Few Rules
« Thread Started on Aug 12, 2004, 4:41am »

Take care to read these, please.

Rules, in brief.

1. No Spamming
2. No Flaming
3. No Pornographic Imagry
4. No Double Posting
5. Always Use Eachothers Screen Names
6. Respect Your Staff
7. No Advertising
8. Post In The Right Place

Rules, in detail.

1. No Spamming

Many don't really know what spam is, and yes, it's difficult to define. Different message boards will define it in different ways, and here is our definition.
Spam us useless, totally off topic rubbish. We consider that a post with "lol" on it's own to be spam, because that it just pointless, and not worth posting. However, if you're one worded answer, or perhaps even smiley is considered relavent by the staff member who reads it (no one else) then it is under his/her descression wheather or not to consider it spam.
You may be given a spam post in due time, but it is your job to spam there, and only there. It will not be pinned as a sticky, so if you want to keep it where you can find it, it will have to be posted in a lot.
Spamming anywhere else but in that topic will result in a few warnings, then a temporary ban, then a ban for life.

2. No Flaming

Flaming is basically argueing. We shall tollerate small arguements, as this is a discussion forum, it's expected. Full scale arguements with too much swearing (or cursing for our American friends) will not be tollerated, and will either result in a temporary ban for both members (after warning of course) and/or the topic being closed.

3. No Pornographic Imagry

Simple really. Yes, it's in the terms of servise you all agreed to whilst signing up, don't post it. You will recieve a lovely kick up the backside if you do...more commonly known as banned for life

4. No Double Posting

It's another easy one. There isn't really a punnishment (unless you do it all the time) because it's too easy to do by accident. If you would like to add to a post you have made previously, click the modify button and make your changes there.

5. Always Use Eachothers Screen Names

This is because just because you know who "Bob" is, no one else will, so keep to the screen names.

6. Respect Your Staff

Many argue with staff for descisions they make, but please, try not to. Believe it or not we do know what we are doing, and although we wont always set the best example, we do put a lot of time and effort into making this forum a nice place to be, so just having a lil respect is great.

7. No Advertising

Self explainatry really. A like to a funny site will be allowed, as it's benificial to us all. The only place you may advertise you websites is in your sigs.

8. Try And Post In The Right Place.

Hard as it is to find where you should talk about certain things, make sure you think about it carefully before you go posting someting in the wrong forum. Although your post can be moved to the right place, the staff would rather you just put it there in the first place, because we're lazy.

Ok thats all for your rules, just remember you also have the TOS to keep to, but that's what these rules are here to enforce.
Thanks for your time everyone.
