Forums - what is and isn't allowed!

I've recently been spending time helping players on the game play forum, I've noticed many things, one being that people don't understand what is and isn't acceptable on the game play forum as well as many rude people. So I've decided to post what is and isn't ok as set out in the Forum Guidelines. Reading this could help many of you, and potentially save you from losing karma and being banned!
 1. Cursing, that's right ladies and gentlemen. It isn't ok to swear in the forums (and no where on howrse) So that means none of the big five, no 'hells' 'dammits' 'craps'. None! Speak on howrse how you'd speak to your grandmother!
2. Advertising, So don't be advertising horse sales, coverings, item trades, training services and anything that gains you equus. You have a presentation on your profile for this sort of stuff, EC's can be advertised in the EC forum. 
3. Rudness, this is a big one for us here at TH. Rudeness doesn't just mean calling someone names or bullying them, it's anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. It can be as simple as using your seniority to talk down to other players to the obvious slanging matches. 
4. Bumping, This is purposely adding to posts once they've been answered or trolling messages up. It's annoying and takes up space, it can also be confusing to see a million posts that are contradictory or totally unrelated.
5. Using Caps lock, We understand that it can be an accident, and so does the howrse mods, but please keep in mind that it can appear as shouting!
6. Chat speak, We know that in today's era technology is huge and it's easier to use the occassional 'u' as a substitute for you, but please try and avoid it when posting questions and answers in the forum. It's difficult for players using translators and also for other english speaking players who have difficulty reading it.
7. Character repetition, so basically just don't spell like 'thiiiiiiiiss' or use excessive amounts of exclamation marks and other things like that!
8. Smiley repetition, It's good to know you're happy :) or feeling a bit cheeky ;) but it's not so great if you're trying to get a serious answer to a question. On your presentation - feel free to use as many smileys as you like ;)
9. Flooding the Forum, Double posting isn't a big deal, unless you ask the same thing several times. Flooding the forum can include silly, nonsensical posts about your fave band, music, horse breeds and colours. Things that don't belong there and would be much better suited to your page!
10. Naming and Shaming, Sometimes another player will annoy you, may be cheating or bullying you and you'd like to get them punished, we understand - but the forum is not the place to do so. Please contact the moderator of your choice for this!
11. Pornography, Political statements or Religious statements, These three things do not belong any where on howrse. Pornography is an obvious no-no. Politcal statements aren't allowed as they are not included in the horse game. You may love your politics, but there are other places on the web to justify your beliefs. Same thing for Religious statements, they aren't necessary, can be hurtful and can cause tension. Keep them off the forums and off your page!
12. No opinion polls, Page yes, forum no. 

Remember your please's and thankyou's!
