Although the administrators and moderators of SibleyOnline Forums will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of SibleyOnline Forums, nor SMF will be held responsible for the content of any message.
By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
The owners of SibleyOnline Forums reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
These are the rules at SibleyOnline :
- Users will be given warnings when they have broken minor rules.
- Users will be temporary banned if minor rules are constantly broken or when more serious rules have been broken.
- Multiple temporary bans will lead to a permanent ban.
Users can also be banned immediately for breaking the vital rules.
Users will receive 1 warning for the following
- Multiple Posts: posting numerous times in a row
- Bumping: posting just to get a topic at the top of a forum, usually with just the word “bump”
- Gravedigging: Is now allowed. This is to prevent too many infractions from being distributed and easier on the mods. Also helps expand the sites conversation.
Scripter Clause: The above three rules do NOT apply in the SCAR (working scripts) section for script authors and coders ONLY.
- Spamming (in general): posting only a few words in a topic such as “lol ok” or something with little to no relevance to the topic; creating topic deemed useless by staff or one solely for the purpose of spamming
- Caps: posting in all caps
- Backseat Modding (mild): posting things like “lock this thread” - basically acting like a mod
You given 1 infraction point for:
- Multiple warnings
- Misleading Title: making a thread’s title different from its content as to attract attention (i.e. title of “FREE ACCOUNT” with content about some random question, “READ THIS,” etc...)
- Flooding (mild): posting in many threads in a forum in a row
- Posting Multiple Topics: creating many threads about the same thing

The above rules and associated punishments only apply when the staff can reasonably judge that a user does not deserve some other, perhaps more severe form of punishment for any unconscionable act they might make on the forums.
These rules have been modified to SibleyOnline goals. Some rules are used from sythe as a temporary establishment of control.
Please Note: SibleyOnline IS NOT responsible for any of the hacks, programs, utilities posted by users. We do not create or fix hacks. This is a discussion forum and members are expressing their freedom of speech. Any hacks uploaded onto our servers will be removed as soon as discovered or reported
