This forum is run under three basic rules (listed below) as well as some general guidelines.
The forum has a "three strikes your out" policy; If after being warned 3 times for inappropriate behavior / disregarding the forum rules your behavior continues - you will be banned from the message boards.
FORUM RULES
#1)Be respectful of other users
While debate and discussion is encouraged, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Attacking an opinion is fine. Attacking a user who posted a varying opinion is not.
#2) Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance.
Spam is the posting of advertisements, abusive, or unneeded messages on forums. You may think it only applies to junk mail or ads, but it also applies to the unnecessary posts that don't contribute any useful information to a topic. Simple rule: don't do it.Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed.
If you would like to post a link to a fan site, message board, news article, etc. please do so on the appropriate board.
#3) No Trolls / Trolling / Flamers / Flaming
A troll is a person who enters a forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, most often in the form of posting inflammatory, off-topic, or otherwise inappropriate messages. Topics posted by said individuals will be removed, and user will be warned.
Flaming is the posting of messages intended to insult and provoke.
GENERAL POSTING GUIDELINES:
Private messages are enabled on this board for your use- the same no harassment policy goes for PM's as much as it does for general board posting. Additionally PM's should be used for personal conversation / topics that are not directed at the board as a whole.
If you receive PM's you find inappropriate or harassing please let a mod / admin know.
Pretty basic stuff here as far as the rules / guidelines go. All are intended to keep the forums friendly, easy to navigate, and the discussion (more or less) on topic.
