The Rules Must Read.....Welcome to the Duel Academy forum, wetry our hardest to keep this place clean seeing as how this is achildren based game, meaning children to attend the forum. This meansrules are set for the protection of all members, everyone is expectedto follow these rules, and they apply everywhere on the forum. Guidelines Read the Announcements and Important topics. Mostof the sub-forums have stuck topics which usually have rules(important), FAQs or other commonly used service, and topics that arepopular. Make sure you look through each one of these before posting anew topic. Use proper grammer Use proper grammar whenyou can: This is a major plus. If you use proper English grammar, thenit’s more likely that people will take you seriously. Using “netspeak”is not recommended, it also makes it harder for other people tounderstand you. Use common sense: Remember, this is theInternet. Make good judgment calls on what to take seriously, askquestions when you don’t understand what’s going on, and make sure toread posts so you’re not going into a topic blind. However, at the sametoken, don’t act stupid, don’t assume everyone is nice, and don’t actlike this a perfect place. Be patient: Allow a reasonableamount of time for something to happen.
