Rule 1: Users may be warned, formally or informally; suspended, short-term or long-term; or banned at moderator discretion. We try very hard not to do these things gratuitously. These rules are a guideline, so that we won't have to do them at all.
Rule 2: Respect other users. Do not make attacks, either in the forums or through Private Messages. Challenging ideas is fine, but do not attack individuals or groups. Racist, sexist, homophobic (including the use of "gay" as a pejorative) and other slurs are prohibited.
Rule 3: Respect our purpose and structure. Post in the appropriate forum. Do not bring up the mod status of moderators in threads where they are participating as posters in an unofficial capacity.
Rule 4: Have fun, make friends not enemies. I'm sure this rule is very self explanatory.
Rule 5: Respect the audience. Do not post pornography and/or anything that can be considered inappropriate graphic sexual content in any format; this includes detailed descriptions of sex acts without the proper labeling. Although this site is Rated 'R' We ask that you do give a warning so that our younger audience knows not to view such scenes. Do not post links to pornography or otherwise inappropriate sexually explicit sites.
Rule 6: Respect privacy. Do not post for public viewing any emails or Private Messages unless you have the explicit written permission of each person involved in the exchange. Do not use posts or parts of posts from these forums for commercial ends without the express permission of each person involved.
Rule 7: Respect our time, Some of the Admins have Jobs outside of the fourm and classes to attend. So bare with us if something is needed to be done. Do not spam the forums. Do not spam individual users through Private Messages.
Rule 8: Respect your account. Do not share your account with other individuals, as you will be held responsible for any rules violations that occur under your account. Do not impersonate other users, past or present. Do not impersonate the staff.
Rule 9: Respect our decisions. The moderation team reserves the right to warn, suspend, or permanently ban users judged to be acting against the spirit of the rules, even users conforming to the letter. All moderator decisions may be appealed to the administration. Appeals against moderator decisions should be made through PMs to one of the admins. Do not respond to the moderator action in the thread where it was posted.
_______________________________________________________
If you break said rules above, are reported by another member or an administrator sees you doing something your not supposed to you will receive a warning. If it reoccurs you will be warned again as we will give you the benefit of the doubt. If it happens a third time you may be suspended from pming,posting or even banned if it is a serious offence.
To show that you have read the rules, please post this under:
I, (Your name) Agree with the rules set by the administrators and agree to take my punishment as seen fit.
Thank you The Admin Team
