You may NOT post or place in a signature any material that:
# Attacks or insults others on the board. Feel free to debate the idea, but do not turn your disagreement into an attack upon the poster or any person or group.
# Engages in name-calling, harassment, or threats.
# Contains obscenity, vulgarity, profanity or is sexually explicit . Though we do have a filter in place to catch unintentional obscenity from time to time, this is not a license to abuse it. Bypassing the obscenity filter by using letter, number, or character combinations that allow the obscene or inappropriate word to appear is unacceptable as well.
# Disparages any religion, race, nation, gender, or sexual orientation.
# Is considered inappropriate for children 13 or over as governed by general standards of decency in the United States of America.
# Infringes upon anyone's privacy rights.
Furthermore, you may NOT:
# Make multiple posts on the same subject for the purpose of getting attention paid to your issue.
# Post comments in threads for the purpose of drawing attention to another thread on a different subject.
# "Bump" or “/sign” threads.
# Cross-post the same topic to multiple forums or the same message to multiple threads.
# Make replies to posts that do not pertain to or are irrelevant to the original topic.
# Troll the forums. "Trolling" is defined as: Posting with the intent of stirring up trouble or to incite disruption. An example of trolling would be posting to a thread without the intent to provide constructive suggestions or comments and instead making disruptive comments.
# Post topics addressed directly to another member instead use the forums private messaging system for conversations between two members.
Action that we might take in regard to a post in violation of these rules and will vary depending upon the transgression:
# Editing of the post or signature.
# Removal of the ability to have a signature or Link and image posting privileges.
# Deletion of the post/thread.
# Closing of the thread.
# A Warning that is attached to a member's account.
# Account Suspension (A temporary suspension where members will be unable to access this forum until the suspension has ended)
# Banishment (Account will be permanently banned from this forum)
# Legal Action (I.e. contacting law enforcement personnel in regard to a threat)
Those who violate the rules of the boards may or may not receive any warning before action is taken. In the event that a warning is given, the warning will be recorded and may result in further action should the member show a pattern of engaging in prohibited conduct.
Finally: These rules are subject to change and maybe changed with or without prior notice.
