Rules - Just enough to keep order and keep
the site enjoyable for ALL of our members
- No spamming--- posting the same thing repeatedly for the purpose
of annoying.. this one will get you banned, your ip banned, the book
thrown at you, buried under the jail, the key thrown
away...
Spamming is defined by unsolicited advertising. "Dr. Wangs Penis
enlarger" or "Get your long distance for .02¢ per minute!".
Spamming
is further defined as posting (same or different) threads multiple
times, with the spammer's intent, to do harm to the board. This
board is
being provided as a free 'toy' and any actions deemed 'harmful' to the
board, how it functions or the server will be banned and further
action will
be taken if deemed approiate.
- No flooding---Flooding is posting many threads/posts very
fast. There isn't a defined flood number because the rate it
effects the forum can depend on how many people are on at a time.
One example would be 25 threads in 5 minutes. Flooding,
especially when many members are on line slows the forum for all
members.
- No popping--- we've all seen threads that should go away
(so-and-so is a such-and-such), but let us know, if it needs to go it
can be edited... don't lock up the board for everyone...
- No nudity or porn--- you know what nudity is, this isn't a
porn site, and plenty of that is available elsewhere on the net. No nipples, no genitalia. I don't care what the reason,
nipples are nipples, genitalia is genitalia. If it's not covered,
it's against the rules. Any
questionable photo's need to be labeled as such in the title of the
thread for the consideration of others who do not wish to view those
pictures or
have the picture address show up on logs. Acceptable labeling
would include [ R ] or [adults only].
- No links to nudity or porn -- this is what email is for.
Share your finds with your friends via email.
- Keep the thread titles civilized--- use your common sense
on this one, but worst case, it will be put inside a thread, not gone,
if folks are talking in it...
- Most importantly, if you don't like a thread, don't participate
in it--- we're big boys and girls, aren't we? This is a post-at-your-own-risk kind of
place, don't expect administration to censor bad manners or rude
people, that's why we have an ignore feature. Someone's bad manners are
a reflection upon themselves. Illegal content WILL be reported to
authorities.
- As for fighting? No physical threats or threats to the
computers of others...Please refrain from personal attacks, and
remember that anything that is said in a post is open season on you, so
think before you post...otherwise, if you want to, go right ahead, if
you don't, don't...
- We are holding onto the possibility of time-out, but the only
thing we're planning on banning for is spamming or flooding...HOWEVER if you have to be addressed
more than once for behavior, you're
going to be banned or restricted. There is no pay here to
babysit
members or follow them around in threads to be sure they're behaving this is also what the ignore feature is for
and that is why privileges are revoked.
- Photo's may not exceed 675 pixels in width anywhere on the site
and not exceed 100px height in a signature. If you're unsure of
your photo size, right click on the photo, and choose properties.
The size is defined there. Photo's over 675 in width, or over 100
px tall in a signature will be removed. Photo's
over 675 stretch the forum for those on lower resolutions and make it
very very difficult to read.
