1. No SMAP (Stupid Messages that are Annoying and Pointless): I've seen so many forums practically die because of this problem. Make sure to have a reason to post and that it belongs where you post it.
2. Double Posting: Try not to do it. There is a little edit button there so you can edit your posts. If you forgot to add something, edit your last post before you post again.
3. Keep language nice and friendly. Remember this is a CHRISTIAN site.
4. Avatars and Signatures: Keep them on the small side. Less pictures make pages load faster, smaller pictures too. Just try to keep them average size.
5. Links: Please keep links to "safe" sites.
6. Mods and Admins: Don't ask to be one. If we see you are admin or mod material, we will PM you. Also, please respect mods and admins on the forums. Things like, no arguing if we correct you, or if we do something wrong.
7. Specific Forum Rules: some forums have their own specific rules. Please read them before posting there.
8. DON'T STEAL! If you want to use the images made on this site, just ask. That person may let you use them.
9. You are only allowed 1 account (username) on JMv2. If you accidentally create more than one account, all but 1 of them will be deleted. We will ask you which one you want to keep. If you have multiple people using the same computer, you should say so if we think you have more than one account.
10. Advertising: Advertising any other site/forum/blog is forbidden outside of your sig and the 'Teh Interwebz' forum.
