Please contact the moderator of the forum you wish to post on if you feel you need clarification on any of these rules.



RLFANS.COM is not a democracy, its users accept its rules which have been developed by the admin staff over the past 7 years and which fuel the site and keep it on the straight and narrow.



If you don't like the rules, then there are **LOTS** of other websites you can go and play on.
