Shortened edited version of Joomla! Forum rules

[froggyboy604]

I also like to add another rule.

-PM Spam won't be tolerated. If any member is caught sending PM spam, they will be banned or punished.

PM spam is spaming members on the forum with advertisements for selling stuff.

An example of PM spam would be a PM sent to multiple users like this:

Subject: Buy fresh milk from my farm.

Message: Only 5 dollers a bottle. What a deal. You be dumb not to buy my milk. Yee haaa Yippie yankee do.

(insert link to product page here)

-PM chain mail is not tolerated either.

An example of PM chain mail is

subject: send this message to 5 more people

message: If you don't, something weird will happen.
