Refers to these as rules to fit into the community. These are not engraved in stone; these are guidelines that you should follow in order to fit into the community, since if you break any of these you may not actually be harming anyone (with the obvious exception of flaming). It's very important that you READ these, because if you continuously break any of these rules, you reveal yourself as a threat to this community's atmosphere, and will be treated accordingly.
#1 Read the General Rules page first. Anything covered there is probably not repeated here.
#2 General Discussion is for, well, general discussion. "Come here to discuss anything," even if it would fit "better" in a forum that covers a more specific range of topics. The rule of thumb is to either post in General Discussion and receive quick un-targeted views, or post in a specialized forum and receive targeted views and a longer thread life, but the choice is yours.
#3 Regarding alternate accounts... If you have been banned and decide to return on an alternate name, your posts will be deleted no matter how relevant or useful. Your account will also be banned, and your punishment increased. If you need to say something and have been banned, contact an admin or trusted member via email or a messenger program.
If you haven't been banned, but make multiple accounts, it is fine. As long as you do not cause trouble with them, such as spamming polls, getting "more people on your side," etc.. This could either be a serious or minor situation, which the moderators can judge accordingly. Most likely, if you abuse your multiple accounts, you will simply not be able to have more than one account anymore.
It is advised that if you are a newcomer, you do not make multiple accounts, so that other members of CurvedSpace get a chance to know you first.
#4 No advertisements here. No ads for websites should be posted here; it is likely to be deleted. If you would like to advertise a clan, please post here. Advertising anywhere else is likely to be deleted. If you register only to advertise, and you do so very excessively, we will assume you are a bot and will ban your IP address.

Warnings In Regard to The Above Rules:
The Mods will be quite lenient with warnings. As long as you are not hurting anyone/thing by breaking the rules, the Mods will simply give you verbal warnings. However, if you choose to disregard what mods advise you to do, and continue to break these rules, you may end up getting formally warned. Why? Because you're posing a potential problem to the atmosphere of the community by ignoring our guidelines. Newcomers will be shown more leniency than others, but most of what we ask for is common sense (it's not too difficult).

The CurvedSpace Moderating Team.
