Swearing
Absolutely NO Swearing or using inappropriate language! Bad Language will get you kicked off the Message Board. However, some visitors find new & inventive ways to swear. ANY foul & inappropriate language is removed as soon as we find it, and folks who post bad language will be banned from the site. Freedom of Speech is important, but swearing is not appropriate for our younger viewing audience.
When posting topics or replies
-DO NOT address a specific person or persons. This is why individuals have email addresses and other forms of contact.
-DO NOT blatently advertise websites. This is a board for discussion, not for links. Put it in your signature.
-DO NOT test your signature. Hit the preview button in your control center when changing your signature.
-DO NOT type in all capital letters, this is considered shouting and is usually caught by our caps lock filter.
-DO NOT bash our site or other people's sites. Many people work hard on their respective websites.
-DO NOT post any Word Association or RPG's games. They waste our funds.

Download Requests
Kaibacorp5 Message Board does not allow or support members to download video episodes or ROMs. Do not ask for them. If you must illegally steal copyrighted material, use a search engine, not these forums.
Duel/Battle/Game Requests (Apprentice, IM, etc.)
It should be made clear that this is not, nor has it ever, been allowed. If you want to duel someone online, put your info in your sig. We don't need to clog the forums with such topics.
Flooding
Flooding, posting repeatedly and rapidly, or posting code, or posting ****ographic images or text, alone or in coordination with other users, in an effort to disrupt the normal functioning of our message board will result in a ban.
Bumping
There is no reason to post two or three times in a row. If you bump your topic it will be locked/deleted. Continue to bump topics and you will be banned. Legitimate repsonses to your own topic, if adding new things or making some kind of new post are perfectly fine. The problem we have been having in the forum, is that people will just reply to their own topics for the sole purpose of keeping it on the front page. That is wrong and there's far too many people just posting replies like "bump".
This only really applies to topics you start, you can still post multiple times in other threads. We're just trying to stop repeated posting, one after the other, to keep topics at the top of the list
Any violations of the rules above will be edited, deleted, or locked from future posting and viewing. All topic subjects having nothing to do with the forum they are posted in will either be locked or deleted or most likely transfered to the forum they belong in. Individuals involved in breaking the rules above can be banned from our message board. If your messages are deemed harmful, your account, E-mail address, and IP address will be banned from entering the message board again.
Kaibacorp5 is not responsible for any of the messages posted on the message boards.
We support Free Speech, but we WILL remove any messages deemed inappropriate for our viewing audience. We also have the right to alter the rules as we see fit in any situation. Respect our staff's judgement.
