Rules

1. How big can my signature be?

Please keep the size of any signature to below 10-12Kb & Max Dimensions Approx 70 x 160 or somewhere very near, (Height & Width in Pixels). As larger images really do slow the forums down! Please do not use moving gifs in both avatar & signatures.

2. Can I link to my own Avatar & what are the size limits?

Yes, you can link to a url, for your own avatar, but the avatar, MUST BE no bigger than 15kb in size & a Maximum Dimension of 100 x 100 (Height & Width in Pixels). Any linked avatars, which are above these sizes, will be removed & the user will be warned! Above all, ALL avatars must blend in with the forum colours (transparent) & must look smart, or again they will be removed.

3. What are the posting rules on piracy stuff?

Please do not ask or post links to Serials, Cracks or ANY Warez in any of the forums as your post will be deleted! If you continue to ask in the forums you will be warned, either by myself or the moderators, & finally banned.

4. Am I allowed to swear?

Please keep foul language to a minimum, any excessive un-called for language will be removed and you will receive a warning.

5. What happens if I get into an argument with another member?

A good argument is allowed, but any abuse to another member will not be tolerated. This seems to happen quite a bit and will be stampted out.

6. What if I want to leave here?

As a registered member here, you are free to leave at anytime, however, please do not under any circumstances start encouraging others to join you, especially if you reasons for wanting to leave involve something or someone here!

If something is bothering you, then try approaching a member of staff in the first instance, if you are still unhappy with any outcome, feel free to leave, you are not forced to stay. Adding fuel to any issue is not wise & can only make things worse, defusing any situation is always the best option.

Anyone seen to be fuelling an issue or deliberately having a direct dig at this site will face a warning and a possible ban.

7. Which forum should my post be in?

Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other topics and see where your topic should go. If your topic is placed in the wrong forum, it will be moved by a moderator, you may also face a warning.

8. I would like to post a picture is this ok?

Only post pictures/images if it is really necessary, as images slow the forums down. Pictures/images must be no bigger than about 550 x 453 in dimension.

9. Can I make duplicate threads in different forums?

Please refrain from making duplicate threads, I appreciate that there are several forums, which may cover a topic that you want to start, but please only select the most appropriate forum in which to make your post, as this can become confusing to other users.

10. Can I post or link to adult humour & images?

Please do not post or link to any adult content images or adult humour in the public forums as minors may be viewing!

11. Can I promote another Forum or Website?

Please DO NOT promote or link to any other Forum in an effort to gain members from House Of Bhangra! any such posts will be removed. Please do not link to website's with similar topics to House Of Bhangra without seeking permission from a member of our staff first! or your post will be removed & you may face a ban. These similar topics, would include all the topics covered in our own forums, if you are unsure, please ask one of the moderators for advice, prior to making your post.

12. Can I link to my website within my signature?

13. What do I do if I disagree with a Moderators decision to edit or remove one of my posts?

DO NOT under any circumstances start to flame that Moderator in ANY of the forums! or you will have your warning level increased. Instead, either email or send a private message to Killa $ingh$ with your complaint & it will be looked into & dealt with accordingly. Alternatively, try contacting the Moderator directly in an attempt to resolve any dispute amicably.

14. What actually happens if I am banned?

If you are banned, this could be for a set time period or even permanent. If you share your computer or connection with another member of House Of Bhangra, unfortunately, they will also have a default ban because of your behaviour. This is because we would also ban your IP address.

15. How do I become a Moderator?

In order to be considered as a Moderator, you must have a good history here! in the past, you will have been as helpful as possible & you must have always considered others when making your posts & comments.

The admin, reserves the right to terminate an account without discussion at any time and without the need for explanation.

18. Use of CAPS

Please DONOT use Caps all the time, CAPS can be used in certain situations but using them in every post and topic will result in a warning.

Explanation of Warning Levels

Only you as well as our staff can view your warning level. If normal this will be set to 0 (0-10max) no other members can view these levels.
If you receive a warning, you will be notified either via email or pm, together with an explantion of why you have received your warning. (Usually a breach of the forum rules)
If you receive 10 warnings or more within a 60 day period you will automatically face a 60 day ban, however if your warning level increases by only 1, this again will automatically stay in place for 60 days, it with then revert back to 0 once 60 days has lapsed.

Thank You.
