These rules are general in nature, as it is impossible to spell out every possible offense. The rules are as follows: 1. Flames or Derogatory Insults: Suggestion: If you are particularly irritated by another member's posting habits and are constantly fighting the urge to flame them, you can click on that person's profile, and select "Add to ignore list." This will make that person's posts invisible to you. 2. Threats, Racism, or Sexism 3. Porn: 4. Avatars or Signatures: 5. Posting in Appropriate Forums: 6. Don't repeat what has been said
7. Trolling: 8. Sponsor/Advertiser Bashing: A) Lock the thread and place a copy of the thread in the Moderator Forum OR the Sponsor/Advertiser Forum. These forums are not visible to the members but I assure you they do exist. B) Reply to the locked thread that (A) has taken place. C) The moderator or Administrator will update the locked thread with the response from the Sponsor/Advertiser OR the Sponsor/Advertiser will contact you directly. We really hope situations can be resolved off-line but we will not prohibit a statement of fact BUT we will control the thread so as to stop the Hate or Me too replies these threads often generate. 9.

If you violate forum guidelines, in most cases, you can expect the following action from the moderators/administrators: 1. First offense - warning via private message, e-mail, and/or moderator reply in the offending thread 2. Second offense - ID lock, possibly permanent Please realize that the nature of the offense will determine the action to be taken. If the violation is extreme enough, or has been repeated enough times in the past, a member can have his/her ID locked without a warning. Threads or replies that do not comply with our guidelines may be locked, edited, or deleted, depending on the nature of the offense. We will make every effort to state why such action was taken via private message, e-mail, and/or moderator reply in the offending thread.
