| Subject: Rules About the Forum Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:22 am | |
| General Rules While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate invective (abusive speech) and/or harassment, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts, or posting mis-information in the title of a thread . Our decision is final in these matters.
Name-calling is invective. Deriding an opinion is not. You may attack an opinion as idiotic, but you may not call a member an idiot. There's a difference. One is meant to attack an opinion, the other attacks the member themself. HOWEVER, IF YOU RESPOND TO INVECTIVE WITH INVECTIVE, YOU LOSE YOUR RIGHT TO SEEK MODERATOR INTERVENTION.
This forum is equipped with a word censor. If the censor replaces your word with ***, please do not type around the censor by using dollar signs for an S or any similar method. The use of terms like 'F'in', OMFG, 'F' this, or other abbreviations is considered just another form of avoiding the censor.
No affiliate links are allowed, unless if approved by administrator. We do not tolerate ANY harassing, insulting or disrespecting against forum Members or Staff. No website promotion, unless approved by administrator, and only in your signature. NO SPAM Promotion.
Posting Rules Racist, sexist, hateful or any other post that the Staff of this forum determine to be not suitable will be deleted and the member may be banned. Posts should be made in the correct forum and also be on topic. If you inadvertently double post, please take a moment to delete the extra post by clicking on "Edit". Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
To avoid arguments, no Politics and no Religious discussions. This forum is not about the political parties, individual politicians, or religious affiliation. We reserve the right to remove posts we deem offensive without notice. Any topics/posts of these types will be deleted.
On line TYPING IN ALL CAPS is considered shouting and is frowned on in most cases. Excessive shouting will be deleted. Repeated offenses could lead to being banned from the forum.
Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
Signature Rules A maximum of 4 lines in your signature. No more than 2 links can be used and must be first approved by administrator (if trying to promote website). Font size cannot exceed 3. Any website you advertise in your signature must be owned by you and approved by administrator first. No images allowed. The Staff of this forum will determine if you signature is acceptable, if not, we shall contact you (via e-mail) and first give you a warning. If not changed within the time specified, we will give you a second warning to change it. If still not changed, we will ban you.
Private Message and Email Rules Same rules as forum posting
No monetary value shall be traded for nothing. No buying or selling accounts, gold, items in any games for actual money.
Violation of any of rules can result in your account and IP address being banned from our Community. Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time, without notice. Any and all rule changes will be posted, and all members are expected to abide by any and all rule-changes from the moment those rule-changes are posted. It is the responsibility of the member to read announcements and abide by the forum rules. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for breaking them.
If you have any questions please contact the forum Administrator or Staff. | |
