1 - Stay on topic.
2 - Try not to swear unless you really have to. In other cases you're going to use something then use '*'s (e.g. f**k off)
3 - Posts should at least be 3-5 words long, if they're too short and its just spam they will be deleted.
4 - Respect other people's opinions and treat them how you would want to be treated. No blatant insults, its not big, its not clever and it'll just reveal how much of an idiot you are.
5 - NO TROLLING! This means anyone who is after an argument, shut the hell up and leave. Anyone who encounters a troll, just ignore them. Sooner or later they'll be banned so don't give them a reason to talk.
6 - Avatars can only be 100x100 pixels large. The forum will not allow anything larger. But also try and keep your avatars less than 50KB. (Animated avatars are allowed, as long as they're not annoying.)
7 - Signatures can be a maximum of up to 500 pixels in width, 175 pixels in height and 100KB max in combined images overall. Maximum size for .gif files in sigs is 50KB. (And again, no annoying animations.)
8 - Hentai (images that graphically portray sex (i.e. hardcore anime pornography)) goes in the hentai section. This is because it is a section recommended for adults wheres any other part of the forums is meant for all. Its just for convenience. Ecchi or fan service shots (pictures of panties or breasts that do not show nipples) are acceptable anywhere.
9 - AnCo Fame/karma rule: Do not hammer anyone's fame just because you like them, or the other way around. Also you must give a reason why you fame/defame. Getting fame is something one should be proud of, and not to be taken all too lightly. Make sure it is for a good reason! (You need 25 posts to modify karma)
10 - No bitching about threads getting deleted or your post count because of the deleted threads. We usually don't keep dead threads for more than 100 days. This is to keep the database clean and working. (and smelling pine fresh!)
Also, things you should avoid doing to make us mods grumpy. 
- Necro posting (reviving old dead threads, in a really dumb way)
- Quoting the above post (No sense in that) if you want to quote something, make sure it is a quote that isn't just above yours.
- Quoting posts with images without deleting the image tag (especially if they're big, and on the same page.)
- Big moving text. (I.E. no more Size 99 moving text, this means you Kei!) 
- Doubleposting. (Learn to use the modify button)
- Not paying attention to the rules we have listed above. (it just makes us mad and irritable.)
Remember, this is a forum not a battlefield.
If you have any questions, throw Red, Orion, or Shuji a PM.
