Rules

[Beam-Monsters]

The Beam-Monsters Community Forum has several rules in place to ensure a respectful and constructive environment. These include obtaining permission for ports, no rudeness or personal attacks, no spamming or trolling, and no discussions of illegal activities. Members are allowed one login account per IP, and offensive posts may be removed without notice. Advertising and solicitations are not permitted, and moderation decisions are final. The forum is free, and disputes with staff are handled privately. The rules may be updated as needed for community harmony.
