SWAK is a friendly community specialized in preteen contents.

Once signed up, you will find lots of help, ideas and discussions; and you will be able to get help, give help and share your knowledge with other friendly users.  
I am sure you will find it a great site.

All we ask in return is for you to follow the rules and be friendly; and share with others your knowledge. Registration to this forum is free!

We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below. We look forward to meeting you, and remember to read the site rules when you enter and take the time to introduce yourself............

[The moderators of this forum will try hard to edit or remove reprehensible messages as soon as possible. However, it is impossible for them to review all the messages. In which case, that all the messages posted on this forum express the sight and opinions of their respective authors and not those of the Staff (except messages posted by them) and consequently, they cannot be held responsible of the discussions.]

Forum Rules:

             1. First Rule.. NO CHILD PORN here. Any member who submits such will have their submission  deleted they will have their account deleted.
            
             2. We allow over 18 nudity,but not hard pornography
            
             3. NO  harsh/prerogative comments
            
                         
             4. We retain the right to amend/change the rules as we see  fit..... so please check in every now and then
            
            5. We will not tolerate any exchange of email or pictures by the PM system


           6. Do NOT use SWAK board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, profane, threatening, invasive of a member's privacy, or otherwise violation of any laws.

           7. Usernames are expected to be civil. "Dirty Nig*a" is an example of an unacceptable name.

           8. Messages who promote - or evoke - illegal practices are prohibited.

           9. No spamming...any caught spamming will be automatically banned. Advertising is a non-starter.

            10  Personal sites are fine, funny links etc. Do NOT link to forced-signup content. These links will be removed.

           11. If you post information that comes from another site, look first if the site in question doesn’t forbid it. Show the address of the site in question in order to respect the work of their administrators!

           12. Please post your messages only once. The repetitions are unpleasant and useless!

           13. Please make an effort on grammar and spelling. SMS-style language (ex: r u sk8ing?) are allowed but is not advised! (Remember there are many members, who's native language is not English)

           14. Please do not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by this bulletin board.

          15. Flaming is NOT welcome here. Keep it civil and polite. You reap what you sew.

          16. Post in the most correct section. Posts made in a random or unrelated section may be moved or deleted.(Movie topics in the Movie section, Computers / Technology topics in the Computers / Technology section, etc.)

          17. No bumping... (All bumped threads will be deleted.)

          18. No one word, or smiley face or one picture posts . If you leave a message in the forums, it should be to the point of the thread you are in.

          19. This is NOT a trading post. Users have been burned before, and we're not ready to risk it again. Sale/trade/etc posts will NOT be tolerated.

          20-. This is an English-language board. Posts in another language must be translated immediately and properly below, or in English only. ( Unless you are posting in a non english forum )

          21. Use some common sense I.e. Don't post your email in any thread or post unless you love spam

The Sites and their Staff.

           1. DO NOT DISOBEY THE STAFF

           2. Badmouthing staff and/or the sites and the forum is not welcome. Constructive criticism is always welcome, cussing out the staff or impinging the main sites' reputation because you're angry is not constructive or helpful in making this one of the better parts of the internet.

           3. Administrator and Moderator decisions are final. Again, the Contact Us link is available to you. Rest assured it points to an Administrator's email.

           4. The Staff here are volunteers and give their time freely. As a small reward they are exempt from all but the most extreme versions of these rules. If you have an issue with a Moderator or Admin, use the Contact Us link or PM an Admin.

           5. We have complete faith in our Staff. They may bend or allow things as they see fit, within reason. Their word is final.



Avatars And Signatures.

        Avatars:

           1. Your avatar must be no bigger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels in size.

           2. Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 100 KB.

           3. The following file types are allowed: gif,jpg,jpeg,png,bmp

           4. Do NOT use potentially offensive material involving  religious material, animal / human cruelty or ideologically charged images. Mods have wide discretion on what is acceptable. If in doubt PM one. (This goes for signatures as well.)


Signatures:

           1. Signatures are allowed within reason and subject to all the rules of this board.

           2. One signature image per person, and it should be reasonably sized. Not to exceed than 500 pixels by 150 pixels in size.

           3. Total Size in Kb shall not exceed 100kb.

           4. Animated signatures are acceptable, but keep animation to a minimum. (an example of "bad" animation would be Japanese seizure robot-style flashes etc.)

           5. You can have text in your signature also, which should not exceed 3 lines with the picture present, or 6 lines without an image. Text is of course optional.

           6. File types allowed are gif, jpg, jpeg, png, psd - please note HTML code is disabled for security reasons.


Promotion:

           1. First level of promotion is SWAK member
               You need to go to the forum "Prove yourself" and post the requirements. And within a day maybe two you will have the promotion.

            2. Second level of promotion will be based on your given level and interactions.
                The best and fastest way to have further promotion or even to e a admin or moderator here is  go to " self intro" forum and setup your own topic ( home ) and interact well with everyone.
 
             3. The highest level of membership here is SWAK family. Each level will open up new and new forums for everyone.  

            4. ALL members who are above the level of "Super" MUST have their own profile at the forum called "PARADISE HUT" within one week of their promotion. Your profile in  "PARADISE HUT" will be serve as active and inactive meter.

            5. If a member is not active for more than 2 weeks without a parking status and noticed by any admin or moderator will be demoted and their post count will be reset to ZERO.


    Any message contradicting the listing above will be edited or removed without additional notice or justification by moderators or administrators. Any abuse will involve the cancellation of your registration.
