MEMBERSHIP
- Please do not jump on new members. Everyone here was a newbie at some point. Message board bullying by online cliques and/or other members will NOT be tolerated here!
- Please do not register more then once. If you register and do not receive your info e-mail, then contact one of the mods or admins. If a person is found to be registered more then once, then only the user-name with the most posts will remain.
- Sharing accounts to view the videos is not only frowned upon, but illegal. It is considered theft & any member caught sharing their login info will have their membership revoked immediately, will be permanently banned from the forum & may suffer other disciplinary actions!
BASHING
- Do not start threads or make posts to bash, slander, mock or otherwise demonstrate a lack of respect for Rob Van Dam, or his family members or their friends.
- Do not start threads or make posts to bash, slander, mock or otherwise demonstrate a lack of respect for other members, the mods & admins, other websites or other message boards. We don't really care that someone used the smiley when you posted at another board. Posting about it here will get you nothing but more of those smileys.
- Do not discriminate against someone's age, background, nationality, sexuality, weight, religious beliefs, etc.
- All opinions should be respected and expressed maturely without resorting to name calling, bashing, rudeness, etc.
GRAPHICS
For the signature, the area of the box includes any text, because large blocks of text can be just as annoying.
The maximum signature hosted file size must not exceed 250KB
So, for example, you could have a 500x150 image, plus a few lines of text, or some text links, providing the complete sig still fits inside the box.
You can have ONE full size (500x250) banner or two smaller banners, but they must all fit into the dimension box provided above! If not, they will be removed.
A text height limit of '12' bold is also being imposed for sig
text. (not on the graphic, but text alone.)
The size relates to the image size that is hosted, and what appears when you modify your profile.
The hosted file size for an avatar must not be more than 50K.
One other consideration is for those that suffer from Epilepsy (Fits), please don't use fast flashing avatars or sigs, thanks!

Failure to abide by these graphic guidelines may result in one or more of the following...
1st Offense - Your sigs & avatars will be removed by a staff member. Then a PM explaining to you why it was removed & reminding you of the rules will be sent to you.
2nd Offense - Your sig & avatar will be removed and your display privileges will be disabled for a week minimum.
3rd Offense - You will be banned permanently from this forum.
BANNING
- Once you're banned, you're banned. If you find a way to sneak back on the board without our permission, you'll be banned again. (If you are doing that though, maybe you need something better to do during your days. Stamp collecting maybe?)
Do not attempt to contact RVD regarding yourself or any other member being banned. Doing so will NOT get you or them back on the board, but it WILL result in said person being banned permanently. If they haven't been already.
While banned, please DO NOT have your friends rally for you by creating threads, PM'ing us, e-mailing us, etc. Doing so will NOT get you back on the board but it could possibly result in your friend(s) being banned as well. Besides, we don't really care if 100 people say you are great, once we vote & decide, then it's official!
- Anyone found to be impersonating someone they are not in the chat room, will be banned immediately from the chat AND from the message board!
RVDTV STAFF
- Feel free to PM and get to know your mods & admins. You may PM them at any time if you have a problem, a comment or even a suggestion but please be polite and do not start threads to question their judgment, contradict them, mock them, bash them, etc. Contrary to popular belief, they are not Nazis, fascists or anything else of the sort. They're just regular people trying to make this place work. I promise you, they won't bite either!

Any violation of the above rules will result in the offender being permanently banned from the forum. Usually you'll get a friendly reminder of the forum rules or a warning from a mod or an admin and then you're gone. However, it *is* possible to be banned suddenly and without warning as we see fit. If you think you were banned unjustly then contact one of the admins/mods via e-mail. Contacting us does not guarantee that the ban will be lifted.
These rules may be modified as the need arises and possibly without notice.
*NOTE* - As of now, a ZERO TOLERANCE policy regarding any rule violation will be in effect until further notice!
