- Videos linked from video hosting sites like Youtube will be accepted if they are known to be published to the public domain by the copyright owner.

- No "trolling" is allowed on Ax. The definition of trolling is when someone states an obviously upsetting comment on a message board with the apparent purpose of luring other people into posting inflammatory responses. One clue of a "trolling" comment is when someone posts the initial comment but then does not continue the conversation.
- Fight challenges cannot be made on Ax unless they are OFFICIAL challenges made by one fighter toward another fighter through their management teams. Official fight challenges should be posted in their own topic and should not be used to derail an existing topic. If the moderation does not feel that the fight challenge is realistic, then the topic will be removed.
- Here are the rules for uploading photos to message or to profiles.
- No nude, semi-nude or overtly sexy photos are allowed
- No crude or offensive photos are allowed.
- The definition of what is crude or offensive hopefully is common sense, but will ultimately be defined by the moderators depending on the circumstances. Use your best judgement.
