Updating the look and wording of the general rules.
Just a quick update I thought might be helpful to post:


[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]1:[/COLOR] No Verbal Abuse[/B] (Flaming)[/SIZE]
Please be kind to other users, or at least keep from insulting them on the forums.

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]2:[/COLOR] No Spamming[/B][/SIZE]
Spam is repeated or useless/meaningless information, make sure your post has some relevant (to the topic) content and has some originality.
This includes asking people to come to your shop, look at your auction, posting your on.toribash link, and anything else that doesn't belong on the forum.
As an exception you are allowed to advertise in your signature.

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]3:[/COLOR] No Double Posting[/B][/SIZE]
Please use the edit button on the lower-right corner of your post to change it or add to your old post, don't post twice in a row. (note; posts twice in a row within 24 hours of each other will be automatically merged)

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]4:[/COLOR] No Posting Pornography/Shock Material/Drug threads[/B][/SIZE]
Use common sense when deciding what's inappropriate here, and if you're not sure then send a private message to a moderator. This rule doesn't apply to the marked 18+ sections of the forums.

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]5:[/COLOR] No Warez or Piracy of Software[/B][/SIZE]
Any potentially illegal material will get the post deleted and the user infraction or banned. Please only post legitimate download links, and do not instruct users on how to pirate software.

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]6:[/COLOR] No Bumping Old Threads[/B][/SIZE]
Please get the date the last post in a thread was posted, if it was a long time ago (use your own judgement here) then don't post in it.

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]7:[/COLOR] No Backseat Moderating[/B][/SIZE]
If you see someone breaking a rule, don't post telling them about it. [URL="http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?t=120343"]Use the report button[/URL].

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]8:[/COLOR] Use Apropriate Thread Titles[/B][/SIZE]
Titles that comprise of a single word (such as 'help') or otherwise don't describe the content of a thread, or misslead users about the thread are likely to get the thread creator a warning or infraction.

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]9:[/COLOR] Use the search button.[/B][/SIZE]
We have a search feature at the top right of this forum, and you should use it before posting a question. It's likely been asked before, and has an answer. Please note that Toriprime is required to use the search function, you won't be penalised if you don't have searching capabilities, however you should still [URL="http://forum.toribash.com/forumdisplay.php?f=62"]check out the FAQ at the very least[/URL].

[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=#ff0000]10:[/COLOR] Follow Sub-forum Rules[/B][/SIZE]
Most sub-forums here have their own unique rules, make sure you've read them before posting.

Notes:
I removed the original rule 3, as rule 2 encompased rule 3 when expanded.
