POSTING RULES
Think.
Before posting, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post which is either informative or interesting on any level?" If you can answer "yes" to this, then please post. If you cannot, then refrain from posting. Before replying, please ask yourself: "Does my reply offer any significant advice or help contribute to the conversation in any fashion?" If you can answer "yes" to this, then please reply. If you cannot, then refrain from replying.
Spell Check.
A lazy, error-ridden post reflects badly on the user, and generally won't be taken seriously by the forum at large. You are also expected to be using proper mixed case and punctuation.
Don't post or ask for anything remotely illegal or dubious.
Posts or threads infringing this rule will systematically be deleted. If you have doubts about the conformity of a post, please send a private message to an administrator before submitting it.
Comedy is always welcome, as long as it's actually funny.
Pay the proper respect to admin and mod.
The administration team is here to keep the forums safe and above all, sane. Please, do not harass or intentionally annoy the admin or mod. If you are asked to do something, please do it. If you do not like the mods or the moderation, then feel free to not post here(Jyabura).
DO NOT:
Abuse Emoticons.
Sure, they're cute. We know. But, please don't spoil their effect by over using them in your posts(Califa).
Spam.
Spamming is posting the same thing several times, or posting without any real content. "Bumping" (posting to move a thread up on the forum list) and cross-posting (posting the same thread in several forums) are examples of spam(besides that, the word itself reminds me too much of a certain director we all dislike).
Spam(someone's in-box).
Here at cp9.forumsland.com we have limited room in our inboxes;something I hope Rob will work on solving. Until then, [b]DO NOT send a member repeated messages saying the same or remotely the same thing. This can be done maliciously or, in either case it is frowned upon. In the same respect, do not start a thread to take up personal battles between each other.
If you are being spammed, contact either Rob or myself to handle it.
Moderation
Moderation is never a topic for open discussion. If you have any questions or feedback on moderation it should be addressed to the administrator or moderator of the category via private message.
The Administrator and Moderator of this forum reserve the right to remove any post and/or ban members without warning if they do not meet the above guidelines. If you break a semi-minor infraction, you will likely be quarantined, where you will not be allowed to post for a specified amount of time. If you break the rules again after being put on probation, you will more than likely be permanently banned.
Do not post threads questioning moderation. Such threads will be removed. If you have any questions as to why a thread was locked or removed please contact an administrator or appropriate moderator via private message.
If a topic is locked or removed do not, under any circumstances, re-post the same topic or material.
These forums adhere to the rules of netiquette. For more information on the subject, we encourage you to get acquainted with such standards as RFC 1855(http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.htmll).
Thank you, the Moderator.

I added an ass-load of new emoticons, and, if you'd like Rob and I can add more(I don't know if Rob knows how, but I can sure teach him). I added a Charizard one because I like him, but we have an entire pre-loaded folder of pokemon emoticons, so if you guys have a favorite just ask! We can also download and manually add new smilies. Still, do not abuse the emoticons! 
As for the spamming of in-boxes, I changed the maximum in-put from 50 to 9999, so PM away, while still being conscious of spamming; it still will not be tolerated.
Also, not that it matters to members, but there is now an Admin approval process before being allowed to join the forum.
Thank you, the Moderator.
