Important Terms and Definitions
Spam: A message and/or topic that is pointless, off-topic, or otherwise lacks content that adds to the discussion. Topics with misleading titles are also considered spam, regardless of the message content.
Double/Multi-Posting: Posting twice or more times in a row without other people's posts in between. If you want to add something, you should use the edit button.
Flooding: Intentionally posting many times in a short period of time with no useful purpose and an intent to disrupt the forums to the extent that it can no longer be considered double posting. Generally, four or more posts in a row is considered flooding.
Flaming: Any posts meant to offend or hurt any other member in a manner which is offensive and/or insulting. Even calling someone a n00b is considered light flaming.
Harassment: Constantly nagging someone with offensive or negative messages in an attempt to make them feel unhappy or annoyed.
Warez: Illegally copied software that is often associated with pirating.
Ripping: Taking someone else's original artwork, such as signatures and avatars, and claiming them as your own. Even if you slightly edit the image, it is still considered ripped.
Scamming: Attempting to trick or persuade somebody in handing over the password to their account.
Impersonation: Replicating someone's profile and/or name in order to appear to be that person. This also pertains to falsely claiming to be a Moderator/Admin of any "Naruto-Arena" project to try and trick the population.
Event Interference: Performing actions with the intent of causing disruption in events. There are several ways you can commit event interference. The ways to commit event interference are: Joining an event without the intent of participating, searching to private battle a tournament participant without being in the tournament, and spamming or flooding in event threads.
Backseat-moderating: Role-play mods. When regular members say things as if they are a moderator or make mod-like decisions or remarks.
This includes warning members as if you are a moderator when you aren't. The real moderators can handle their jobs just fine without fakes running around.
Ban Evading: Accessing the forums while you are banned by using other accounts.
Classified Information: Any information that is meant to be kept secret from members.
Drama: Immature behavior that causes a disruption on the forums and usually causes members to fight among themselves. Please, respect each other and DO NOT CAUSE DRAMA!
Remember: Breaking the rules purposely on an alt account can result in an immediate ban without warning, and it can affect your main account too. Troll accounts and trolling is also not tolerated and is a good way to get banned.
