In order to proceed, you must agree with the following rules:
• #1 Anything a Moderator or Administrator says, goes. Arguing will only get you banned.
• #2 In case of a dispute, see rule #1.
• #3 Registering for the purpose of Spamming, Harassing, Advertising, Insulting, or starting Trouble in any way is a ticket to Bansville. This includes offensive usernames, multiple accounts, etc.
• #4 If you advertise for a competitor, other forum, or excessively promote something that is detrimental to www.Fleud.com you'll be banned.
• #5 Do NOT Post anything mentioned below:
1. Violent content, racial intolerance, or advocacy against any individual, group, or organization
2. Pornography, adult, or mature content
3. Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia
4. Excessive profanity
5. Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking on ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites, or reading emails
6. Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages
7. Deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site's search engine ranking, e.g., your site's PageRank
8. Sales or promotion of weapons or ammunition (e.g., firearms, fighting knives, stun guns)
9. Sales or promotion of beer or hard alcohol
10. Sales or promotion of tobacco or tobacco-related products

13. Sales or distribution of term papers or student essays
14. Any other content that is illegal, promotes illegal activity, or infringes on the legal rights of others
Note to rule #5: You won't be able to post links until you have 10 posts. This is simply to prevent spam, and it does help. We're sorry for this, but we can't do it any other way. Just find some threads to reply to, or ask an admin to add a link in your post, but do not spam your way till 10 posts with meaningless 5 words posts.
• #6 Do not spam. To spam is to hijack/steal others thread with something irrelevant. So if the thread is about the How to earn money online, and suddenly someone says something about cookies, then it is spam.
• #7 Do not post more than one time in a row. If you have posted something, and would like to add something you have forgotten, then use the Edit button to add what you forgot.
• #8 Do not bump old threads if unnecessary.
• #9 Do not flame/insult other users of Fleud. You are not allowed to flame/insult by posting in the forum, or sending a Private Message (PM), even if you are above 18 years. If you do flame/insult, we have the right to ban you from the community for lifetime.
• #10 If an administrator/moderator tells you something, then take a second and listen, (read it twice) before responding. Remember that we are the ones in charge.
• #11 The staff has the right to ban you at any time for any reason.
• #12 Think twice before posting. Your question (or anything) may have been asked before, do a search, and if you don't find anything, then feel free to make a new topic.
• #13 Do not tag your threads with your username. If you do so it may result in a warning, or even an infraction.
• #14 Use proper spelling and grammar. Please use a spell-check, if available.
• #15 If you want to upload a file, attach it to the post or even better use a free host similar to rapidshare. If this file contains a harmful file, you'll be banned.
• #16 No Advertising (unless approved by an Administrator). If you do not have permission to advertise, you may be banned. (PM An admin if you want to advertise for your site)
• #17 Do not use huge or offensive avatars or signature pictures! I am aware of the situation. People use huge avatars/signature pictures which lead to overlapping of forum pages. Be reasonable and use decent sizes for your avatars. The max size is 500x200 pixels for signatures and 200x200 for avatars. If you don't obey this rule, your signature/avatar will be removed, and if you add it again, you will receive a warning. Ignoring the warning will lead to permanent ban. Offensive avatars, however, will result in temporary ban.
• #18 Give detailed explanations of your problems! In order to help you out, we need detailed informations of your problems.
• #19 Fleud.com can be shut down at any time and is not willing to perform any Pay-backs.
• #20 Do not ask people to send files to your email by using the forum, use the PM ( Private message ) system.
• #21 Do not make multiple accounts. If one of your accounts is banned and you make a new account, you will be permanently IP banned. If you forgot your password, then use the password recovery instead of making a new account.
• #22 If you do break any rule, then we have the right to close, disable or even ban your account or IP from Fleud forever.
• #23 Using Fleud.com for merchandising your Programs/Products is not allowed. All Threads outside of the Market which contain any attempts of trying to sell something are being closed as soon as possible and result in Infraction Points for the person who tried to sell something.
• #24 Don't steal content from other websites and users without honoring and asking the original author for permission. A good start always is a link back to website where you found the content. Don't claim other people's work as your own. Doing so will result in infractions or a ban.
• #25 Don't steal content from Fleud and post it on other websites, without the authors permission, backlinking, and honoring the original author.
• #26 All posts must be written in English.
