Forums and Shoutbox Rules:
* RICE: Absolutely no riced out firebirds of any kind. Keep your rice to yourself! How do you know if it's rice? If you had to think about if your car is rice, it's probably rice. Posting rice for the purpose of humor is allowed and encouraged.

2. Answer the majority of relevant questions directed at you.
3. Act respectively towards your opponent during the debate.
4. Try to be 'concise and clear' about your answers.
If you do not attempt to follow these rules of engagement, you will not be allowed to participate in the debate.
* Act like adults: No profanity or "offensive" content such as nudity, ######ography, violence, sexual content, etc. on the main forums. Use the Almost anything goes forum for "adult content".
