Forum Rules

[Richard]

I'm working on a set of rules for the forums to ensure that this place won't get out a hand. I'll probably post them up sometime tomorrow.

So far the rules for most of the forum will be something similar to ISSF, while the off topic section will be no holds barred.

I am open to any input or suggestions regarding the rules, post in this thread.

So far this is the bare frame of the forum rules.

1. Spam is not allowed. Posting of advertisements for porn, RX drugs, or the like is prohibited.

2. Negative racial and hateful comments are not allowed and will not be tolerated, even in Off-Topic Discussion.

3. Vulgar language, although not against the rules, is frowned upon in most forums, except in the Off-Topic Forum where no holds are barred except for rule number 2. Remember not only adults frequent the forums.

4. Sexual or explicit images and comments are not allowed in most forums, except in the Off-Topic Discussion.

5. Off Topic Discussion is no holds barred, except for rule number 2, otherwise anything goes.

6. Blatant trolling is not allowed. Do not maliciously harass other members or purposely cause trouble on the forums. If you have nothing constructive or positive to offer, do not post.

7. Post topics in their appropriate section. Off-Topic or misc. threads belong in Off-Topic Discussion.

8. Avatars and signatures must be kept clean. Do not upload or create avatars and signatures that would be deemed offensive.

9. Keep thread titles clean. Some of our visitors and visiting this site from work/school. If you start a thread that may be deemed offensive, include a NSFW (not safe for work) tag in the title.

10. Rules may change at the Administrator's discretion.


Punishments for violation of these rules include warnings, thread/post deletions, temporary bans, and permanent bans. In extreme cases an IP ban my also be imposed. Punishment will be delegated by the Administrator and Moderators as they deem fit.
