Global Forums Punishments

~ We can and will edit your avatar/signature if we feel that it is inappropriate. If we have to change this more than once, users will receive a warning. Repeat offenders will be suspended from the boards
Global Forums is NOT a strict forum, however we respect the thoughts and feelings of our members, and will act upon posts/topics/avatars/signatures that we feel could offend. Repeat offenders who have been warned throughout the boards face suspension and/or permanent ban.

Advertising Rules

Global Forums is happy to let it’s members advertise their forums or websites etc… However you have to earn the right to do this. In the past we have had members coming to the boards to advertise, and then left again. We now require members to make 30 posts in the forum, and they will then receive automatic permission to enter our “show-off” forum.

If the management feel that you have disobeyed any rules in the boards, we reserve the right to ban you from that area of the boards without prior notice
