General Forum Rules/Etiquette:
--- Forum Rules
Registration to this forum is free! We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below.
Although the administrators and moderators of Teen Beach will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and the owners of Teen Beach will not be held responsible for the content of any message.
By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
The owners of Teen Beach reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason. --- As well as these, there are 'smaller' rules that apply on this forum. These are:
NO double posting: Double posting is the act of posting two messages next to one another in a thread. Usually people post after themselves in order to correct/edit their original message, however you can EDIT your original post by hitting the EDIT button.
NO spamming/off topic remarks: Spam is not only a foul tasting substitute for ham made primarily for rationing in the Second World War, it's ALSO the act of posting complete rubbish. Spamming is generally done to increase a user's post count. There is an OFFICIAL Spam Thread where you are allowed to post spam messages available for elite members,so please spam there and only there. (You are NOT allowed to double post in the Official Spam Thread). Here you can make any topics you want and post as much you want - it does not count towards your post count. Please remember the same forum rules are in effect.
Off topic remarks are basically the same. If you feel like talking about garden shovels, please do not talk about them in a thread dedicated to Elvis. You are more than welcome to create your own thread, as long as it isn't spam. If you simply wish to converse with someone, send them a Private Message.
NO titanic signatures: You are allowed to put images and text in your signature to remind everyone around you of your artistic and poetic prowess. But these should not take up the whole page. The limit for the entirity of the signature is 550 pixels wide by 150 pixels high. If your signature exceeds these values it will be removed.
(PS Signatures ABOUT Titanic are allowed)
To get an image in your signature, go to UserCP > Edit signature, and save an image on paint that is smaller than 550px wide by 150px high. Then upload it to an image host.
So it when you put it in your signauture/post, it will look something like this: [ IMG]www.yoururlhere.com[/ IMG] (Without the spaces), then that will show up as an image!
NO advertising 3rd party forums: What's wrong with the 3rd party? Everything. The whole point of being on a forum is that you are ON that forum. You cannot advertise your own forum on Teen Beach, as you are 'stealing' your target audience from an existing forum. Any links to 3rd party forums will be removed, and the posters will be punished.
Websites that contain forums can be posted, however websites that are clearly mirrors to forums will be removed. Any link you post on Teen Beach can be removed at anytime for any reason.
"Some people have pictures by their name, I want one!": They are called 'avatars', to get an avatar save a picture to paint that is smaller than 100x100px, then go to userCP > Edit avatar and upload the avatar from your computer! Or you could use one of the pre-defined avatars that our wonderful host have made.
"What is Elite Membership and how do I get it?": So, you want to be elite? Well, so you can get ALL the EXTRA features and the glory of a coloured username you better read on!
What is elite? Well, that’s simple. Elite is a special user group in the forum where users can pay to have special features such as:
* Coloured Username You can get a coloured username in a variety of colours including red, blue, green, orange and purple! * Access to secret forum boards All elite members have access to a special forum section where they can chat with other elite's! * Larger Inbox You can now store up to 100 Private Messages in your inbox. And hey, you're going to need the extra space with all the new friends you're going to make! * Special Rank Image All elite members get their own rank image which reads: "Elite"! * Special Forum Rights As an elite member you'll gain the right to move, edit and close your own threads! *More Plus tons more! See this post for the full feature list!
As you can see from the above being elite is a great experience and you can benefit from it today! Not only is it FREE but also it’s also very classy. With all the great features of elite you can really live your life on [TB] to the full!
"How much does it cost?" "How do I get it?": The Elite membership is FREE. We give it to members who have been loyal to TB or who have won special competitions! Check the Announcements forum to see if any Elite contest are up to win Elite!
By subscribing you agree to the following:
- The owners of Habbo Forum reserve the right to remove/edit/alter/restrict access to any or all services at any time without notice or refund.
"So, I have elite, I can open and close threads, what if I open a thread that a Moderator has closed?": If you reverse Moderator actions (I.E. Edit a post back to what it was before a Moderator edited it, or open a thread that a Moderator has closed) your elite status will be terminated.
"Hey, you can't terminate my elite, I won that!" If you take the time to read everything when you're win elite, you will see this notice:
- The owners of Teen Beach reserve the right to remove/edit/alter/restrict access to any or all services at any time without notice or refund.
Meaning [TB] Administrators can terminate your elite for whatever reason they like.
--- "Some people appear to have multi-coloured names, and I haven't been drinking today!": Fear not! These are ELITE members. Elite members are people who won contest and therefore gain extra features. How to become an elite member and a more in depth look at what they get is explained in this FAQ above. ^^^^^
Moderators: Moderators are experienced and 'trusted' users of Teen Beach. Moderators are selected by the forum owners in order to help keep the place running. Moderators are generally the people who will catch those who break the rules and punish them. Moderators can edit comments to remove harmful content.
If you need a simple request (e.g. moving a thread somewhere, editing a poll) feel free to PM a Moderator and they should help you. Moderators are there to help, and are often very lonely people - so feel free to private message them.
"Step aside! I am gonna be a Moderator!": As Moderators have powers that, if used incorrectly, could devastate the forum, they need to be picked carefully. They have to be individuals who have used the forum for a long time and literally know it inside out, and who have a good reputation within the forum as helpful, constructive individuals. A sense of humour can come in handy too.
MODERATORS are generally only picked when there are vacancies. The forum owner (James) will usually make a thread allowing potential Moderators to send in applications. These applications are then reviewed and a new Moderator is picked, as long as they meet the specifications. However sometimes the owners will simply pick people they trust completely and make them Moderators when vacancies arise, they work in mysterious ways.
Being an Elite member may increase your chances of becoming a Moderator, as Elite members have access to limited Moderating tools such as closing their own threads.
Please remember Moderators are not paid, they are VOLUNTEERS.
--- "Holy smokes! I've been banned but I don't know why or for how long!": If you are banned and caught making another username to evade the ban, the ban length will be doubled and the new account will be DELETED.
DO NOT ask to be unbanned. Moderators cannot unban people, and unless there is a very good reason, it will just enrage Moderators further.
ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL BANNED WILL GET AN EXPLANATION FROM A MODERATOR. WE DO NOT GIVE BAN DETAILS TO 'FRIENDS'. Also please do not ask who banned you, as we will not tell you, not that you need to know anyway.
---
"I have found a thread that is breaking the rules! Should I scream at everyone and burn chairs?": No! You should REPORT the thread. REPORTING a thread sends a message to all online Moderators, who will pick up the situation and handle it.
You can report a thread by clicking the report button.
Please do not abuse this feature, only report threads that DO break the rules. In your report include as much information as possible, for example here is a good report: "Henry is posting racist content. He has posted three replies in this thread that are also spam. Thanks"
Here is a BAD report: "YO MODZ. LOL! DIS GUY IZ LIKE TRYIN TO B FUNNI, AN I ZI LIKE NO! LOL/... f/r me plz..."
People abusing the report feature will be punished. Those using it responsibily may get thanked.
---
"I'm bored of my name, can I have a name change?": Yes, yes you can. Just pm James with your new name suggestion and he change it.

Wow ^^^^ Mine is like SHORT.... compared to that.
My members don't seem to mis-behave too much ... my guidelines is more just about using common-sense.
- Quote:
-
Guidelines GlobalPersia is for a multi-cultural society of different nations, under the same guidelines of Cyrus the Great's famous Charter of Human Rights, recognized by the United Nations as the first decree of Human Rights:
"I announce that I will respect the traditions, customs and religions of the nations of my empire and never let any of my governors and subordinates look down on or insult them until I am alive." -Cyrus the Great(539 BCE)
Thus, all religions, traditions, customs and opinions will be respected on these forums. However, any opinions that use "hate-speech" on another's race will not be tolerated.
Members may post their views and opinions no matter how controversial as long as there is respect for others.
Controversial posts will not be deleted, and members will not be banned.
