Staying Safe Online

Generally, into today's society, online safety has become quite an issue. It is recommended that you read over the following information pertaining to staying safe online.

• Do not share your full name with any member of the forum.
• Do not share your account information such as password or email address.
• Do not share your physical address or phone number with any member of the forum. The only time this is warranted is for special events such as the Christmas Card Exchange and/or Secret Santa.

• Report any threats of violence, death threats, and suicide to the forum Founder Teg.

Images

While we allow users to post images to the forums, we do ask that your images do not contain extreme violence, anything illegal or inappropriate. Additionally, images of large proportions—images that will stretch the boards—should be posted using the Add Attachment option when creating a post or thread in full reply view.

Avatars

We encourage all of our members to either upload their own avatar or use our forum's built in Default Avatar Creator. If you choose to upload your own avatar, the dimensions should be 150px by 150px. If it is larger, the image will be adjusted upon saving your avatar settings. * NOTE: All image rules apply to avatars.

Signatures

Our forum allows users to provide content in the forum signature after a certain number of posts have been established. The following set of rules apply to signatures.

• Signature images should be no larger than 500px wide and 100px high.
• User's are allowed up to five links in their forum signature. These links should be links to your website, forum, or blog and/or the same of another member. Additionally, you can have links to your social media profiles.
• All links and images in forum signatures must adhere to the ProBoards TOS and our Forum Rules.
• Links in forum signatures can contain bold, italic, underline, and/or colored properties. Do not increase the font size in signature links.

Becoming A Staff Member

At times, our forum staff may need to expand or we may have to replace a staff member who's retired or been let go. During this time, an annoucement will be made letting the members know that specific teams are hiring. You will be given a brief description of the job and will be required to submit an application to the person specified.

If you bug any staff member about become a staff member, your chances of becoming a part of the team will be hindered. We frown upon begging. If this becomes an ongoing problem, you will not be eligible for a staff position on our forums.

When we hire staff, we look at your standing with the forum. How active are you? Do you post quality and productive content? Do you have any staff notes or official warnings? All of those things, and more, are considered upon review of your application.
