Well recently since I've been gone and even before I left I have seen that the community here in the 2MOONS forum was invaded by spammers, now for those of you who do not know what spam is or what a spammer heres a little list.

1. Take this test right here to find out if you are or aren't a spammer.

2. Here is the wikipedia definition of spam

3. My definition is someone who loves to break rules and annoy those following them, by posting useless messages or repeated messages which have absolutely no meaning or are things said over and over.

Spammers are not welcome into my forum, and I will use my power even though its restricted to make sure they are stopped. Now I let my fellow mods know that If you do catch someone spamming delete/lock or do w/e you see fit within our guidelines to make sure they are stopped.



1. Read up before asking! There is a help page on our forum. Use the search function before posting. Lurk and get to know the forum before you post. Chances are your question has already been answered.

2. Respect the netiquette! Be nice to each other and respect the moderator. Profanity and insults will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with another member, turn to the respective moderator and if the moderator can't help you, send an email to mmositeforum@hotmail.com.
Violation of this rule will result in deletion of posts and deduction of 5 forum points and the poster will be locked for 48 hours.

3. Do not spam! No advertising. Don't post just to increase your number of posts.
Violation of this rule will result in deletion of posts and reduction of 10 forum points, and the poster will be locked for 24 hours or even more.

4. Keep the focus! Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved, locked or simply be deleted.

5. No illegally obtained copyrighted content! Links to content of a questionable nature, asking for, offering, or asking for help/helping to process such content in any way or form is not tolerated.
Violation of this rule will result in deletion of posts and reduction of 10 forum points.

6. No double posting! Post your message once, to the appropriate forum and nowhere else.
Violation of this rule will result in deletion of posts and reduction of 5 forum points. And the posters will get one day locked.

7. Use a title that describes the content of your post! Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention.
Violation of this rule will result in deletion of posts and reduction of 5 forum points.

8. Keep the size of your signature down! Otherwise, your signature will be deleted.

9. The official language in general forums is English! Do use English to communicate with other members in general forums. Violation of this rule will result in deletion of posts and reduction of 5 forum points.

Along with these rules theres some more that should be applied here which are not enforced as much as they should be.

1. Do not DOUBLE or ++++++(more then double) post. If you have already made a thread please wait till someone answers or use the EDIT button to change your first post to what you really want it to say.

2. Look at the stickies before you post, within many stickies the answers to your questions might already be there and therefore saving yourself time of typing a new post up.

3. Please do yourself and the mods a favor. Before posting use the SEARCH button there is a search feature on the forums use it.

I'm glad to be back, and if anyone has anything to add to this please do so. Keep the forums clean!, and everything will run smoothly.

As long as our stickies DOESNT end up like 9dragons (they fill 3/4 of the first page) ... then i'm fine with that.

The only problem I see is our lack of power. Power to take away points of ban at least .... Well, if you feel like it deserves a sticky, go for it.

Read :P. Rules Shall be abided (If thats a word).

Hmm I think this should be locked too.

is it a profile ban or an ip ban?

This post has been deleted.

I'm gonna put this out, if any of the mods would like to add anything please do so but other then that everyone else can add comments but you must watch out with what you say here. This itself will turn into spam if we don't keep it clean.

@BobKelso999 Glad to hear your not gonna spam but you need to calm down with the language.
