1. No topics containing religious, racial, or political discussion. (they are the top three flame starting topics.)
2. Do not post NSFW (Not Safe for Work), material. If you find a thread or post you feel is NSFW, please report it to the moderators.
3. Keep cussing to a minimum (there is a cuss filter setup). Do not change around letters or use spaces to avoid the cuss filter. (Talk like you would talk to your boss, parents or 5 year old daughter.)
4. Do not type in all caps - it means you are shouting.
5. Do not use excessive colors, bold letters, or ASCII characters.
6. Do not spam or flood the forum with repeated statements or questions.
7. Do not exhibit disruptive behavior.
8. Post topics under their respective forum. Keep topics on track and do not post to intentinally derail a thread. These posts maybe be moved or deleted.
9. Do not post the same topic in multiple forms.
10. Do not threaten or "flame" members of the board. This includes snide or brash comments. Treat people with respect and post with tact.
11. There will be NO advertising for the various schemes and free items on the internet. This includes "pyramid" type advertising (where you tell 5 people and if they tell 5 people you get a free Ipod etc). If this is your first post you will probably be banned as you just came onto the forum to spam.
12. Do not argue with an administrator or moderator. They have final say. You can disagree with us, but do so with respect. Do not resort to name calling (Nazi, gestapo, dictators, etc.).
13. Do not simply tell someone to use the "search" function. If you must tell someone to search, please do it politely and respectfully and provide at least one useful link pertaining to the topic.
14. One user account per person. If it is found that you have multiple accounts, all accounts will be banned. This includes circumventing a ban or just being funny.
15. Do not create pointless threads. If a thread is created just for the purpose of it being full of pointless posts it will be closed or deleted.

Continued violation and/or complete disregard of these rules may result in a temporary or permanent ban. We use an infraction system to help facilitate the content of this forum.
