Message board rules:
Please read and follow the below rules.
If you have any questions about any of the rules, please feel free to contact the Administration at any time.
- Be Nice - We treat everyone equally here.
- Flames - Flaming topics/posts will be moderated at the discretion of the staff. If the person proves him/herself as a non-productive member, they will be dealt with accordingly.
- We do use a swear filter. Please use your best judgment when posting.
- Adult Content - It is not acceptable anywhere. No pr0n!
- Illegal Content - You may not post any content that is illegal including, but not limited to, copyright material, serial numbers, links to sites hosting pirated or illegal material, or other proprietary information without obtaining the prior written consent of the owner of such proprietary rights. Exceptions to this standard are covered by the US Federal law regarding fair use, 17 USCS 107, and related case law, which holds that only partial excerpts of copyrighted material may be reproduced, and only as necessary for criticism or comment.
- Harmful or Malicious Links - You may not post any links that result in multiple popups, moving the browser window, installs any third-party 'adware/scumware' or 'software', or any other device that takes control of the browser window, or prevents the user from closing it.
- Privacy - You will not violate a person's privacy by publishing any information against will that is private and personal. This includes, but is not limited to, ANY e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or residential addresses.
- Personal Attacks - They will not be tolerated anywhere on the board. Topics and/or posts containing personal attacks will be closed, edited or deleted. If any member continues to disrupt the message board this way, appropriate actions will be taken.
- Closed topics - If one of your topics is closed or deleted, please do not start another thread dedicated to why was your post locked, or even another new post regarding the same subject matter or to garner 'support'. If you have a problem with your post being closed, please contact a member of the Administration with a private message describing the problem.
- Attn: Threads - These type of threads are not necessary, and it is also more likely you will reach the person you are looking for with a Private Message. PM pop-ups do work if they are enabled. When the person you PM'd logs on, they will get a pop-up with your message. If you want to post a thread for everyone to see don't use Attn: or Hey so and so. Be a little more creative. If you just want one person to see your thread then a PM should be used.
- No Crude Posts - Even if you find these types of posts funny, they are offensive to many people. Please do not post about bodily functions, sexual experiences or personal problems. If you have a network of friends here, please feel free to use the Private Messaging system for that kind of material. It should not be posted publicly.
- AIM/IM/PM/E-mail/Quotes - AIM, IM, PM, or e-mail converstaions should not be posted anywhere in the forums. Previous attempts at posting this do nothing more than cause problems. When quoting, it is not necessary for people to include the ENTIRE post when referring only to a specific part. It is also NOT necessary to post a picture as part of a quote. Change it to a link instead.
If you feel that you are not being treated fairly by any of the staff or the members, please contact the Administration. |
