Although the administrators and moderators of Phorom Forums will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author. Phorom Forums will not be held responsible for the content of any message.

• Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully ... without insult and personal attack. Differing opinions is one of the things that make this site great.

Forum members can gain and lose points (a.k.a. "Gold") for various activities. This is an important part of keeping the forums spam-free and annoyance-free (as well as usable in the CSRPG!)

You receive points when:

• Another member views a thread you made for the first time (1 point)
• Someone replies in a thread you made for the first time (5 points)
• Someone gives your thread a rating (1 point for each star)
• Someone likes your post (1 point)

You lose points when:

• Someone dislikes your post (-1 point)
• Someone mutes you (-2 points)

As you gain points, you are able to do more on the forums

• Above 10 points your profile customizations (avatar, signature, etc.) will be visible to other users.
• Above 50 points you can access exclusive forum sections
• Above 100 points you can unlock advanced profile customizations and user titles

As you gain points, you are able to do less

• Below -10 points your are not allowed to post more than once per day.
• Below -50 points your are not allowed to make threads.
• Below -100 points you are by-default muted by all users, unless they unmute you.

Once you are comfortably above 100 points, you can spend spend any excess points on the Chrono Shock RPG.

Forum members can add other forum members as a friend, a rival, or your nemesis.

• Friend - You enjoy interacting with this person.
• Rival - You enjoy competing with this person.
• Nemesis - Someone on the site who lives in your head rent-free, or whom you seem destined to clash with.

Note that this is a one-way relationship. If you add someone as a friend, they are not automatically your friend.

Also note that this is a public relationship. If you add someone as a friend, they will be able to see that you added them as a friend.

Forum moderators have some actions they can take to make the forums better.

Suspending a member:

This gives a member a temporary timeout. The member can log in and edit thier profile, but they are unable to post or take other actions (such as rating threads/posts, or voting in polls). Suspensions can last for days or weeks.

Locking a member account:

This is like a permanent suspensions. A locked member account additionally cannot edit any of thier own account info. This is for bots and spammers.

Deleting a member account:

This is only available to admins. This deletes all of a user's posts and personal information.

This forum has advanced spam-prevention features.

Auto-locking

If a the spam-detection system determines that a new thread is spam, it will auto-lock it.

Auto-deleting

If a thread trips the highest level of spam detection (something that is obviously spam), it is deleted rather than being locked.

Disliking

You can help by disliking spam posts.
