FURTHERMORE . . .
Management (
Administrators,
Moderators and Anyone containing
Management Rights) reserves the right, in their sole discretion, to
reject,
refuse to post or
remove any posting, (including email) by you, or to
restrict,
suspend, or
terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at
any time,
for any or no reason, with or without prior notice, and without liability.
NO SPAMMING
-
You will be banned for posting scams, posting referral/affiliate links, continuously reposting threads that were intentionally deleted, promoting your new blog and or group, etc.
NO POINTLESS THREAD WASTING
This includes topics like...
'I'm bored',
'Hello I'm new',
'why was my thread deleted',
or 'LOOK AT MY NEW PICS'
These forums are for discussion, not attention seeking.
Any topic considered to be thread waste will be deleted.
NO DUPLICATE TOPICS
If a topic exists a couple of pages away covering the same issues then the new one will be deleted.
Take a moment and look through the first few pages to see if it has already been posted, if not then it should be okay to post. (nevertheless, if your topic is deleted for this reason and the other one is bumped, do not make a new topic asking why your thread was deleted.)
NO POSTING IN WRONG FORUM
There are plenty of areas for your posts and you are responsible for taking the time to make sure you know where they are at and what topic they should fall under. If your topic is in the wrong area, it will be moved to the proper area. Making additional topics to recreate your old one is spamming. Check first to make sure your old topic wasn't moved. Try to avoid off-topic posts in existing threads (this is why we have a Random area).
NO OBSCENITY
This includes
excessive swearing, posting of pornographic images, posting nudity or graphic images, posting inappropriate pics of minors (this includes minors posting pics of themselves), soliciting minors, flaming, racism, homophobia, sexist remarks or bigotry.
Flaming the mods WILL NOT be permitted.
NO CROSS-POSTING THE SAME TOPIC
Do not post the same topic in more than one forum.
This is treated as spam.
NO BLOGGING THREADS
This is a discussion forum and posting your blogs in the forum will not be tolerated.
ATTENTION SEEKING THREADS, LIFE STORIES ETC ARE MORE SUITED TO BLOG ENTRIES NOT THE FORUM. POST IT THERE.TROLLING
Internet Trolling: someone who posts controversial messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum,with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional or argumentative response.
This is a bannable offense in ANY forum.
** Trolling can be from a fake profile OR an actual profile.
(You don't have to be 'hiding' to be considered a troll.)
** The moderators will not hesitate just because you are a regular in another forum.
** Your 'fake' profiles can be tracked back to your 'real' profiles.
** If you are banned from one forum - you are banned from them all.
** If you are banned - No mod (including myself) will unban you.
This is the only warning you will get.
The moderators do not need help in regulating the forums by use of the white-out or such tactics, or by policing the forum and chastising users for their posts. Repeatedly posting in spam threads is just as bad as, or often worse, than posting a spam topic.
If there is an offending thread, send it to the mod (please include links) and
then abide by mod's decision. Mods are not always around, so don't get your panties in a bunch if something is not taken care of right away. We do not see everything, so if you have a problem don't become one by posting whiny threads about it . . . simply message the mod.
ALL DELETIONS ARE FINAL.
These rules have been stated to keep this forum clean and fun . . . if you
disrupt that goal you will feel the wrath of mod, if you abide by them,
you will live long and free.
