A. Personal Features:

1. Signatures may be added and adjusted in your user profile provided they meet the following requirements:

• Must be 4 lines or less at 800x600 browser window resolution
• Cannot contain images except for smilies
• May contain links provided they conform to our rules for posted links
• Cannot contain advertising.
• Must contain less than 300 characters

2. Avatars are small images which appear directly under your forum username when posting. Default avatar size (in the avatar gallery) is 100x70 pixels, and max allowed avatar size is 120x80. Avatars cannot be animated or exceed 15Kb in filesize.

3. User profiles allow users to upload a personal photo if they choose. Uploaded photos must conform to our rules for objectionable content, are limited to 250x250px, and must be 50Kb or less in filesize.

B. Security and Privacy:

1. Users are responsible for keeping their passwords secure. If ever you think someone else may have obtained your password, contact the forum administrator to make arrangements to secure your member account. If you use a shared computer, make sure you log out of the forum after each visit so someone else cannot come along behind you and access your account.

2. Users are expected to maintain an accurate email address, otherwise they cannot be contacted regarding important updates by the forum administrator (such as announcements about member pruning or security issues), and will encounter validation problems when changing their contact information or password. Additionally, invalid email addresses cause undue server resources drain due to messages bouncing when members are notified via the PM system and when replies are made to subscribed topics.

3. The forum's Personal Messaging (PM) system is provided as a convenient method for members to contact one another and receive updates or other warnings from the management. Its use is subject to our rules governing spam and solicitation, and it is the member's responsibility to maintain their inbox and other PM folders. The PM system is unintended for legal correspondence between members, and Llamasery cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience cause by data loss.

C. Forum Ranking:

1. Member ranks are assigned based on post count. Llamsery member ranks are divided into nine ascending levels, and look like this:

Member Title	# Posts	Stars
Postulant	0
AcoLlama	6
Llama Cleric	51
Llama	101
Llama Herder	501
Llama Guru	1001
Tukool Llama	3001
High Llama	6001
Llamatar	9001

2. Llamasery's administration is setup as a chain of command. From lowest to highest, the staff structure operates like so:

• General Staff (Moderators)
• Executive Officers (Vice Presidents)
• Senior Officers (Senior Vice President, President)

It is the member's responsiblility to familiarize themselves with who occupies the Llamasery staff while having a working knowledge of the particular duties of staff members so they will know who to address regarding specific matters or concerns.

3. Some forum privileges are restricted based on user level to help prevent abuse of certain board features. New members are prevented from using the forum's email and PM system until they have made six posts, attaining the rank of AcoLlama, and are likewise prevented from starting polls or uploading avatars or personal photos.
