Forum Rules

[Prof. Sky Alton 260]

  To keep The Den a fun and safe environment, we need everyone to keep to some simple rules. All the guidelines in the HOL Code of Conduct and Handbook apply to this forum too. It’s best to read those to make sure you know exactly what’s expected of you.

 

  If you have a problem with another member or see something which you believe is against the rules, please let a staff member know immediately rather than trying to solve it yourself. You can either use the reporting function here on the forum or send us a message.

 

  Here are a few of the most important rules to remember:

1.     Keep everything G-rated. HOL is a community for people of all ages, so everything you post needs to be suitable for younger members too. If you’re not sure if something is suitable, check with a staff member first.

2.      Be polite, respectful and considerate towards everyone.

3.     Don’t spam. This can include (but isn’t limited to) posting off-topic things, one-word replies to discussions and using unnecessary amounts of punctuations/caps.

4.     Don’t share any private information about yourself, such as your real name, school, workplace  or exact location. It’s fine to mention your country or even your region but please don’t include your city/town on your profile or in anything you post.

 

Signature and Avatar Requirements

  It’s possible to express yourself with custom made images, called avatars (a profile picture) and signatures (which appear at the bottom of each of your posts). To make sure the forum doesn’t get too cluttered, we have a few requirements for these. Obviously, whatever you use should be HOL appropriate!

 

  For signatures, you are allowed one image which should be no larger than 250 pixels long by 100 pixels high. You can have up to 4 lines of text but please remember the rules on spam and don’t go too overboard.

 

  Our Avatar feature currently isn’t working due to an issue with the forum software that we haven’t been able to solve as of yet. once we get it back up and running, avatars should be no more than 100 by 100 pixels and no less than 50 by 50 pixels.
