Usernames

• You may not join the forums with a username containing inappropriate or bigoted content.
• Accounts with inappropriate usernames will be deleted.
• Oftentimes, the forum's spam filter will flag an account as spam if its username is a generic, American name (i.e., Jack, Daniel, Sophie, etc.)
• Staff checks the spam filter regularly and will manually approve these accounts if it's determined they're legitimate.

Spamming

• Spamming the forums is strictly prohibited.
• All spam posts and accounts will be deleted as promptly as possible.
• What is and is not considered spam is determined by staff on a case-by-case basis.
• Links to other Project Zomboid servers are not considered spam and are allowed to be posted.

Adult Content

• Excessive profanity as well as any and all pornography are strictly prohibited on the forums.
• See also: General Guidelines on Hate Speech.
• Posts containing the above will be deleted as promptly as possible.
• Adult-oriented jokes are allowed, but please use your best judgement.
• Non-pornographic adult content that references in-character (IC) events is allowed.

Attachments & Bandwidth

• Attaching oversized images to posts uses excessive site bandwidth; size down your attachments if needed.
• If an oversized image is found in a forum post, it will be removed.
• Hosting an image on a site such as Imgur and linking it on the forums will circumvent this problem.
• Keep all image attachments in signatures to 500x500px or smaller.
• Regardless of whether an image is attached directly or hosted on Imgur, etc., oversized images in signatures clog up the forums.
• If an oversized image is found in a user's forum signature, it will be removed.
