Infractions, Bans, Warnings & Rules

I am going to try to be nice about this but I am only going to post it once. Those who are constantly being rude to other members for things like typos and grammar will be given only one warning/infraction. The excessiveness of this behavior is getting out of hand and its going to stop. This is a place for people to come and have fun, not to be put down by other members. If you don't like our rules then you are always free to leave. If you don't like how people use short cuts in typing then don't read their posts. Again, people will start to be banned if this sort of thing continues.

Also, the constant questioning of the admins decisions or statements on things. You can see above, we make the rules here, if you don't like them you are free to leave.

Thank You,
Holly

If you receive a infraction you will get a PM telling you why you received it. Maximum length of a ban is permanently. Infractions normally expire in 10 days. If you receive 3 before any expire you will be banned for 2 weeks. There really is no minimum. We can make it for whatever we wish.

Listen up boys and girls, I have been getting a lot of PMs asking why post's are not showing up, why avatar's are missing etc. I am also done with answering ridiculous PMs stating that you all don't know what is expected of you and back talking to get infractions removed. WE DO NOT REMOVE THEM. We have started a new infraction system! Now, when you receive an infraction the following things happen...

#1 You lose your avatar
#2 You are put on moderated status (meaning all your posts have to be approved by is)

All of these things will stay in place until your infraction expires. Usually 10 days depending on your offense. I REALLY suggest that you all take the time to memorize a few of our VERY easy rules here and some things you can receive in fractions for. There are no babies on this site so we expect that you can follow them.

#1 Signature Rule Violation - No signature pictures that are larger than 500 x 95, No Links etc

#2 Website Linking - No website posting of any kind. This means no posting pictures that are linked to other sites as well.

#3. Rude to Other Member(s) - Be nice to other members! Simple as that. Respect others opinions even if you don't like them.

#4 Posting Spam

#5 You know what is nice and what isn't!

#6 Inappropriate Language - You guys are not babies, you know what is and is not appropriate.

#7 Posts, Polls or PM's are not G rated - Simple to figure out

#8 Asking for personal information - Posting your OWN first name and age is fine. You are not allowed to post or ask for any other personal information such as schools, location etc.

#9 Posting that you are quitting BTT because you are looking for attention. This is a permanent Ban

#10 Extensive use of foul language - This is a permanent Ban

#11 Threatening someone in posts or pms - This is a permanent Ban

#12 Repeat Violations After Warnings - This is a permanent Ban

#13 Avatars - No pictures of yourself, No inappropriate language, No inappropriate pictures. If you are unsure if something is okay, one of the admins can approve it for you. (cjlhoops, Tinkerbell, Holly)

Even though this is a sticky I want it to show as new due to all the new members. These are very important rules to know as not following them can get you banned. Please take a moment to read them.
