[bogdanthehockeyfreak]

This board is here for support and help for those interested in MLN (My Lego Network). So, it is important to keep this board clean for everyone's comfort and these following rules are here to help it.

Note : There may be modifications anytime, so we invite you to re-read it regularly.

- Topic titles : When you post your question or your problem, you should use a title related to your problem/question/post. All Capitals should also be avoided.

- Language on this forum : This is an English forum. Please write in English. SMS (cell phone) style message, L3375P34K (leetspeak) and deliberate mistakes must be avoided. Non-English people, as well as English people, must be able to understand what you write, so put a minimum of care in your English, even if your English is not very good.

- Secret Questions:Secret Question Topics from MLN are not allowed.

- Lost Topics - If you don't find your topic, it may have been moved to a more appropriate place. Take a look at your recent posts, and it will show what location it is at. If you still can't find it, PM a moderator or admin!

Behavior on the forum



- Defamatory, racist, hateful, pornographic, illegal, personal attacks and demeaning content must be avoided on this forum. You must respect the fact that people may have a different opinion than you. If you are in conflict with another member, please use PMs for that, this board is not an arena!

- Please, be patient. It's useless to up your topic every 2 minutes (see the point "Flood and Off-topic"). Every member of this forum has a private life besides MLNTeam, so they can't always respond immediately.

- Nothing illegal. Do not post links to get the badges/invincible avatar/something else on MLN.

- You must respect the moderators and administrators. They all work voluntarily on this forum and they are human, not machines!

- Inappropriate PM - If you received advertising, pornographic content or insults by PM, you must send the whole copy (including the headers) to a moderator by PM. Posting it in a topic is useless and will only cause conflicts between you and the one who sent you the PM.


Avatar, Profile and Signature



- Appropriate Avatars - Avatars must be G rated at all times. Inappropriate, sexually oriented and gore avatars must be avoided. Anyone posting inappropriate avatars will lose the privileged of being able to display one.

-Appropriate Signatures and Links - Signatures and Links must be G rated at all times. Inappropriate signatures or links must be avoided. Signatures and links may be deleted at any time.


-Signature Image Size - 2 Images Max each (728px x 125 px) or 1 Image Max (728px x 250 px)
That is MAX, but if you have a smaller, it is better!



No secret question topics



Please do not make posts of the following topics:

- What is your mother's maiden name?
- What was the name of your first pet?
- What is your favorite book?
- Who was your first boy/girl friend?
