The following rules apply to all members of the community.
These rules will be enforced at all times. Repeated failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in action taken which can include temporary or permanent removal from the server, community and/or administration teams.
(1-A) Keep the forums safe for work & free of visually graphic content. NSFW/18+ content should be kept private between consenting individuals.
(1-B) Do not derail a thread with a defined topic. Keep your posts on track. Any posts that aim to pointlessly drag a conversation in a different direction will result in your posts being deleted and a possible thread reply ban. The zingers need to stay in your pocket unless they actively contribute to a conversation, and it falls to the forum moderators' discretion whether posts do or not.
(1-C) Do not spam the forums or discord. Post with intent and purpose.
(1-D) Keep threads in the appropriate forum categories and subforums. Don't post off-topic threads in the wrong forums.
(1-E) Keep forum avatars and signatures appropriate with other content posting rules. Your avatar or signature will be removed or changed should either conflict with this rule, and further infractions will see your ability to set your own avatar and/or signature revoked.
(1-F) Do not shitpost or derail on unban threads, ban requests or PK appeals. Additionally, if you are uninvolved with a situation and do not have any additional information to provide, do not post needless bias or vouches for the person of the subject matter.
(1-G) Do not spam forum ratings. Excessive/targeted over-use of ratings will be met with having your ability to rate posts disabled.
(2-A) Racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia & ableism have no place in our community. Use of slurs or harassment of this caliber will be dealt with.
(2-B) Do not repeatedly target and harass any member. There will always be beef between one person or another. Do not go out of your way to attack them publicly or privately. If you have a problem with another community member and you must engage with them in public, keep it civil and sort out your differences respectfully.
(2-C) Keep discussions civil and objective. Flaming or explosive crashing out will not be tolerated in any form. You can be confrontational if you feel the need is there for it, but keep it clean otherwise.
(2-D) Do not encourage or egg-on poor behavior. Lolcowing impressionable & gullible members into misbehavior will be dealt with.
(2-E) Do not expose or share the personal information of another community member without consent. There will be a zero-tolerance policy for this behavior. All members are entitled to the privacy that the basic anonymity over the internet provides.
(2-F) Do not share explicit content unsolicited to members of the community or coerce others to do so. Moderators and administrators of the community will not interfere with the personal life of its members as long as such matters are kept entirely private and out of the light of the forums, shoutbox, community discord and servers. However, sharing sexual content without consent or pressuring another member of the community into sharing this content is entirely forbidden.
(2-G) Do not share explicit content with minors. This is entirely forbidden. Due to conflicting opinions of what age is considered a minor, we define a minor as being below 18 years of age. Doing this will see you irrevocably banned from the community with zero opportunities to appeal, regardless of whether or not the victim is a member of Taco N Banana itself. This includes any forms of suggestive or erotic roleplay, the forwarding of pornographic content, or engaging in discussion of sexual topics with them. It is your duty to ask if the person you're engaging with is above the age of 18, there is no excuse whatsoever for not exercising this responsibility.
(3-A) Users are allowed one forum account per person, and one person per forum account. Alts will not be tolerated from banned members or existing members. If you are seeking to appeal a forum ban, please contact a member or administrator of the community to appeal for you by proxy.
(3-B) Respect the legal rights of all programs and companies. Do not post links to torrents or pirated copies of programs. Do not do anything within the community that would put you into legal trouble.
(3-C) Do not flame other communities. You are more than happy to talk about other servers and communities in a respectful manner, but everything else at the door, no manner how sour one's experiences were. Blatant advertising will be removed.
