Please don't promote anymore users to mods or admins; we currently have plenty. If you feel like someone has really, truly proved themselves, let me know and I'll give you permission to do it. The reason for this is that most of our users are underage. School should always be your number one priority before going online, and even though it's fun to chat with your friends here, it's also important to get your homework done and study. Being an admin is a job that takes a lot of time out of your day, especially if you're planning to be here often.

Also, in the rare case that you're bullied/harrassed by an admin or mod, please let me know immediately. I know I may seem cold/unfriendly at first, but if you really get to know me you'll find that I can be helpful and cooperative. ^-^ I have the abilities to ban admins, mods, any users here, and remove/fix posts and among other things. However, I'm mostly lenient and won't ban someone just because they made a simple mistake.

Furthermore, please don't let your siblings on your accounts. This is important because they may do things to get you banned. If your sibling really wants an account, make one for them, or ask me to make one. I can make an account for you depending on the situation.

Finally, here's a little reminder of our rules here.

Please do not spam.

Profanity is not permitted. Words like "stupid" or "dumb" are fine but often frowned upon, however you may only use them in certain instances. For example, you can say "Ugh. I have to go finish this dumb assignment. Be back in a moment," but you can't say "you're stupid" or "you're dumb" as this is considered bullying.

Please don't vandalize posts, although most of them are protected this is still a rule.

No sockpuppeting or badgefarming.

Do not harrass or bully other users. This is probably one of the most important rules here.

Threats are not tolerated. If you tell us that you're a hacker or something silly like that, we'll probably just ban you without warning.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or anyone else! Or message me if you'd like to chat. ^^
