1.) No posting links/hints/suggestions/etc for warez/serials/no-cd cracks/keygens/etc. This includes using virtual CD programs or other things to get around copy-protection. There are other places on the Internet where you can get help with those kinds of things. Any post containing such things will be deleted or edited and the poster will receive a warning. Continued posting of such things will result in a ban. This includes file sharing of copyrighted materials as well as linking/mentioning sites/sources whose primary purpose is to share these materials.
2.) Personal attacks are frowned upon. If you have to resort to such behavior, perhaps you belong someplace else. It is understandable that some discussions can get heated (such as in the Religion and Politics forum) but try to maintain civility. If you cannot, you may be subject to censure or other disciplinary measures.
3.) Do not use image tags to display pictures in a thread if you don't own, control, have permission, or are responsible for the server on which the images are hosted. Posting links to images is fine. We don't want to use up other people's bandwidth. Please don't make the moderators have to edit your posts.
4.) Many of the individual forums have specific rules (such as the Bargain Basement) that need to be followed. These will be posted as announcements at the top of the forums for your reading ease.
5.) Do not post the same thread in multiple forums at the same time. Duplicate threads will be deleted. This does not include posting a topic that someone else posted months ago. While usually considered bad form, this certainly isn't worth moderating excessively.
6.) Try to find the correct forum to post your thread.
7.) Signing up for multiple accounts is lame. Just don't do it.
8.) Remember that this is a family site and try to post accordingly. Porn links/images are not acceptable and in the memorable words of Justice Stewart, "I know it when I see it." Also, please refrain from using profanity on the site. This is a public place with readers of all ages, so act appropriately. Posts with profanity will be modified or moderated.
9.) Signature guidelines: Signatures must not exceed 100px in height. This includes both images and text. For reference, five lines of standard size text is a little under 100px in height. Animation images in signatures are not allowed, this includes animated smilies. The width of images in signatures must not be overly large (don't break the page in standard size browser resolutions). Signature content must conform to the other forum rules and is also up to the discretion of the forum administrators.
10.) No trolling, spamming, or other deliberate obnoxious behavior that is judged to be detrimental to the forums. This is, of course, a judgment call by the moderators and administrators.
11.) If your post has been edited by a mod, do not re-edit your post. Talk to the moderator or an admin before doing so.
Finally, the moderators are here to help keep the forum running smoothly. They aren't here to make your forum life miserable. If you have a problem with the actions of a moderator, please talk to the moderator or one of the admins through the private messaging (PM) system. We will do all that we can to work the situation out. | | |
