Beyond Football Forum Rules
By using our forum, you abide by the rules listed below. None of the rules are negotiable or open for discussion, and should serve as guidelines for conduct on the forum.
Racism: This freestyle and football forum should bring us all together just like the game of football does. Please keep in mind that our forum goes beyond race and religion. Racist behavior and comments that lead to discrimination or prejudice will be automatically punished by a yellow card or automatic ban. The moderating team has the right to judge how long the yellow card or ban will last.
Adult Content: Nude photography is strictly prohibited on the forums due to the young age of members. Any use of pornography will be punished by a yellow or red card.
Warez & Illegal Content: Discussion of warez, cracks, piracy or any other illegal content is not allowed on the forums. You will be handed a warning for your first offense, followed by a yellow and a ban if your actions continue.
Advertising & Links: Save yourself the trouble and do not advertise on our forum. You can place your website's link in your signature as long as it's not from another forum. Any advertising threads will automatically be deleted and you will be given a yellow card. If you are a new user and your first post is an advertisement, you will automatically be banned. Last but not least, you are not allowed to link to any websites that break the rules of our forum. This includes but is not limited to articles that offend forum members, include racism or otherwise offensive or violent content.
PM Spam: Do not advertise or annoy people through PMs. Members are able to report private messages, and any complaints will be taken seriously.
The Report Button: If you find a post that looks like it's in violation of the forum rules, please report it to us by using the report button next to the post. Clicking the button will send an email to every administrator and moderator informing them of the post's location, so that we can find it and take care of it. This is the best way to fight against spammers or people who are trying to cause trouble. If you just ignore it, it may never get addressed! Reporting a post is completely anonymous; the person you are reporting will not know who reported the post.
Cursing and Violent Language: Lighthearted swearing is absolutely fine with us. However, language that depicts violence, hate, bashing or prejudice of any kind towards a user in a spiteful manner will be dealt with utmost severity. A warning or a yellow card will be meted out immediately and repeating offenders will be banned.
Spamming & Post Boosting: Posting the same thing repeatedly or spamming the forum with short, irrelevant posts will result in a verbal warning or a yellow card. Those that continue spamming after their initial warnings will be handed a red card.
Off-Topic Threads and Posts: Please post your threads in the appropriate sections. If your thread is posted in the wrong forum, we will move it. If you repeatedly continue to post threads in the wrong sections of our forum, a yellow card will be handed to you. The same applies to individual posts which should stay on topic. If you want to post something that does not with the topic, please start a new thread.
Old Threads: Please do not post in threads that are older than 2 or 3 weeks. You can start a new thread if you would like to continue the discussion. In the Freestyle Videos forum, you should not post in any thread that's older than 7 days. A warning will be given to the first offense, followed by a yellow card.
Signature Size: The maximum size for your signature is 300x100 pixels. Feel free to express yourself through your signature, but please follow our size limits. There is also a limit of one 300x100 graphic per signature.
Admins and Moderators: Administrators and moderators are here to make your experience as good as possible. Without our moderators and admins, Beyond Football wouldn't be what it is today. Please show these members respect and do not offend them for their work. Any comments towards the forum moderators and administrators that suggest hate, contempt or any other form of abuse will not be tolerated. Yellow cards will automatically be handed out to offenders. If you have a complaint against a moderator or admin, you can send a private message to Adi with your full complaint. The admins and moderators will then take a closer look into the situation.
Multiple Accounts: You are allowed to have only ONE account on our forum. It does not matter if your account is active or not, one account is the limit. If you wish to change your username, you may do so once by contacting Adi. If we detect more than one account under your IP, your accounts will be banned.

i see a problem with the last rule.
there is the possibility that different ppl share a same computer.
there is also the possibility that someone may have registered from a library computer, in which case several valid accounts could have been made with all the same IP.
also, someone could have been over at someone else's house while creating a new account, therefore attaining the same IP as someone else.
so on and so forth.
-
Yes, we are aware of that. We won't ban without using some common sense. If we see the same IP, we'll look into it further. There are several other tools we can use through the admin panel that lets us find out more about the user.
