These are the official rules for the Team Binko fan-forum. By posting as a user, you agree to abide by the rules below. If you have questions regarding the rules, feel free to message Admin or email: contact@stevenbinko.com

=====================================
Posts:
Team Binko moderators reserve the right to delete / edit any comments that are found inappropriate (ie crude language, pornographic / nude photos, spam etc...). It is encouraged to express your opinions and thoughts, but not at the expense of offending others. The only thread this is does not apply to is "General", which is not moderated.
Images, audio, & videos posted are not copyrighted to stevenbinko.com unless otherwise stated. Posts may be edited to abide copyright laws (DMCA).
Please do not hotlink other Binko fansites or picture agencies. You may post your own personal pictures, scans, images posted on major news sites, etc. However, you may NOT post pictures that come directly from an agency, such as X17agency, WENN, GettyImages, Wireimage etc.
=====================================
Signatures:
You may only have MAX one sigs + a line of text shoutouts etc in your signature (displays under each of your posts). Keep text to \"normal\" size. Any Youtube video counts as 1 signature (ie 1 picture sig and 1 youtube video is OK).
=====================================
Posts: Bumping / Spamming:
"Bumping" a thread simply means commenting in a topic that is relatively old. When you comment a topic, it bumps the entire thread to the top of the forum. Bumping a thread that is more than FOUR weeks old is prohibited as it causes the forum to get messy, outdated and confusing. Any user bumping a thread will have their IP address recorded - second-time offenders will be banned from viewing the forum.
Spamming is also prohibited. If a user posts non-sense, images/words multiple times in one thread, repeats characters (ie zzzzzzxjsdfiwerew) etc, they will be banned.
Nudity or explicit or threatening language is also not allowed and will result in perma-ban on first offense (excluding the "General" thread).
=====================================
Member conduct:
While we allow various mature topics to be discussed, please keep in mind that there are still visitors under age, so please keep posts within reason. There is no censorship for vulgar words, but please refrain as much as you can.
Do not personally attack other members. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Team Binko does its best to remain a drama free and comfortable atmosphere (sometimes it's inevitable), so if you have any personal problems with another member, please contact them via PM.
=====================================
About dealing with the staff:
The staff are here to make your stay comfortable, and help you out when you need something so please try to be nice and respectful when dealing with any staff member, however if you have any issue with any of the staff members, please avoid making public hateful threads, instead keep it private and PM the mod in question to solve your issues peacefully and if it doesn't work out, PM another one.
=====================================
About reporting:
It is encouraged to report any rule breakers, however please try to not abuse the report button and don't report anything unless it's actually worth reporting (racist, porn/nudity, homophobic and such posts - excluding "General" thread).
We're not robots, and we don't appreciate when members flood our notifications with uncalled for reports.
Rules are subject to change - and will be updated accordingly.
