| Subject: THE RULES (Please Follow) Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:03 pm | |
| 1) Respect the beliefs, ideals, opinions, hobbies, and identities of other members. This is by far the most important rule of the site, but also the vaguest. Basically, intolerance of any kind will not be permitted, including (but not limited to) age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, nationality, political views, or other characteristics.
2) Flame wars will not be tolerated. A flame war is a rapid, heated argument, and usually occurs when everyone involved has run out of constructive points. These sorts of arguments have no useful purpose, and only serve to hurt feelings, so any thread determined to be a flame war will be locked, deleted, or otherwise dealt with.
3) No excessive spamming. This is a hard rule to define, especially since we have a forum especially for, well, spamming. However, the spam forum is merely for entertainment value, and is not to be abused (posts to it don't count toward your overall post count anyway). So, if you make an excessive number of irrelevant, off-topic, or useless (ie, blank, random characters, irrelevant images) posts in non-spam topics, disciplinary actions will be taken.
4) No public accusations of staff misconduct. Our staff members go through a rigorous training and screening process, and most have been members since the site was founded. They are highly trusted to perform their duties in a professional manner without bias, and they are required to be as fair as possible. If you have an issue with the behaviour or performance of a staff member, please do not post about it publicly. Such accusations are very serious, and will be treated as such by the administrators. Instead, send an email or private message to one of the administrators, and your issue will be handled confidentially by us. We want to make sure everyone feels welcome here, but we also put a large amount of effort into recruiting and training the best staff members we can.
5) You MUST have a valid email address on file at all times! This is important! We will never spam you or sell your email address, but to keep the site running smoothly (and keep bounced notification messages to a minimum), the email address in your account must be accurate. This also means that we Don't allow known "throwaway" email domains to be used when registering, or when changing email addresses. Additionally, due to long-standing technical issues with AOL's mail servers, email addresses at aol.com, aim.com, and netscape.com are also disallowed.
6) One account per person In order to keep database size under control, you may only have one account (unless approved by an administrator) as long as you're a member here. Your display name can be changed at any time by you, and an administrator can change your username if needed, but you are not permitted to create a second account for any reason. If, for some reason, you are unable to login to your existing account, creating a new one is not an acceptable alternative. | |
