Site Rules Effective Date: Since forever, or at least since we thought these up.

1. Respect the Ponies
   All users must show the utmost respect to all Ponies, regardless of their type, color, or level of sparkle. Any form of Pony disrespect, including but not limited to, saying "ponies are lame" or "why is this site so pony-centric?" will result in an immediate, permanent ban. The Ponies deserve better.

2. No Hoarding Ponies
   You are not allowed to hoard Ponies. If you come across a rare or particularly adorable Pony, you must share it with the community. Failure to do so will result in your Pony privileges being revoked. Sharing is caring, especially when it comes to Ponies.

3. All Snack Breaks Must Include Ponies
   When taking a snack break while using the Site, you must incorporate Ponies into the experience. Whether it's using a Pony-themed napkin, sipping from a Pony cup, or just whispering "For Equestria" before biting into your snack, Pony involvement is non-negotiable.

4. Ponify Everything
   All usernames, avatars, and profiles must be Ponified. This means your username should include at least one horse pun, your avatar should be Pony-related, and your profile must clearly state your favorite Pony (and why). If you fail to comply, we reserve the right to randomly assign you a Pony persona—no complaining allowed.

5. No Negativity Allowed
   This is a happy place, filled with sunshine, rainbows, and Ponies. Any negative comments, complaints, or general bad vibes will be immediately redirected to a page filled with motivational quotes from Pinkie Pie. You will stay there until your mood improves.

6. Brony Inclusion
   All Bronies are welcome and must be treated with the utmost respect. Whether you're a seasoned Brony or new to the herd, everyone is expected to bond over their mutual love for Ponies. Failure to comply will result in an intervention led by Twilight Sparkle.

7. No Unauthorized Pony Adoptions
   If you find a lost or stray Pony on the Site, you are not authorized to adopt it without proper clearance from the Site Owner. Unauthorized adoptions will result in you having to return the Pony along with a sincere apology and a gift basket (Pony-themed, of course).

8. Pony Fan Art is Encouraged
   We love Pony fan art! All users are encouraged to create and share their Pony masterpieces. However, any artwork depicting Ponies in non-canon scenarios (such as Ponies attending a rock concert or Ponies at a beach party) must be labeled as "Alternative Pony Universe" (APU) content. We respect the lore, after all.

9. No Pony Left Behind
   If you see a Pony in need, you must help. This includes Ponies that have lost their sparkle, Ponies stuck in a loop of “Winter Wrap-Up,” and Ponies who are just feeling a little down. We are a community that helps each other, and that includes our Ponies.

10. Rule Violation Consequences
    Violating any of these rules may result in one or more of the following:

    A stern lecture from Princess Celestia.
    A temporary suspension where you can only interact with background Ponies.
    Forced participation in a Pony trivia contest, where you must win to regain full access to the Site.
