16. Spamming [S.tupid P.ointless A.nnoying M.essages]
Spam are messages that have little or no meaning that are usually posted to raise post count, due to boredom, or just plain oblivion. Posts with less than three words may be seen as spam. So don't just say, "Thanks!", or "Hi!", or "Lol.", or "Yeah, that's cool.". Say something at least somewhat meaningful with it such as," Thanks for that information, it really helped me!", or "Hi, my name is Crayfish. I'm new to DarkRO!", or "That's funny, I never really saw it that way." Somewhat meaningful is better than no meaning.

22. Resurrecting Old Topics
Any topics that have their last reply two-three weeks ago is old, dead, retired! BUT if you really really really, have new, fresh, absolutely good relevant stuff to say in it, go for the revival! However, DO NOT revive a topic more than one month old! This rule does not apply to stickied topics.
Punishment: 1-10 Days Mute

23. Bumping Topics Multiple Times
Do not bump it. Obviously it means no one is looking at it, they have nothing to say, the topic is dying, so just let the poor topic retire.
Punishment: 1-10 Days Mute

24. ABABAB Talking
If it looks like a chat then it must be a chat. A forum is not for two people to make one topic and constantly talking to each other like an instant messenger. A forum is for a community to come together to discuss about whatever with a variety of people. Obviously, you have made a topic that only interested one other person, so bring it to PM, IM, or get more people.
Punishment: 10 Days to forever mute or suspension

25. Inappropriate Avatar and/or Signatures
Now do I, and other people, have to look at butts, breast spillage, lingerie, overly exposed people, naked people, sexually suggestive pictures, or racist/offensive pictures? Not everyone does, so don't be selfish and think about others!
Punishment: Removal of avatar and/or signature

-Even RCS/BCS Members WILL be punished, they are no exception.
-People with 25 posts or less will serve their mute/suspension time as IP-Ban
