There is a Terms of Service thing that we on RoO have to deal with appropriately. Apparently the 'previous' Admins have brought up the topic with a couple of members and have been ignored on the subject and I think it's something that should be announced.

If your forum allows the roleplaying of sexual activity, drug usage, excessive violence, etc. you are violating the ProBoards TOS.
This is not a "new rule" - it has always been a part of the ProBoards Terms of Service, and is now clearly outlined in the Community Guidelines as well.
Threads marked as "M", "Mature", "R", "NC-17," etc. as well as boards/sub-boards/hidden boards/password-protected boards for this sort of content still count as violations. The terms apply to any content currently on your forum, regardless of where it is posted, and disclaimers of any type do not negate its effects.
Since the recent rule changes, all forums are now actively being reviewed by Support forum moderators, and are being reported to ProBoards, Inc. as necessary. Please make any appropriate and necessary changes to your forums.
Update 05.09.2010: This does include PMs as well -- ALL content must be PG-13.
