Accounts

• One account per member. This means that an account may not be shared by multiple people, nor may one person control multiple accounts. If both you and your friend would like to be a part of KH-Vids, you both must create accounts. Sharing accounts for any period of time will have consequences, ranging anywhere from a small temporary ban to a permanent ban.
• If you have forgotten your password or login details, contact an Administrator and we can help.
• Creating a new account because you do not like your username or you would like a fresh start is not allowed; if you would like to change, simply change. Usernames can be changed after 300 posts and five months of membership for normal members; for Premium members, every two weeks. If your username contains personal information (e.g. your full name), a username change will be permitted without the requirement.
• Sharing accounts with a banned member is expressly forbidden.

Profiles

• Members are reminded that the staff (and the rest of the site, unless you change your privacy settings) can view visitor messages. Follow the rules you would when you are posting in threads; your messages are still public.

Likes

Due to our shift in forum software from vBulletin to XenForo last year, "Reputation" has been replaced with the "Likes" system. As such, there are quite a few substantial changes to the system:

• If you are a returning member from the vBulletin days, the current number of Likes you have is based on the number of times you received Reputation on vBulletin. Reputation comments were, unfortunately, lost in this process.
• Members now have the ability to "Like" the post of another member. This function the same as Reputation, but rather than everyone having their own point value (e.g. Misty can give/take 45 Reputation Points, and libregkd can give/take 12 Reputation Points), the value of any one member's Like, regardless of join date, posts, Likes, and ranking, is the same -- 1 Like.
• There is no way to currently give out "negative Likes".
• The staff is currently looking into upgrading Likes into a more expanded system. While this may not be done for some time, you can read more about the system we are considering by clicking here, and be sure to look out for updates as they come!

Signatures

• Registered members are only allowed one image in their signature; Premium members are allowed two. In the case of multiple sprites/small images in a signature, it may be interpreted on a case by case basis, but a staff member has the right to request removal if they deem it excessive. Click here to see an example of a small sprite.
• Your entire signature (including images, text, etc.) may not exceed a length of 500 pixels and a width of 700 pixels. Click here to see an example of a signature of the maximum size.
• Embedded videos are not allowed in signatures, even if they are hidden under spoiler tags.
• Only one .GIF (moving image) is allowed per signature. Said .GIF may not exceed 1000KB for Registered Members, and 1200KB for Premium Members. We also ask that you take other members into consideration and do not use images that flash or move rapidly.

Content rules also apply to signatures; exceedingly violent or sexual signatures are not welcome. For more in depth information, please read more here: http://kh-vids.net/threads/forum-rules.144101/

Punishment Process

Currently, we have three levels of punishment for behavior that breaks our rules.

1. A verbal warning, usually in the form of a staff member sending you a message asking you to tone down or alter your conduct.
2. A profile infraction.
3. A ban, in which you will be unable to access the site.
   • Depending upon your actions, a ban can be anywhere from a day to forever.

Your punishment is up to the staff member(s) dealing with the situation; if it is something truly terrible, we may skip one or more of these steps.

​

The following actions are usually ground for temporary bans or timeouts:

• Alternate accounts or account sharing
• Excessive warnings or infractions
• Bullying

You will be considered for a permanent ban if:

• You are a permanently banned user on a new account
• You have faced one or more temporary bans and have failed to alter your behavior
• You post any sort of pornographic content
• You threaten to hack the site or any user
• You hack the site or another user's account
• Any other serious offense

If you feel you have been unfairly punished or treated by a staff member, by all means contact another staff member via personal conversation or instant message.

​

Ban Appeals

Permanently banned members are allowed to appeal their ban after at least nine months have passed since the original ban. If you are interested in appealing, please email contact[at]kh-vids[dot]net with the following information:

• Old username
• MSN or Skype address at which you can be reached (if none, email will suffice)
• Reason behind your permanent ban

Upon receipt of your email, the staff will consider the appeal request; if the appeal is approved for consideration, we will begin investigating your previous ban. If the appeal is rejected for consideration, you may appeal again in one year.

​

Certain bans may not be appealed. If you were permanently banned for any of the following actions, please do not bother with an appeal request. You will be turned down.

• Hacking, attacking, or intentionally harming the site
• Being banned again, after an appeal
• Creating alternate accounts with malicious intentions or actions that would directly harm the system
• Posting illegal pornography (e.g. child porn and loli)

Further details regarding the process and your return to the site will be outlined by the staff when you reach that point in the appeal process.
