Forum rules:
1) Swearing: These boards are generally o.k with swearing. There really aren't any banned words around here, but still that doesn't give you the right to go "Fucking off" everyone. In fact, swearing towards people is an offensive action.
In short, feel free to curse if you find it necessary, but please don't go spamming it nor go directing it towards your fellow board members.
2) Flaming: We won't tolerate this at all. You know the old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all..." Well, that's pretty much how it is. Especially offensive are any insults relating to race/ethnicity. None of this will be tolerated.
3) Disruptive posting: This is really annoying...there is no need for it. Such things are posting in all caps, using alternating letters (low case/uppcase), and double posting. Just use common sense: If it seems like it may be tough to read, fix it. We don't need endless bumping either.
The edit option makes this whole idea (of double posting) unessessary.
4)Mods: These people are here to ensure that the board is kept in good shape. They are your friends, and obey them when they tell you to do something.
On the other hand, if you feel that the mod has been unfair, file a complaint with the admin or another mod. Mods are just people too remember, and do make mistakes.
5) Warning system: Just like in baseball, after you take 3 "strikes" you're out. If you violate any of the above, you are liable to receive a strike, and after your third offense, you will be banned/ suspended/ etc...
