Report Thread Function:
If you see a post you wish to report for offensive or inappropriate content, please pm one of the Moderating team who will decide the best course of action.
Forum Rules:
Please take time to read the following and observe them, continual failure to do so might involve warnings being issued by the Staff.
* Be polite to others, flaming, rudeness, swearing, SHOUTING and causing nuisance or offense is not tolerated. Obscenity, derogatory terms and racial abuse will also not be tolerated. This applies to people's avatars too.
* Advertising or trading of any miniatures is only allowed in The Market Place. Advertising for anything other than wargaming miniatures or wargame hobby related products will result in the threads being locked.
* Single Ebay links are allowed (it's up to the individual whether they choose to buy anything), but not relentless advertising of Ebay shops.
* Please respect the Staff and your fellow members by only posting in English so we can all understand.
* Spam of any kind is not tolerated. If it's your first post and its spam we will assume you are a spam bot and your account will be locked/ deleted. If you feel hard done by just re-register and make your first few posts things that could not be taken as spam.
* Advertising the copying or mould making of original models (for the purposes of mass production) would be in breach of somebody's Intellectual Property Rights and/ or Copyrights and so is not advised. Any such threads may be locked or deleted.
Signatures and Avatars:
* Signatures and Avatars may not contain offensive words or images.
* Animated GIF's in signatures are not permitted.
Forum Etiquette:
The CDO Forum is a place where people can relax and chat about all things Chaos Dwarf. There are several things members can to do try and keep the forum running smoothly.
* If a topic has not had any replies for at least a month then let it slowly slide down the page. Generally it's not a good idea to dredge up old topics unless you have something new to add.
* Resist the urge to flame! If you feel a topic has escalated to the point of continuing arguments to no happy end then don't keep arguing! Try and get the thread back on topic or ignore it. Persistent arguing to no useful end will probably result in the thread being locked anyway.
* Don't use excessive txt spk or other shorthand ways of writing. It's hard to read and is completely unnecessary.
* Use punctuation.
* Avoid making the vast majority of your posts one-liners, especially the sort that add very little constructively. Continually doing this will probably get you banned.

Stance of CDO on slavery:
In the wider context of the Warhammer world the Chaos Dwarfs are considered an evil race. They openly take slaves, sacrificing many to their dark god or working them to death in search of wealth. Slavery underpins the Chaos Dwarfs as a race, allowing their empire to function. Such things are written countless times and cannot be disputed.
As such, discussion of capturing/ sacrificing slaves should be taken in this context. It is assumed that members are acting 'in character' when referring to such things.
The Warhammer world is a fantasy world, and a dark one at that. Therefore members should not bring it out of context and argue about the moral issues surrounding slavery in the real world in any shape or form (historical or modern day).
If potential members are not prepared to accept this stance, they might want to consider carefully whether they join. There are more 'virtuous' armies out there, like High Elves or Dwarfs.

Slaves:
Everyone knows Chaos Dwarfs deal in slaves. Whether it is from Orc bosses, or Ogre Tyrant, if you want the services of a Chaos Dwarf you pay them with slaves!
I am happy to announce that CDO's slave plugin is now working. The only people who can give out slaves are Admins and Mods. They will be able to reward people for good posts, good etiquette, for winning painting competitions, or anything else! Users will also gradually earn slaves for being members, you may not even know why! We have decided to keep it a mystery to reduce abuse. And look out! If you are caught being mean or nasty to fellow members, the staff may see fit to punish you by sacrificing your slaves!
It's pretty simple, be a positive member of the community and you will earn slaves, be a negative member of the community and you will lose slaves. Slaves are good for bragging rights, as well as a sense of accomplishment! Once you earn your own slaves you can donate them to other users, or even pay users to make you things (like avatars!).
Currently, slaves will be earned quite slowly, so don't be too worried if you don't have any!
Let the slave trade begin!
----------------------------
Medals:
We the admin team have decided that we need a way of recognizing the outstanding contributions of our members, and the reputation system just wasn't good enough. So what did we do? Medals, that's what!
As of right now, we have five medals which can be won. These will go in your profile, right underneath where it says your reputation.
The Golden Hat, which will go to winners of our painting contests.
The Wiki Award, which will be presented to whoever is deemed to have made significant contributions to our wiki.
The Bronze, Silver and Gold awards, which are given to members who have collected, painted and subsequently posted pictures of Chaos Dwarf armies totaling 1000 points, 2000 points and 4000 points respectively.
The Showcase Medal, being given to user whom have their armies featured on the main CDO website.
Each year members will be nominated for their efforts in 5 categories: Best Attitude, Best General, Best Hobbyist, Best Contributor, and Best Overall Member.
These medals are given to the winners of the Artisan's Contest.
These medals are awarded to members who take the time to add their painted models to our Image Gallery!
Contributors to the Word of Hashut Webzine will receive this medal!
Long time hosts and helpers of the Chaos Dwarf Radio Podcast will receive this medal.
If you feel that someone is worthy of a medal, or you think that something else is worthy of a medal being given, send me a PM to make your nominations.
