►LOOK AT THE PINNED THREADS. While this page talks about regular forum rules, some places have "special rules" (such as only having one club or team). Usually these "special rules" are pretty short and there's only one or two of them. Please make sure that you take notice of pinned threads, they are very helpful!► Don't spam. Spamming is defined as anything that does not contribute to the thread or the discussion. This forum is NOT a chat room, please do not use it like one. Take the time to think out your post and make sure you're spelling stuff right (or to the best of your ability). Before you post ask yourself "Is what I'm posting contributing to the discussion?". If the answer is NO, then don't make that post. If you find that your wonderful thread/post has been deleted, DO NOT REPOST IT. It was deleted for a reason.► No referral spam. Nobody here is going to give you referral points for free video games, money, or membership. Take your stupid adware ridden links someplace else. Posting them or adding them into your profile is grounds for an immediate ban.► No hacking discussion at all or ever. If you are a known hacker/cheater in Club Penguin you will be Permabanned. If you post links to websites that promote or describe how to hack, you will be Permabanned. If you brag that you hacked yourself items, you will be Permabanned. Hacking and cheating will not be tolerated here, go somewhere else if you want to ruin the fun of the game.► No swearing or cussing in your posts. This goes for abbreviations that have bad words in them as well. There are cleaner ways to get your message across. If you swear or post a bad word, it will trip the word filter and users will be given notices (PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING) to report you for swearing.► Don't double-post. "Double posting" is posting two or more times in a row. If you want to add onto your post, click on the EDIT button () and it will let you add more information into your post. If your computer connection messes up and you somehow post the exact same thing twice, do not worry, just edit out your second post and a Moderator will clean it up. But, if you post after 24 hours and it contributes to the thread, you will not be given an infraction.► No adult material on the forums please. Not only does this include pornography and other offensive "shock pictures" but it also includes talking about explicit things such as drug use and sex. We understand that users here are all at least 13, but we also understand that we may have GUESTS that are underaged users. There is no law against guests 12 and under reading the forums. Assume that what you post will be seen by all ages.► Please do not advertise. Don't make threads about your fantastic website/forum. You can put a link to it in your signature instead or in the "Website" part of your profile.► Don't be rude to other users (or the Staff). Be nice to other posters, if you see someone new, rather than make fun of him/her, why don't you offer to help them out and show them how the forums work? Also, please do not attack the Moderators (or their websites). The Moderators have a hard enough time dealing with all of the activity here on the forums, don't make it worse by making them feel bad. They are people too. We also understand that English is not everyone's first language and that some people naturally have a hard time reading and writing. If you see someone doing their best to be a good poster, we ask that you do not be rude to them.► Be careful about posting in old threads. You can post in any thread you like, but if the thread is really old make sure what you are posting is going to contribute to the discussion, such as a new discovery in the game.► Don't whine and complain about things you do not agree with on the forums. If there is a problem with something, ANYTHING, then you should make a thread in the Forum/Website Support & Ideas forum and we will see if we can fix the problem. If you throw your complaints all over the forums you may be removed from them, be mature about it and we will do our best to help you out.► This forum is not about popularity, it's about making friends and having a good time talking about Club Penguin and other stuff. Please don't make polls about who is cooler or showing off how many posts you have or when you joined. New users can be just as cool as you, give them a chance too. Likewise, do NOT insult users based upon their join date or post count. It is quality over quantity, and if we catch you doing it, then we are going to reset your account to ZERO posts and TODAY as your join date.► Don't post in hard to read colors. We know it's cool to style your posts, but there are some kinds of text that are very hard to read. Posting entirely in colors such as lime, yellow, white, and aliceblue is very abrasive to some people's eyes and you will be asked to stop. This also goes for fancy scripts that let you post in rainbow colors and other shades. Don't do it. You CAN however, post in white if you are revealing a spoiler to a game or movie or something.► Do not post "for" banned users. Banned users are banned for a reason, we do not want them posting here. Posting FOR them is the same thing as letting them have your account.► Threads directed at one person are frowned upon, please use an Instant Messenger or email to contact specific users. However, if you have a question or comment for a specific Moderator you may either email them, or use the Forum/Website Support & Ideas forum if you have a general question that you feel any Moderator could answer.Users caught breaking rules will be given infractions, temporary bans, or permanent bans (Permabans) depending on the severity of the offense.As silly as this production is, some users have claimed that the short film "An Introduction to the Club Penguin Forums" created by RFS is a decent actual "introduction" to the community and some basic rules, even though it is meant to be a silly show. You can watch it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTS-0CXfnKc(25 minutes long including the outtakes reel.)- Avatar & Signature Limits -► Avatars must be 20KB or less and 150 x 150 pixels or less. The forum will accept JPEG, GIF, and PNG images.► Signatures must be 40KB or less and 500 x 100 pixels or less. Also to prevent huge signatures there is a limit of five lines, which is more than enough to put up links to your favorite websites and such. The forum will accept JPEG, GIF, and PNG images. To use your uploaded signature, place "[sigpic][/sigpic]" into your signature.► Do not put anything offensive in your profile. Doing so will get your permission to use avatars and signatures stripped and you will be given the "Naughty Penguin" rank.► If you are having trouble using avatars and signatures, please see this thread. It will PROBABLY answer your question.- Frequently Asked Questions -► "I see somebody breaking these rules! How can I tell a Moderator?": Great question! Reporting bad users on these forums works the same way as reporting bad people in Club Penguin! Underneath each person's username is a familiar Moderator Badge icon (). Clicking this button will let you type in a reason for reporting that post. Please only report a post ONCE, do not spam with reports and do not report people just because you don't like them.► "I have an infraction! What does that mean and how long does it last?": Infractions are given to users who break these rules (but since you're reading them you won't have this problem wink wink). Infractions are permanent and do not go away, five of them will get you permabanned. For more info on Infractions please see this thread.► "Why does it say my post is not long enough?": Posts must be at least 25 characters or longer for the system to let you post. This is to prevent people from posting "lol" and nothing else. If you're actually responding to the thread, then this limit should not be a problem to you.► "What is a Referral? Is it bad?": A "referral" just means you got somebody to join. When you register there is a little place where you can type in the name of the person who got you to join, or REFERRED you to the forums. On some forums you get special stuff for lots of referrals, but on these forums it's just a number and it doesn't do anything.► "What are 'thread tags' and how come my thread does not have one?": Thread tags are little icons that go beside your thread title and "summarize" what your thread is about (for example, a thread about Rockhopper would use the Rockhopper tag). If you did not pick one, then the forum will automatically pick a blank tag. You cannot change your tag, but a Moderator can select one for you if you forget.► "How come I see thread tags that I cannot use?": These are probably tags that are reserved for staff only, have been retired, or are meant for seasonal use. These tags include the blank tag, "Alert", "Poll", "Worst Thread Ever", the emote, "RFS Thread", "derp derp", "HOORAY!", and the Christmas tree.► "I was banned unfairly!/These infractions are bogus!": If you feel that someone on the staff has made poor judgment in giving you a ban or infraction, you may contact that staff member or contact me with the issue or you can appeal your infraction here.► "How can I be a Moderator?": Please do not ask staff members if you can be a Moderator. We are always looking at who is helpful and knows a lot about where they are posting, so in a way we are "always" looking for new Moderators. If we think you'd make a great addition to our team we will contact you, not the other way around.► "I was banned! Now I can never be a Moderator!": People make mistakes. Would you believe it if I told you I've been banned before here? Really? How about TWICE. You can always make a comeback if you learn from mistakes. Anyone can be a good user.► "Why does it say Please Read the Rules under my name? I have read them.": No you haven't, wait, yes you have or else you wouldn't be seeing this. This rank will go away after 25 posts. Just a note, if someone asks you this question, regardless of what they say you MUST tell them that they have not read the rules because the explanation for that rank is right here. In the rules.
