Cardinal Rules

-No trolling. Don't make posts that are inflammatory just to get people riled up. Substance is the key to not being labeled a troll.
-Attack the message, not the messenger. Criticize ideas, not people. Flaming will not be tolerated.
No member is allowed to engage in public personal attacks on any other member.
-Personal attacks are defined as Personal, Racial, Ethnic, and/or Gender based insults, slurs, or derisive comments.
-All complaints need to be communicated privately using either PM and/or EMail.
In the event of this, the offending post will be edited or removed, and the offending party shall receive no more than two (2) private warnings via PM and/or EMail, and one final Administration warning.
-If the behavior continues, the member will be banned permanently.
This will apply to all other community members as well.
-All we want is a little community kindness and no attacks. Let's all work together to accomplish this, eh?
-No porn. Simple rule. Administrator's judgment applies here.
-Do not post links or requests for warez
-Post in the right forum! Resist the temptation to post something off-topic because you think you'll get "better responses" in a particular forum.
-Respect the privacy of others. Do not post other's phone numbers, addresses, pictures, etc., without their permission.
-Do not place foul language in thread subjects. (Note this means you can curse here but please keep it to a minimum and out of subjects.)
-Blatant advertising of competing products is not tolerated.
-And of course, NO SPAMMING. No commercial-oriented posts, and no flooding with useless content.


Signature Guidelines

We have come up with some general signature guidelines, and these will be enforced.

-Signatures will be no longer than 5 lines.
-Signatures may contain a link to your personal site.
-Signatures are expected to follow the same guidelines as posts, which means no flaming, no swearing, no personal attacks, and no adult material.

If you are seen violating these guidelines you will be asked once privately to change your signature. If you fail to comply, we will change it for you. These guidelines should be easy to understand and easy to follow. Thanks for your understanding in this matter, and have a nice day.
