What Is Spam?

Spam: A message and/or topic that is pointless and off-topic.
-Anything that does not answer the question the topic starter asks (for example: "I don't know")
-Topics with misleading titles, regardless of the message content
-Quoting someone without adding anything extra of your own
-Reserved posts not filled within one hour
-A post with ONLY a smiley/smiles
-Posts made in a language outside of its proper section. The main language on the Naruto-Boards is English. All posts and topics made in any other language besides English must go in its corresponding sub-section within the Great Ninja Headquarters section.
-Topic that has no content to be discussed (for example: "Look at my signature", "Come to my chatbox", "I need a friend")
Topic not posted in its designated section will be locked or moved.

What Is Flame?

Flame: Any posts meant to offend or hurt any member in a manner which is offensive and/or insulting.
Light flaming: Harsh criticism and anything offensive, but nothing “major”.
Examples: "That sucks h4rdcor3!" (if talking about a poem, signature, etc.), "noob”, "you are stupid”, "you need to grow up, kiddy”.
Moderate flaming: Any sort of offence/insult that is neither extremely offensive, nor light flame. It’s basically in a ‘middle region.’
Examples: "idiot”, "retard”, "moron”.
Heavy flaming: Anything racist, profane, sexist, or extremely offensive.

What Is Harassment?

Harassment: Constantly annoying someone with offensive or negative messages in an attempt to make them feel unhappy, annoyed, or embarrassed.

What Is Double Posting?

- Posting twice in a row without other people's posts in between.

What Is Multi-Posting?

- Posting 3-5 times in a row without other people's posts in between.
If you want to add something, you should use the edit button. See the “amazing edit button” and "the bumping guide" in this guide.
If you double (multi) posted unintentionally, edit all unnecessary posts to state it was a mistake. Those posts will be deleted and you will not be warned.

What Is Flooding?

- Intentionally posting many times in a short period of time. 6 or more posts in a row, or many multi posts in one topic will automatically be considered as flooding. Flooding can also take place if you create many useless/similar topics, or send many Private Messages to users in a short period of time.
Sexual explicit material: Violations include posting links, images, using images in avatars, signatures, cybering on the forum (including Private Messages), and posting distasteful text-based content. Nudity or inappropriate level of bared skin is not allowed as well.

What Is Scamming?

- An attempt to trick or persuade an individual to hand over the password to their account. Telling someone to change their e-mail is also considered scamming. If you have been scammed, please read this topic.

What Is Impersonation?
- Replicating someone's profile and/or name in order to appear to be that person. This also pertains to falsely claiming to be a Moderator/Admin of any "Naruto-Arena" project to try and trick an individual.

? What Is Ripping?

- Taking Someone's Original Content & Claiming It As Your's, Even If You Slightly Edit It.
This includes:
- Graphics
- Piece(s) of Writing
- Layouts
- Naruto-Arena Clan Name(s)

? What Is Advertising?

- Any Sort Of Link/Statement Which Draws Attention To Other Site(s) Un-Related To Naruto-Arena.
Exception(s):
- Links That Benefit The N-B Community, Like Anime Or GFX Resources, Among Others. It's Your Topic's Section Moderator's Decision To Say If Your Topic Is.
- Advertising In Signatures & Player-Profiles (Except If Said Advertising, Breaks The Rules).

? What Is BackSeat Modding?

- Acting Like A Moderator/Admin
• You CANNOT warn users if they break a rule.
This means you cannot post content such as: "Do not spam”, “This is spamming”, "This topic is locked”, "You are banned”, "You will be warned”, "Topic closed” or ”Posting here will be treated as a spam.”
• You CANNOT act like you have influence on the decision.
This means you cannot post content such as: “reported, I will make sure you will get a ban” or "I'm calling a mod to warn you".
Posting content like: "I hope you will be banned", "I think you will get a warning", "This might be not allowed" is not acting like a moderator, but it is considered spam if there is no other content related to the topic.

? What Is An N-A/N-B Report?

- If you see anyone breaking the rules, use the personal message system to notify a moderator about the incident with a link to the topic. You may also post "this is against the rules" ONLY with a link to the rules AND a statement/quote about which rule has been broken.
Of course you can say "This is spamming" or "This is not allowed" and like when users are asking if a certain behavior is against the rules or not.

? How Can I Report A User Who's Breaking The Rules?

-

? What Is Ban Evading?

- Accessing N-B While You Are Banned, On Any Account (Past, Present Or Borrowed).

? What Is Drama, In N-B Terms ?

- A Post That Intentionaly Creates Fights.
