The Rules

[Big Lin]

We're trying to cut down on language that some find offensive, so
we're modifying and re-posting the rules. Please give them a read!


The RULES

Most of these are from our site host's Terms of Service, and if we
failed to go by them we could be deleted. So we're going by them:

Members should not post content that is:

~libelous or defamatory
~violent
~pornographic
~encourages or threatens harm
~glamorizes the use of hard drugs
~promotes or glorifies racial intolerance,
uses hate and/or racist terms,
or signifies hate towards any person or group of people


You may not

~sell things
~attack other members
~bring problems from other boards


Language

Please keep swearing tame and infrequent.

The language filter has been set to disallow derogatory labels  ('quee.r',
'faggo.t' etc.). It also disallows 'sh.it', 'piece of sh.it', and 'god dam.n'
as part of our effort to curtail the use of foul and impolite language.
The filter's job is to remind you whenever you use an unwanted word.
Don't circumvent it.  (That's a rule.)

So also is "no foul-mouthing". At the mod's discretion
if your language is deemed unnecessarily coarse and offensive to the
gentler ears on the board, you may be edited.


Disciplinary Procedure

It's a little known fact of this board, but there is a 'three strikes' rule.
If you break a rule and are warned about it, but then do it again, and
then do it a third time, that will earn you a 2 day vacation from posting.
However, to make this not so strict and scary, your strike count will drop
to zero automatically, after three months of good behavior.


Finally - Please be nice to each other, use your common sense, and enjoy your forum!

If you have any problems, please message Lin or any of her staff.
