Forum Rules
In order for everyone to get the most enjoyment from our forums we do ask that all who would like to post messages follow the rules and guidelines outlined below.
Rule 1: Be Polite
This seems obvious, however, many can sometimes forget that common courtesy goes a long way to lending respect to both you and your opinions.
It also should go without saying that swearing, profanity, sexual references, etc. should not used. Remember that we may have readers of all ages.
Rule 2: Stay on Topic
While it may at first seem harmless to post a bit about off topic (OT) subjects, it can become a slippery slope. If others join in on OT posts then soon everybody has sent the discussion threads on so many tangents that it is difficult to follow the original topic
Rule 3: No Spam
SPAM kills and refers to invasive, unsolicited information. The posting of advertisements for unrelated web pages or services is simply not acceptable.
What happens if the rules are broken?
If posts occur that break any of the above rules the moderators or admin may take some or all of the following actions, often without warning:
- Threads that get long because they have wandered off topic will be locked. People can still read the thread, however no new posts can be added. If you'd like to continue your ideas start a new thread with an appropriate title in the correct forum.
- Posts that contain profanity, insults, blatant attempts at baiting a flame war, racial slurs, etc. will be locked/edited/deleted. Repeatedly posting in such a manner may result in temporary or permanent suspension of posting privileges.
- Spam posts (ads, attempts at attention, etc.) will be deleted on site. Repeat offenders may receive temporary or permanent suspension of posting privileges.
Posting on this forum (or any Internet forum, for that matter) is a privilege, NOT A RIGHT. Please treat it that way. If your posts are locked, edited or deleted due to one of the issues outlined above do not be offended or take it personally. Evaluate what you posted and think about why it might have been. If you have any questions as to why your post was locked or you lost posting rights, please feel free to contact any forum moderator or admin.
