Flaming: A flame is an insult or slur directed to a member. Listed below are our definitions of "flames":
Bullying: Is to treat another member in an overbearing or intimidating manner. Such action is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated. If you feel that someone is bullying you or harassing you in any way you should report it to an admin or global moderator immediately.
Bashing: Is to engage in harsh, accusatory and/or threatening criticism directed to any member of the forum.
Trolling: Trolling is a stupid and annoying behavior on the forum which significantly increases the world load of the staff and tests our tolerance towards the offenders. From this point and on, special actions will be taken to ensure that members who partake in such behavior learn to abide by our rules or stay away from NarutoBase. The administrators have the right to ban members from the community if they feel that they are a threat to the forum.
Troll threads: Troll threads are threads made usually to troll a member or a site. These threads are not allowed on NB under any circumstances. If you come across a troll thread there is no need to post in it- it is better if you just report it using the report button located on the bottom left corner of every post. This will immediately notify all the staff members and the problematic thread will be removed as soon as possible.
Insults: Any type of insult directed from one member to another member. Please remember that there is a big difference between "criticism" and "insulting".
Homosexual Slurs: Any type of homosexual slur directed from one member to another member, whether it'd be false claims that the member being flamed is a homosexual, or mocking a homosexual member for their sexual preference.
Sexual Slurs: Any type of sexual slur directed from one member to another member, whether it'd be describing explicit sexual behaviors involving the member being flamed, or typing sexually explicit slurs using the likeness of the member being flamed.
Racial Slurs: Any type of slur directed from one member to another member or ethnic background insulting a specific ethnic background. This is the internet. Be careful of what you post since even if your intentions aren't racist, they can still be perceived that way and will be dealt with in accordance.
