These are the rules that apply in the Bleach World section of CB. You may not go against those rules. If you violate these rules, you will be warned and possibly banned. Do NOT try to excuse your misbehavior by saying that you did not see this. You will NOT be excused.These rules will be enforced with all strictness needed. No exceptions.
#1
Remember the human
Remember that all users on the forum are human beings like you. Because of that, before you post, think: would you say it to the person's face? If yes, then you're an idiot. Before you flame someone, think how would you feel in the other person's shoes. REMEMBER THE HUMAN. Respect them. Flaming will result in severe action by moderators and higher ups.
#2
Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life
Unless you're some sort of a criminal in real life, you usually follow laws and rules that apply in your area. If those rules allows being rude to other people, arguing with authority, or other such things, then get yourself a therapist. If they do not, then remember that they STILL APPLY HERE. There is exactly one difference between Club Bleach and real life: the presence of a pc monitor. Otherwise, you must and will follow the basic laws and rules that apply in every civilized area. BE CIVIL OR MEET THE POLICE OF THE FORUM.
#3
Know where you are in cyberspace
This forum has a big set of clear cut RULES. Before you post ANYWHERE on the forums, you must and will read those rules. If you break them, you will be punished whether or not you read them. READ THE RULES.

Make yourself look good online
Remember that we all here can just judge you by how you write. Brush up your writing skills a bit, there are plenty of books and online courses on this that will help you. Microsoft Word or similiar programs are your friends if you don't want to study. Most impostantly DO NOT USE NET SLANG LIKE 'U' or 'R' IN DISCUSSIONS. You may have fun reading them but I don't. You can spam them all you like in the flood sections but not here. Know what you're talking about and make sense. Wrong information or misguided one will make our lives hard. And yours in turn. When you write a long nice pot be sure to ASK YOURSELF IF YOU'RE MAKING SENSE.

Help keep flame wars under control
What is "flame"? "Flaming" is what people do when they express a strongly held opinion without holding back any emotion. It's the kind of message that makes people respond, "Oh come on, tell us how you really feel." Tact is not its objective. Although flaming is not a problem, it does becomeone when it transforms into flame wars, series of angry and senseless posts with nothing inthem beside putting down the other member. Flame wars earn a quick and painful warning and then ban. Flame wars not only insult other people, they also waste their time. Wasting time is NOT ALLOWED.

Share expert knowledge
After all the no-nos, here is a yes. Share your knowlege! Don't be afraid to point out a mistake in another user's post (do it POLITELY), and fix it with correct info from another source. Remember that you must first make sure you followed all the noes before doing this yes.
Lastly, I have some notes.
The Warning Meter which you will see at the bottom of your post, visible only in Blacka Desire skin, serves two purposes. One, it shows how many times we caught you breaking the rules. That's the bad sied. The good side is that it's also a way for us to make sure we don't ban you for an honest mistake. You can make a few honest mistakes and we will point it out for you, warn you, and let it go. If you continue ignoring the rules too many times though, we won't be so kind.
Also, if you did not read this before posting, and you got warned, or even banned, don't start complaining. The rules are SET IN STONE. You DON'T GET TO COMPLAIN.
