You, the user, are expected to occasionally check the forums rules to check for any revisions so that you do not violate them.
Violation of any of these rules may result in a warning of typically 10%, but the percent is subject to the moderator's discretion. Accumulated warnings or repeated offenses will result in either suspension or a permanent ban.

† = If no field is indicated for the rule, it applies to the following profile fields: About Me Page, Contact Information, Display Name, Location, Member Title, Personal Statement, Profile Comments, and Website.
* = Offensive material is, but not limited to, anything knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, racist, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

Note: Every 30 days after your last warning (Or last warning reduction) your warning level will be reduced by 10%.
