This is a board very similar to GOAYB on proboards it has the same purpose and follows similar but not identical rules,we have less strict rules so we don't make anyone feel uneasy about rating boards or getting a board rated,however having said that the staff will do their best to back the rules we do have as we don't not want this board to become spam filled!
Also you must have at least 20 posts to get your board rated we do not want member-hungry people
coming to get members here so this is a little safety procedure.
Violation of these rules will normally apply with a warning/banning or deletion.
You can have I'll rate your board topics these are OK in my opinion,it means someone is taking their time to look at your board and to give you their opinion and it also makes sure you'll get at least one rate,the only problem is you'll only get one rate,its best to start your own thread as your more likely to get more rates.
Multiple threads: We allow these...........if you have more than one forum!
some people seem to get the idea that they have to have all of their forums in one thread! 
i don't think that makes your forum look better it personally annoys me,you can have more than one thread if you have different forums basically one thread per forum.
Note:if you wish you can put all your forums in one thread I'm not saying you cant.
what you can't do:
Join for joins:Why you would want inactive members on your forum is not apparent to me so i don't want useless threads on my forum.
Topics telling us to join your wonderful forum:I'm sure your forums wonderful but this board is to get your board rated not to get your forum members,if your forum is really that wonderful we can register anyway just because i wont let you say "join my forum" doesn't mean people that like it cant,if someone will like your forum they only need to see it not to be told to join it also please don't ask for staff its just a good way to get inactive members.
Make a forum with me threads:There isn't much to say about this it doesn't make anyones board better it just wastes space on the page,keep these kind of conversations for msn messenger or something.
This is not GOAYB we do-not have hundreds of applicants every day so please keep to one thread don't make loads and don't bump your posts its pointless here your still going to get noticed even if your on the second page.
If you are rating someones board try not to be offensive and also try not to give "out of ten" ratings,ratings where you tell people to get grafix or codes unless you specify which graphic or code and try to make sure that everyone gets a rate,if you see a thread that has 9 rates and one that has 0 then rate the one with 0 rates its unfair on the member with no rates.
One more thing to all of you Sending pm's to other members asking them to join your board is no longer allowed in any form because people have abused this rule which is what i had hoped would not happen, i had hoped this could be done sensibly but it wasn't so you may not send any sort of pm to any member asking them to join your board or asking for rates or else you will be warned/banned.
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread.
