10. Concerning the Foreign Language forum : Currently, Daylight Pets allows for foreign languages to be spoken on a singular forum. They should not, at any point, be used in profiles, the shoutbox, and private messages due to the fact that the staff is English based and we have no means to properly monitor.The foreign language forum is a privilege, not a right, and should it be abused, it will be removed from the site in definitely.

11. In regards to the Debate Forum: There are to be no 'this or that' and 'which is better themed boards. These are not only false debate boards but also impossible to really "debate"adequately.

EXCEPTION: Only the original poster of a board may double post and ONLY immediately after the creation of the board should they forget something in their starter post. This exception will only be in place until the edit button is recoded and repaired. Chatspeak/abbreviations are allowed as long as they are not abused/used as spam/contain vulgarities. "Leet" speak, however, is not allowed as it is troublesome to read. IE; r3p14c1n6 13tt3r5 w1t4 num83r5.
Strikes: One per infraction for vulgarities. Zero strikes and verbal warning for leetspeak unless you become a habitual offender.

NOTE: Threads made must also contain topics conducive to conversation and discussion - empty topics or topics that contain a single word/character will constitute spam and will be handled accordingly.

**Rule violations operate with a three strike system.

If you accumulate three strikes, your accounts will be banned without further notice. You may appeal bans, however ban circumvention will immediately void that right.

General Conduct:

-Try to be as grammatically correct as possible. It makes it much easier to get your point across when others can comprehend what you're trying to say.
-Be polite to other users and to staff. This should be common sense, of course, as we're all here to make friends!
-If staff make a decision that you would like to appeal, contact that staff member privately. Please be respectful, even if you disagree with their decision! Contact an administrator if you feel you cannot possibly talk to a staff member without antagonizing them.
