UDATES:

Adopted Rules:
1. Do NOT try to by-pass the swear filter
2. When editing a post, you MUST fill out a reason why you did so.
This will show like this post below "Adding New Rules"
3. A designer or tester may ask for you help on testing something
If they ask you to do something, DO IT.
4. Individual Forums may have an extra set of rules. Be sure to read them before posting in it
5. This is important: AGE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ANYTHING. Do not even THINK about trying to weasel out of breaking the rules by saying 'I'm only a child!' or 'I am just 12!' or 'I AM NOT A DOCTOR! I AM ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD!'. We were children too and we had the common sense to read the rules and abide by them. If you don't, that is therefore your own problem.

Discarded Rules:
1. Moderator replacing swearword with "(censored)"
Now Filter Does it automatically
