Galaxy GUI Guidelines
As of March 29, 2009

Welcome to Galaxy GUI. In order to keep these forums enjoyable and interesting for all of our members, we ask that you follow these minimal rules. By participating in the Discussions, you are consenting to these rules. Violators may be warned, suspended from posting, or banned from the forums or chats, at the sole discretion of the Galaxy GUI staff. The rules will be generally enforced with a three warning system. The offender will be sent a warning for their 1st and 2nd offense, temporarily banned for the 3rd offense, and permanently banned for continued disruption.

General Rules

Do not post sexually explicit, threatening, flaming or privacy infringing content. All found content will be removed immediately and the member who posted it will risk being banned.

Illegal content/talk about illegal content is strictly prohibited on the forums. All found content will be removed and members risk a ban.

The max signature size is 400px by 150px, anything larger may be removed without notice.

Proxies are not allowed on this forum. If you are visiting through a proxy it makes us assume its for no good reason or that you were banned and are trying to view the forums again. Save yourself trouble as we know every proxy you visit with, we can see.

Multiple accounts are not allowed. If you lost your password click the I forgot my password link when logging in and a new one will be sent to your email. If you would like to change your username, contact an admin and they will do it for you.

Avoid posting in all capital letters. It is not only very unprofessional but it gives the impression of yelling and/or anger.
