Details:
Rule 01
Do not post images or links containing offensive content.
Offensive content is largely relative to the area you live in. However, this forum will consider pornography, hate, death, and mutilation offensive.
Moderators will use their discretion in deciding what needs to be removed.
Rule 02
Do not use offensive language.
Offensive language is largely relative to the area you live in.
Moderators will use their discretion in deciding whether a word is offensive. Offensive words will be removed from posts. Persistent use of such language may result in post removal.
Rule 03
Do not spam.
Spam is ...
... a post with the same phrase copied and pasted multiple times.
... posting in all caps.
... the same post posted multiple times.
... the same topic posted multiple times.
... a post completely unrelated to the topic it was posted in.
... a topic created solely to boost post counts.
... a topic about "anything".
... quote pyramids.
Spam will be removed. Any replies to spam will be removed.
Moderators will use their discretion in deciding what is spam.
Rule 04
Do not post the same topic more than once.
If you wish to have your topic moved to another sub-forum, send a private message to an active moderator linking to the topic and asking for the move.
Duplicate topics will either be closed or deleted.
Rule 05
Do not delete a topic you created when other people have posted in it.
Other members spend their precious time typing out replies to your topics. Deleting these topics tells those members that their time was worthless and they may stop replying to other topics you create.
Once your topic has replies, it no longer solely belongs to you. It belongs to the entire forum. Let the moderators decide whether a topic needs to be deleted or not.
Rule 06
Do not delete a topic that has been closed by a moderator and repost that topic.
A moderator closed the topic instead of deleting it for a reason.
In some cases a moderator will state that a new topic about the same subject may be created. This does not mean the closed topic can be deleted.
A topic will be closed once it reaches 1500 posts. A topic closed in this way may be recreated unless a moderator states otherwise.
Rule 07
When posting, please stick to the topic.
Off topic posts will be removed.
If you wish to discuss something that doesn't relate to the topic, create a new topic.
Rule 08
You may only bump your topic after 24 hours
posting before that will be considered spam.
