

Advertising anywhere on the forums (Posts,
Shoutbox, Signature, ect.) People seem to be having trouble
understanding what advertising is. Advertising is purposely telling
about a website that you may own or know and then sending a link to it.
Say like I go on a website and go "Hey there's this great website that
has PSP hacks it's www.EliteBioCoders.com
check it out" that's advertising. Even just posting a random link in a
post and not saying ONE word is not only advertising, but spamming
also. I don't mind people being like "Hey I saw this really cool game
on gamespot check it out at www.gamespot.com" or w/e. If you have your
own website though don't advertise just PM me and ask me to be an
affiliate. I'll then add your link on the homepage. Don't risk being
banned. Now if it's like "there's a cool game over here go to [insert
link here] to download it." That's fine as long as the website itself
does not have PSP hacks on it. Since that's what my website is about
and that would be redirecting them to another PSP hacking website which
is advertising." The only links allowed to be posted are
pspdiscussions.com links, file hosting (like megauploads, sendspace,
ect.), myspace, and youtube (Or other video websites like google
videos) links or links required for a tutorial. If the tutorial can
still be used without the links then the links should not be posted. If
the tutorial WILL NOT WORK without the links then you may post them. If
the tutorial requires a link, but the link goes to a website similar to
mine DO NOT POST IT! Other than that there will be NO ADVERTISING.

ADVERTISING- Any links are counted as
advertising. If it is a website it is a link. If it redirects to
another website it is a link. If it goes to another website it is a
link. If a link is posted in a code tag it is still a link.

PEOPLE A LINK IS A LINK NO EXCEPTIONS. DON'T MAKE UP EXCUSES!

Affiliation
The only way to get your link on my website is to be an affiliate. I am
now accepting websites that are similar to mine as an affiliate (Kind
of a we are both good websites friendly type of thing). You will need
to contact me and give me a link to your website for me to look over.
If I approve you will need to put my image and link to my site on your
website. To become an affiliate you MUST meet the following
requirements:

Your website is a real domain, not a free site. You actually paid for your website.
Your website must have 200+ members

If you see anyone advertising please report the ASAP!

Infraction Ban Times

6 Points=1 Day ban
8 Points=3 Day ban
10 Points=5 Day Ban
12 Points=7 Day Ban
14 Points=10 Day Ban
16 Points=14 Day Ban
18 Points=1 Month Ban

Note: Usually we will not always use all the points for
infractions, we may just make it to 10 points before we just ban you.
Sometimes depending on the case we may not use infractions we may just
ban you.

How Many Points Is Each Rule Violation Worth?
You will receive a 1 day ban after 6 infraction points. This below
tells you how many points each type is worth. After 10 days the points
disappear. So say if you received 5 infractions one day and if you were
to get another one you would get a ban, but if you were good for 10
days your 5 infractions would be gone, so if you received another
infraction after those 10 days you would be at 1 instead of having a
ban.

Off Topic- 1 Point
Wrist Slap- 1 Point
Incorrect Section- 2 Points
Signature Rule Violation- 2 Points
Spamming- 2 Points
Posting content already posted- 3 Points
Advertising- 3 Points
Stealing credits for a code- 4 Points
Insulted Member(s)- 6 Points (One day ban, maybe a warning depending on the case.)
Spammed Advertisements- 6 Points (One day ban, depending on the case it could longer!)
Insulted Staff- 8 points (Three day ban, depending on the case it could be longer!)

Banning Periods
Depending on the case we may choose to not use infractions or stop
using them after a user just keeps repeating an offense and result to
banning. If this is the case the EliteBioCoders Staff decides on the
ban time, by the seriousness of the rule violation, how many have been
broke, and how many times each has been broken.

Consequences Of Breaking The Rules

1st offense: Warning and we will usually solve the problem without any infractions or bans given.
2nd offense: Warning will be given.
3rd offense: Infraction given
4th or more offense: Depending on the case you will either be given an infraction or a ban.

About Custom Titles

If you are caught imitating a staff member you WILL BE BANNED!
Banning times will vary on how big the staff member is or how close you
are to the staffs title. If it is your first offense as someone who is
new you will generally be warned, but other members that have been with
us longer should know better by now and will start off with a 2 day ban.

If anyone sees anyone with a title that imitates the following staff
members, but they are not in the legend on the homepage please report
them to m or an admin via PM.

If you imitate any of these names you will be banned.

Staff
Founder
Administrator
Moderator
Global Moderator
GFX
VIP

NOTE: If the title is close to any of these I will have a staff
meeting on if we think it is too close. If it is too close you will be
banned, if it is some what close we will ask you to remove it. Ban
times will start from 2 days and very depending on how high up the list
the imitation goes. We can understand mistakes, but we do not tolerate
imitating staff purposely.

Types Of Posts

Ever wonder what a normal, stickied, and announcement type of post was? Well here is a description.

1.)
Normal- These are posts that are made by Visitors and members.

2.)
Sticky- These are important posts that need be read.
These can only be made by me, Admins, and Mods, but if me, an Admin, or
Mod thinks a Guest or Members post is useful, then they can change it
to stickied. Usually these are something that are related to the topic
of the forum and can help out alot.

3.)
Announcement- These are important posts that need be
read. These can only be made by me, Admins, and Mods, but if me, an
Admin, or Mod thinks the Guest or Members post is detailed news and the
author of the topic has backed up what their topic, thenme, an Admin,
or Mod may change it to an announcement. This is usually NEWS related
to that topic of the forum or title of the post.
