SITE RULES

1. Please be kind, pleasant, and respectful to everyone (members, staff, and guests) on this forum. This is a place for fun, not hate. If you cannot follow this rule you will be warned and then banned.
2. When you register for the site, you may use any name you please (so long as it is appropriate), and may change it later on if you wist.
2a. Please do not register for the site if you do not plan to be active, likewise, do not join the site simply to advertise in the ad board either (i've had it happen).
3. This site's main purpose is discussion of naruto, however, we also have a section for roleplaying. Roleplaying in this section is for naruto related role play only, and threads should be kept pg-13 (in accordance to proboard's TOS). Staff closely monitor all role play.
3a. To make everyone's life easier, there is a place for you to "log your characters". This means that you fill out the bio information for your characters and post them in a thread (one thread per person) and link to it in your signature so people can find your character easily. You cannot claim canon characters, anyone can play them and they are first come first served in threads.
3b. The site will hold (monthly rpg's), meaning that once a month or so, the staff will make a base plot (ie. a war and or a battle) for a rpg thread and post it for members to join in and participate in.
4. No character bashing. Period. Do not start a thread or reply to a thread bashing any character. It causes to many problems between members and staff will not take it lightly.
4a. Character bashing does not include posting about your "dislike" of a character. For example, you may not post ('character name sucks'). You are allowed to post, (I really don't care for 'character name', because -reasonable explanation here-). This is a forum mainly for discussion, so it would be unrealistic to completely limit someones ability to express their dislike of characters.
5. We have fan groups. On this site (under the category "groups") there are threads dedicated to a certain cause in naruto (ie. naruhina canon - a group supporting and discussing the relationship of Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Hinata). These groups are member run, and may be open or closed (closed would be password protected boards where you must apply to the group leader to gain membership and access to).
5a. If you would like to open a group, you should contact a member of staff with information of the group (group name, cause, closed/open, other), so they can create a board for it (if it is accepted, duplicate/irreverent groups will be denied). Group leaders should be contacted for group membership requests, not staff members. Group leaders hold the right to deny members for their own reasons (however if you feel that it is completely unfair and or feel that you have been mistreated by a group member, you may contact a staff member over the issue.
5b. All group content must be kept pg-13, and follow all other site rules about content (no character bashing, etc...), groups will be monitored by moderators.
5c. Group leaders will be responsible for the protection of their password (staff will have a log of them, but please keep track of yours). If you need your group password changed for some reason, please take it up with staff (tell us why).
5d. Group leaders hold the right to kick members out of a group for reasons they see fit, so long as it isn't discriminatory. Meaning that leaders can take action over members who do not participate or break the rules. (If your group is a closed group contact staff to have the group pass changed, you will be responsible for getting it to group members). If you do not follow a group leaders orders to leave (for open groups) you can be banned.
5e. Group leaders must appoint someone as 'sub leader' to take over the group while they are away (if they become inactive for more than a month - the group will be given to this person).
6. Do not spam. It's simple enough, double posting on purpose (its okay if its an accident due to a connection/proboards error - this shouldn't occur more than once) is against the rules. Your thread/post will be deleted and you will be warned, if it continues to be an issue you will be banned.
7. Do not advertise your site anywhere other than the plug board. This includes sending PM's with your site link in it. You may not advertise to other members through pm (if you are found doing so you will be warned, and then banned).
8. All content posted on this forum must be pg-13 (based on proboards TOS) and should be in English. Content in private messages (PM'S) must be pg-13, or you will be breaking the proboards TOS, anyone found breaking this rule will be banned without warning. Please check your spelling and grammar, we understand if you make some mistakes, but keep things understandable.
9. Theft, from either this site or another, will not be tolerated in any way. Do not post stolen content on this site (bios, images, etc...) If this occurs and we find out, you will be permanently banned and the original owner of the stolen content will be notified. Any site found stealing from DATTEYBAYO will recieve one warning to remove the content, if you do not, you will be reported to proboards or your respective forum/site provider.
10. Members who have not logged into their accounts in more than three weeks will be put on a list to be deleted during the next site activity check.
11. ChatBox rules are as follows;

• No Spamming
• No Advertising
• No Hate
• No Arguing

12. Please keep personal grudges, drama, problems off the site. Do not argue with anyone else (out of character) on our boards, take the issue to Private messaging. If the issue becomes to bad, and staff have to get involved, it is to be assumed that at the very least someone will receive a warning, and or be banned.
13. Any member who is disrespectful, rude, belligerent, or openly argues with site staff will be banned without a warning. If any members have a problem regarding a member of staff should take it up directly with one of the site's admins through private messaging.
14. Images may not stretch the site, they should be no more than 700x600, and avatars may be up to 150x270. Any images that are inappropriate or stretch the site will be removed.
15. Staff reserve the right to ban/warn members based upon the proboards TOS and these site rules. These rules may be subject to change at any time, members will be notified, and are expected to comply with the new rules within three days after they have been posted. All content that does not follow updated rules will be removed by staff after three days (for site rule) or immediately (for content that is in conflict with the proboards TOS).
