We appreciate that you have chosen InvisionFree and ZetaBoards as your forum hosting provider. We want to give every customer the best experience possible and thus have set in place some rules and guidelines that will help you and others enjoy your stay. These rules apply across the entire board, in posts, PMs, profiles, IRC, blogs, signatures, etc.
Etiquette & Posting Guidelines
- The following content is unacceptable and will be removed on sight, with the offending user warned as appropriate:
- Profanity
- Racial, ethnic, gender insults, or discriminatory material of any kind
- Rude or inflammatory behavior toward members and staff.
- Posting private conversations including, but not limited to: personal messages, instant message conversations or e-mail conversations.
- Short, useless posts or excessive repeated posts—i.e., spam
- Pornography, warez, or any other illegal activities
- Personal or contact details of yourself or anyone else. This includes, but is not limited to, email addresses, telephone numbers, and IP addresses. If you wish to share your details with someone, use the PM system.
- Any content that is 'ripped' or found to be in violation of copyright will be removed immediately and handled according to our Copyright Violation Policy.
- Please be considerate of those on slower connections. Instead of posting large images, please link to them.
- We reserve the right to edit or remove any posted content, even if it is not listed above. Topics may be deleted or closed to keep the board organized and prevent spam.
- ZetaBoards uses advertising to generate revenue. Discussion of ad-blocking software will result in suspension starting at one week.
- We reserve the right to edit or delete your account at any time without warning or explanation. You use this board at your own risk; we make no warranty that the information supplied is correct or accurate.
- You are only allowed one account at this board. Creating multiple accounts to get around suspension or other punishments will result in a tripling of the punishment time or permanent banishment.
- We restrict accounts to remove access to certain parts of the board that members abuse. These restrictions are permanent; do not request to be unrestricted.
- If you have a complaint about a staff member's conduct, please send a PM to Steve, StephenZB, or Locke.
Profile Guidelines

- Any images in your signature should not total to more than 100 KB in file size.
- Avatars should be no more than 50 KB in file size.
- Do not use flashing images in your avatar or signature; these may cause problems for photo-sensitive users.

- Users who have requested a name change must wait 3 months before submitting another name change request.
Advertising & Links
- Do not advertise any board, website, or service via PM, topic, post, or anywhere else on this board.
- You may advertise in your blog, signature, and profile, with the following exceptions:
- Competing services of InvisionFree/ZetaBoards (forum hosts, domain registrars, and web hosts)
- Referral links of any sort
- Links to harmful locations (such as the sign out link or “shock sites”)
Resources
The primary purpose of this board is to provide resources for InvisionFree and ZetaBoards. As such, behavior that would interfere with smooth operation of the board should be avoided.
- Look through the Zathyus Resources category along with the Theme Index and Skin Index before placing a request. It is possible that what you're looking for already exists!
- Do not PM or IM staff with requests—this includes sending staff a PM with a link to your request topic. Use the Requests Corner or find what you're looking for in our existing resources. Any other requests will go ignored, and your ability to use the PM system may be removed.
- Do not encourage members who say they will fill requests via PM or IM. Use only the the proper forums to fill any and all requests.
- Post in someone else’s request topic only to fill or assist in filling their request. Do not post to ask a request of your own. If you are unable to fill a request leave the topic for someone else to reply to and fill.
- We only provide skins and themes for InvisionFree and ZetaBoards. Please browse the correct section for the service you use. We do not provide skins and themes for other message board services, web hosts, or any other sort of third party product.
- Be considerate of other users seeking requests to be filled. Bump your topic only after three weeks with no replies.
Additionally, all ZetaBoards Terms of Services and Terms of Use remain applicable to the members of the ZB Theme Zone. |
