I'm copying and pasting these from TCC because I feel they're probably pretty applicable here as well.

Rules -
Any admin may edit these without notice.
1.) During debates, be civil. All debates (and posts) are monitored, and if you are blatantly rude to someone, you will recieve punishment.
2.) Be active. Don't just sign up, post once, and leave.
3.) Treat others with the respect that they deserve (and in some cases, don't deserve).
4.) Don't be obscene, racist, etc. In other words, no bullying.
5.) Don't use "chatspeak" to the extent to which the members can hardly understand you. All "chatspeak" posts will be modified or deleted at the staff's descretion.
6.) Please use proper grammar and punctuation to the best of your ability (use the spell checker function if you need to please). Also, refrain from posting in all caps.
7.) Post on the board your thread is most related to.
8.) Don't spam on boards that are not meant for spamming, especially without the consent of the creator of the thread. This rule will be enforced even more strongly on the writing boards.
9.) Obey Proboards TOS.
10.) Keep all signatures and other images at a reasonable size (meaning don't stretch out the forum).
11.) Do not double post without reasonable cause, which will be judged on a case by case basis by the staff. Learn to modify.
12.) Do not post copywrited material without the permission of the creator and/or provider.
13.) Read the stickied threads. They are stickied for a reason.
14.) Keep serious debates on the Debate Board. It's as easy as requesting a thread about your topic from Denithar or Gil Alexander, so there's no excuse to let a debate anywhere else on the guild last more than two or three posts (which should be deleted after the official thread has been created).
15.) Have fun!
Punishments: Vary depending on severity of misdemeanor (also keep in mind that it is at the descretion of the upper staff as to whom is to recieve punishment - we have our reasons for both reprimanding and letting things slide; it is judged on a case by case basis). Most times you will just get scolded by a staff member and/or get a warning level raised by a multiple of 15. Other times, you may be outright banned (this is probably very unlikely) or at least suspended for a while (without the warning level mess). If you get a warning level of 75 (meaning it was raised up to five times), you will be temporarily suspended (the amount of time just depends, but it will probably be at least a couple of weeks or a month). If you later get a warning level of 100, you will be permanently banned through your current account(s), your e-mail, and your IP. That means if you're suspended, you will only have one free shot before you're banned. At the moment there is no specific way to get a warning level lowered unless an admin sees you exhibiting good behavior for a long period of time and not repeating the offense which got you the warning level raise in the first place.
