Welcome to the family and we look forward to getting to know you.
1. Above all, respect each other. While we realize that discussions may get heated, vulgar language or name calling cannot be tolerated. Masked vulgar language (ie, w*rd, rul*s, etc) is considered vulgar.
2. As long as the threads and post are kept civilized in discussion, they will remain open. If a member is deemed to be getting out of bounds or breaking the rules. He will be given a public warning. After that he will be banned from the site at the discretion of the administrators.
3. If a moderator removes your thread or post, contact that moderator by PM to request their reasons, or to explain yourself. Moderators are only human and there may have been a misunderstanding. Threatening a moderator will not be tolerated.
4. Do not use posts to correct another poster's spelling or grammar - this is rude and unnecessary. If you do not understand what they are saying, ask them to clarify.
5. Do not interrupt a thread 's content direction to bring attention to another agenda or product.
6. Remember that use of ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IN A POST is the same as shouting. It is best not to use all capital letters as it is difficult to read and is intrusive to readers.
7. What may not be in a post is as follows: Material that is threatening, harassing, or abusive to any party. Content that is defamatory, hateful, potentially slanderous, or in violation of any law is not tolerated. Knowingly posting false or misleading material will result in moderator action.
NOTE: This includes Racial attacks, and racial slurs of any kind, directed at a fellow member or not.
8. No commercial threads are advertisements, without permission from a admin.
9. Asking for money, donations, or to offer giveaways, drawings, or the like is prohibited without administrative permission. We realize there are a lot of good causes and good to come from of them, but insist on verifying their legitimacy as well as benefit to the organization of the event they aim to benefit.
Moderator actions:
A moderator may find that a thread or post has violated a rule and will either edit it or remove it. In some cases, this may be accompanied by a warning to the poster and, in extreme cases, banning of the member and his IP. Banning may be temporary or permanent depending on the offensive. Appeals may be made by PM or email to administration and then a final decision will be made.
You can be banned without warning if you put the site at risk by a admin.
