Well, here are the main rules. I believe they are similar to the ones that were on the original CG:
FLAMING
Flaming will not be tolerated here. 10% warning.
EXCESSIVE USE OF SWEARING
Please note that swearing is allowed here. However, the excessive use of it (5 cusses in one post) will result in a 15% warning.
DISAGREEMENT WITH AN ADMINISTRATOR OR STAFF MEMBER
No. Just. No.
SPAMMING/FLOODING
If you are caught spamming or flooding, you will receive a 50% warning, but you may be banned.
RACISM/SEXISM
This could easily fall under the category of flaming; if you are insulting a person or persons based on their race or Gender, you will be banned. It's just wrong people.
MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
Multiple accounts will result in both accounts getting a 50% warning.
IMPERSONATING A STAFF MEMBER OR OTHER MEMBER AS A GUEST
We can compare IP addresses. IP ban, email ban, username ban. No.
TELLING A STAFF MEMBER WHAT TO DO
The staff know what they are to do. So don't do this. 30% warning.
DOUBLE POSTING
Please do not double post. 5% warning.
TRIPLE POSTING
Please do not triple post. 10% warning. (Continues to increase 5% for each postings in a row).
SMUGGLING
This is when you take an item from another forum that you bought in a "store" and paste it here. This is normally OK, unless the person you bought it from has a store here with that item in stock. You must buy that item or you will get a 75% warning. This is serious. This is actually against the law.
ADVERTISING WHEN UNDER 25 POSTS OR IN THE WRONG THREAD
If we catch you advertising your site when you have less than 25 posts, or advertising in the wrong board, we will add a 5% warning.
ADVERTISING SITES/FORUMS THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU
35% warning for advertising sites that are not yours.
STEALING INFORMATION FROM THIS SITE THAT WAS CREATED BY A.E. OR SOME OTHER STAFF MEMBER.
If it was not created by SEGA or Sonic Team, you can't take info from here, this includes codes that was made by one of the staff members or members. However, if it ((A code)) was made by proboards, you can use it.
If you see someone who is breaking one of these rules, use the "Report to Admin" button at the bottom of each post. It is there for a reason, so don't be afraid to use it if necessary.
Suspensions/Bans:
First suspension: 2 day ban. Your warning level will be set to 25%.
Second suspension: Week-long ban. Your warning level will be set to 50%.
Third suspension: Perma-ban. Goodbye to you.
IGNORANCE OF THESE RULES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. IT IS NOT OUR FAULT IF YOU DO NOT READ THE RULES. THERE WILL BE NO FRIENDLY WARNINGS, WE WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE WARNING.

MSC: Remember peeps - these rules must be obeyed! OK? They must be your best friends because believe me, AE and I will not hesitate to warn you or ban you if you disobey. Got that? Good.
