If you smell anything funny, like corruption in the staff or moderators that I assign, please contact me about it so I can help solve the issue. If you feel like you have been wrongfully banned, contact me via my tumblr and tell me everything that happened and why you feel that it was unjust. I can unban you and demote a mod for such behavior. I want everyone to feel welcome here, and I hate corruption, so please tell me any problems you have with certain mods or staff if you ever do.

9. Banning
Banning is the last resort action that PaintedBlue will take in regards to users. The following reasons will get you automatically banned no questions asked.
A. Threatning any user and that user taking it seriously.
Joking is all in fun, but the bottom line dont threaten people.
B. Posting obviously pornagraphic non-imaginary material of a sexual nature that cannot be construed as art. While laws in some contries protect Fan Art depicting an overtly sexual act some do not. All other sexual images, files and/or links should have some form of warning attached.
C. Creating a Hostile Enviroment that does not allow for general discussion. This is included all of the following; posts, topics, PM's, profiles, profile comments, avatars, and signatures. If a User is posting for the sole purpose of aggitating other users this is considered a Hostile Environment. This includes abusive or excessive vulgar language that the user finds offense which may include excessive profanity or lewd and vulgar jokes.
NOTE: Profanity is not forbidden in, except when used in a degrading or abusive way that may deeply offend the user the profanity may be directed towards.
D. Spamming / Advertising Aggressively - We have a Chat Thread for any spamming you wish to do.
You May NOT do the Following:
1. Spam the hell out of the site posting random crap everywhere, aggrivating everyone.
2. Send mass, uninvited PM's to everyone, constantly annoying other members.
10. Disputing Warnings or Bans:
Warning Dispute - If you recieve a warning and feel it is unfair or does not violate the Rules of the Forum or Section Rules set by the moderator you may PM the Administrator. The warning will be reviewed and discussed and you will recieve a decision within 48 hours. If the warning is found to be unjust it will ve removed from your profile if not the warning will stand.
