-You cannot name or tell how to access any sites not allowed for in the Official Rules (it states no links).
This means:
*putting spaces in the URL
*using words instead of a URL (www dot roblox dot com)
*saying .com, .net, etc on the end of a site's name
*telling people something like "Google this and it'll be the first result"

-"Necroposting" (posting on old threads) is not allowed.
The basic guideline is that a thread is dead after a month. However, if you manage to bring back actual discussion, it's okay.

-Page stretching is against the rules.

-Even if you created an individual piece, it only counts as yours if the basis of it is yours.
This is a difficult rule to word concisely, but it's basically an expansion of the rule "you can only post things you created." For example, a Cat Creator game online allows you to color the cat however you wanted, but you didn't create the lineart yourself (even if there are customizations for it), so it's not allowed. Similarly, you may not post pictures of a Minecraft reskin/mod, etc., even if you designed the mod, because you did not create Minecraft.

-Only English is allowed.
You may no longer use any of another language even if translation is immediately provided. The mods don't have time to translate everything they find, especially as internet translators aren't exactly reliable.

-Any discussions about harm to a person or themself is against the rules and considered an adult topic.

-Discussion about a mod-related action is not allowed.
Meaning the mods can't tell you on the forums why a thread was deleted or someone was banned/suspended. You can email about your own threads, but that's it.

-"L2D!" threads are considered spam/karma threads.

-You can't discuss Hetalia on the forums.
Basically the whole thing is stereotypes, so it's banned.

-Any RPs based on R-rated material are not allowed, even if they are completely appropriate.
Mods' guidelines are basically that if it's not in a Disney movie, it's not allowed on the forums.

-Talking about a Zombie Apocalypse is against the rules.
Zombies are pretty gross and scare a lot of people, and in late 2012 that was basically all people talked about.

-Discussion of firearms is not allowed, even if it stays away from religion, politics, and adult topics.

-Hospitals not allowed as they *may* contain adult topics.

-Images may not include watermarks from other sites, or watermarks which contain anything other than your username.

-No over-the-top blood in games, and no gore at all.

-GUIs may not contain flashing colors.

-Art ownership: You may not post something from another site even if you give credit or have permission. Credit only counts if it was given on the forums themselves.

-Do not post links that will lead to a screamer.

-Sharing accounts and alts are not permitted.
For multiple reasons. It could be used to bypass a ban, or someone could claim an instance of rulebreaking was by another person on the account and therefore the account shouldn't be suspended so they could still use it.

-Age no longer allowed to be shared. It now falls under the "no personal information" rule.
Birthdays (month and day only) are fine, though.

-Mini-mods (aka "junior mods") are not allowed on the Forums.
It's okay to tell someone they're breaking a rule if you see it, but don't make it a habit; if it doesn't seem like a genuine mistake, just report and move on.

-No "feeding the trolls" (talking about trolls) or discussing banned members in general.
This includes trolls who have long since gone.

-Do not report a thread more than once.
Even if it's been several days. Trust me on this one.

-Orientations (as in attractions not initiations) are considered an adult topic and will not be tolerated.
Applies to in all instances (rp, fanfiction, discussion) that are anything other than a straight couple. (yes I know)

-Gender pronouns cannot be put in the signature, although "male" or "female" is USUALLY acceptable.
Also, gender identity beyond biological is considered an adult topic and will not be tolerated, although I believe that when asked for pronouns you are allowed to provide any (this isn't a guarantee it's based on spotty evidence). (yes I know)

-No photos of people.
Things like a hand holding a pet are sometimes acceptable; it's not completely consistent. However, it is consistent that no picture showing a face, silhouette, etc. is ever allowed.

-Thread-advertising threads are not allowed.
This includes things like forum libraries. It's okay to have a section in a larger topic devoted to this (such as having a "Previously Submitted" with links to all fanfictions that have been rated on a fanfiction rating thread), but advertising the threads cannot be the main focus.

-Joke Clans and Joke Fashion Groups are not allowed.

-You may not discuss Skype, Plugdj, Agario or similar things.

-Sedation is not allowed.

-Attack on Titan is considered adult.
MA15+ rating, so yeah...

-It is okay for a character to kill another, as long as it is not graphic/gory.

-You may not discuss Five Nites at Freddy's.

-Weapons in art in and of themselves are not forbidden, but contextually they may not be allowed.
My explanation: "It might be that a message or thread is pulled due to the text, not the weapon. It could be that holding a knife is okay, but the knife stabbed into someone's chest is going to be pulled. A gun being held at the side is not the same as a gun pointed at someone'e head." She also notes that this is a subjective area of moderating, as there is no cut-and-dry way to say what crosses the line, but it should be relatively clear what is and is not acceptable.

ALSO
Trigger Warning Rule:
The mods' response to questions about trigger warnings is basically that if it requires a warning, we probably shouldn't talk about it here. Due to the sheer number of things that can be triggering to different people, this isn't always necessarily true, since it can be difficult to know sometimes if something you're posting that seems harmless actually needs a warning. So: rule? Respect people. The end.
To anyone who hasn't heard of them, trigger warnings are the same concept as putting "blood warning" in the Art Forum; basically just a term for the number of different warnings people could need. "Trigger" itself refers to things related to past trauma, but similar warnings can be necessary for non-trauma-related things. If you post a trigger warning (also shortened to tw) it's best if you also mention what the warning is for. People also use phrases like "content note" to mean the same thing, but "trigger warning" is the most common.
