These are the rules of the board, please follow them. Thanks a bunch!
1. No Webspeak.
It is very important I make this clear - PLEASE NO WEBSPEAK. This includes: duz ne1 liek..., how r u, omg, wtf, etc... "lol" is okay - heck, even I use it from time to time.
Webspeak is okay for IM services, but this is a forum, so please keep in mind not all the members want to decipher what is being said. Now, if you are from another country, and your English isn't that good - that's acceptable, so not to worry. ;D
2. Postwhoring/Spam
You may be wondering.... what is postwhoring? Well, it is simply just leaving an 'lol' for a post or just making senseless topics. Please don't do that. Firstly, you'll lose respect on this forum and secondly, it's just annoying.
Please try to limit double posting (that's why we have the modifying button!)
If you are caught spamming, your posts will be deleted.
Enough said.
3. Respect
It is very important that people are treated with the upmost respect on the forum. I know it's the internet, but there is a person at the other end of that computer. I'm not saying "be lovey dovey all the time" but if you are seriously having an issue with another member, do it through PM's or talk to me about it. That's why I'm here.
4. DO NOT KILL THE THREAD!!!!!
What's this, you ask? Well, quite simply, thread killing is when you put negative comments on a thread, which then cause people to stay away from it... or it causes bitter disputes - that is not good.
5. Fighting
This is similar to the above rules, but if you are caught trying to start fights on purpose, I will ban you. Seriously, there's no need for it and it will not be tolerated.
6. Going off topic
Is fine, as long as you don't totally butcher the thread so that future readers have no idea what the original thread was about.
Anyways, those are the rules as of 12/16/05
Thank you and have a lovely time on the forum!
