In the interesting of promoting and maintaining a constructive environment on this board I have to stress the following regulations which should be taken into account before posting..
* No warez (links to pirated software/music and the like)
* No porn
* No Advertising
* No spamming
* No style bashing (MY STYLE IS THE BEST/BETTER THAN YOURS!!! [no, shut up])
* Personal attacks on members and staff will not be tolerated
* No forum wars (If somebody insults or upsets you on youtube, or any other website - it's YOUR problem. It is not allowed for members to post links along the lines of 'this guy sucks' and requesting other members take up their fight.)
* Sig & Avatar Limitations
Avatars: 100 x 100 pixels and less then 100kb.
Graphic Signature: 400 x 125 pixels and less then 100kb.
Text Signature: Don't write a book please.
Threads and posts that break these rules will be edited or deleted as the staff see fit.
Thanks
Enforcing the rules
* No warez (links to pirated software/music and the like)
- I consider this a minor offense. Remove the link, and remind the offender to keep warez to PMs only.
* No porn
- I consider this a serious offense. Will remove the post immediately.
* No Advertising
- We seem to have stopped most spam-bot ads. Delete irrelevant ads, move relevant ads to Stores & Sites.
* No spamming
- A very minor offense. If you feel an individual's spamming is getting bad, send them a PM reminding them we do have a spam board for spamming, and ask them to stay on topic and helpful more.
* No style bashing (MY STYLE IS THE BEST/BETTER THAN YOURS!!! [no, shut up])
- A fairly serious offense. If necessary censor the offending post (shrinking the text is a good option) and add a note to the post that such behavior is unacceptable. Send a PM to the member explaining the 'each to their own' ethos of freestyle. If this problem persists, start a thread in Area 51.
* Personal attacks on members and staff will not be tolerated
- A very serious offense. We put a lot of hours in off our own back to try and make this place cool, and should never have to take stick for it. Depending on the severity of the attack, try to treat it like style bashing; if you feel it's very harsh feel free to make an example of that user. We'll try to be equal between members and mods that they can report mod's behavior to any admins and admins to report to higher consultants and they will decide the justice of the offense.
* No forum wars (If somebody insults or upsets you on youtube, or any other website - it's YOUR problem. It is not allowed for members to post links along the lines of 'this guy sucks' and requesting other members take up their fight.)
- A fairly serious offence. Delete all links, shrink offensive posts, and demand on thread and through PM that the issue is dropped immediately.
