Forum Rules
Registration to this forum is free!
We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below.
If you are not sure of a rule or have any questions about the rules or forum in general then please ask one of the staff.

The Rules of WrestlingSmarks Forums
Note that these rules are flexible in our favour. Do not try to find ways to get around these rules because you will still receive warnings/infractions for your efforts if we the staff believe you are breaking the rules. Staff members decisions are final unless repealed by a higher ranking staff member.

1) Spam: There isn't a specific number of sentences that you must put into a post. However, any post considered to be spurious spam will be deleted and the poster sanctioned. Also please refrain from double posting or making duplicate threads. Do a quick search of the forum for similar threads before creating one.

2) Advertising: Posting links to sites or contacting people via PM advertising your web site or goods or services is not allowed. Advertising in your signature is also not allowed

3) Flaming: Insulting/Abusing/Attacking someone is not allowed here. Keep it civil on the forum and be respectful of the other members.

4) Signatures/Avatars: Keep it reasonable and keep it clean. Here are the sizes for the 2 main usergroups

Regular Members
Profile Pictures: 200X200 (500000 bytes)
AVATARS 150X250 (500000 bytes)
Signature Limits: 1 Image Max In Signature 500X500 in size (1000000 bytes)

VIP Members
Profile Picture: 500X500 (1000000 bytes)
Avatars: 250X250 (1500000 bytes)
Signature Limits: 500X500 2 Image Max In Signature (3000000 bytes)

5) Offensive Material: No nudity is allowed on WrestlingSmarks Forums. No offensive material whatsoever is allowed and neither are offensive posts about someone’s race, sex, religion, age etc. Keep the swearing to a minimum aswell. Keep it clean around the forums.

6) Becoming a Staff Member: If you aren’t a staff member don’t ask to be one and don’t act like one around the forums. We will contact members whom we want to join the staff not the other way around.

7) Spoiler Rules: We have in place a 24 Hour Grace period for spoilers, so after a live event of any of the promotions please label your threads with a **Spoiler** tag and try not to give away a major result in the thread title. This is included into the Chatbox, no spoilers in there either. If you want to discuss it you can either post a thread in the correct discussion section with Spoilers written in the title or if you just want to talk about it with VIPs set up a spoiler thread in the VIP lounge.

8) Punishments:
We aren't going to throw out bans, but you will be warned if you break a rule, followed by a infraction if it continues, and in cases where you constintly breaking rules a temporary or permanent ban may be handed out.
The staff reserve the right to remove or alter your posts and threads at any time for any reason. We also reserve the right to ban, whether permanently or temporarily, at any time for any reason.

These rules are subject to change without notice. Please check this page on a regular basis for changes, additions and deletions.

Staff will be keeping an eye on these plus the other rules and members will receive warnings and infractions if they break the rules.

Bumping just in case there was any misunderstanding about there being rules or what they were.

I will also probably be posting an updated 2019-2020 rules post sometime soon.

I don't mind signatures since members can turn them off, but can we wait 24 hours before changing our avatars to recent results?

There will be no discord link sharing allowed on the forum.

Anymore Discord discussion in the chat box is also discouraged for the foreseeable future as well, please.

Let’s get back to talking about WS smarkbox topics and stuff.

It's really sad that I have to state this publicly, but after two bans already I guess I have to.

Sharing someone's picture without their consent will be an immediate ban. Length of which depends on prior behavior.

Do not bait people into saying things you know will get them in trouble or start a fight that will lead them into getting in trouble.

Do not try to bait someone with the intention of provoking a reaction that leads to a fight. Especially if it's not related to the topic going on.

Do not intentionally bring fights across multiple threads and chats. Keep it where it started and if you're told to stop, don't restart it in the chat.

If you have an opinion about policy that concerns LGBT issues, keep it to the political thread and keep it respectful.

Under no circumstances are you to make sweeping generalizations about a group of people nor make comparisons to aliens or being inhuman.

You may not break rule even under the guise of satire.

Do not under any circumstances repeat something you were warned not to say again by simply changing the marginalized group.

Just a friendly reminder to read the rules or you won’t be long for this world.

You are not allowed to make veiled generalizations about marginalized groups under the guise you were really talking about something innocent because you used a ”clever” double entendre.

You are allowed to discuss your opinions on gay marriage and trans sports issues etc in the politics thread, but fair warning you’ll most likely be challenged on your positions. You are not however allowed to talk about minorities and other groups in disparaging ways on your profile posts.

You're not going to get banned for having an "opinion." You will be warned however for making incendiary generalizations about marginalized groups.

You can say you don't want to watch NWA because a drag queen was on it and others are allowed to roast you for it. No warnings applied there.

You are NOT allowed to say Trix are for trans people and play it off like it was about the cereal commercial. Warnings will be applied here, though.

I hope that clears things up.

To reiterate what our stance on gay rights and marriage is from our announcement to keep it all consolidated in the rules thread for easy access:

Under no circumstances is it acceptable to use dehumanizing language when referring to any group of people not limited to sexual orientation.

Do not compare people to inanimate objects. Do not compare healthy sexual attraction to people to wanting to marry an inanimate object or having sex with an animal. Anything designed to other people.

There will be no tolerance for calling sexual orientation a fetish or implying they’re comparable.

Action has already been taken on someone that didn’t heed their first warning. Someone that gave us a great headache. Please do not test our patience.
