Theres a forum not enough aactivity. Will you help out. The rules are very strict but must be artist people only if going to cause trouble screw you. I will In order to keep this a well ordered and behaved forum I have set down some rules and guidelines for both moderators registered users and guests.
While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable.
Forum Rules:
User's posts must comply in a manner consistent with any and all applicable laws of the State of California and the US Federal Government (where our forum host Proboards.com can be found).
User's may not post messages that contain content promoting the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content, profanity, hate, "spam," fraud, racism, mlm, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity.
User's posted messages must be in English.
The Birthday field in the profile is required. ProBoards does not allow members under the age of 13, an age check will be in place, which will remove accounts of users under this age. It will stay possible for these young users to use this forum as Guest but not registered users.
Please do NOT lie about your age. Doing so will result in being banned from the site.
Debate is acceptable, but flaming or hurtful personal comments are not acceptable. Please try and be as mature and as adult in a debate, keep in mind people have a right to their own opinion, you by no means have to like their opinion, but you can accept that is their opinion.
Please post sensibly, there is no need for 10 posts in a row containing just smilies or rambling - please use the 'modify' function if you wish to add to a post after it has been posted.
Please stay on topic. Do not change a topic on threads. Please do not start talking about unrelated things. When you need to talk about another topic, you can start a new thread or PM each on another.
Posts that do not comply with these rules will be edited or deleted. Members or guests that do not follow these rules, especially after warnings can be removed from this forum or even be banned.
Inappropriate Language
Please do not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned. This also applies to private messaging, please be polite. In the event someone reports abuse in private messages a investigation will take place and the admin and or moderators will decide a final action accordingly.
Post under the appropriate topics
Before you start posting questions on the forum please just give it a quick look over. In order to keep the forum neat and orderly I am relying on the forum members to use their best judgment to choose what topic is most appropriate for their threads. The Moderators and myself would appreciate if you just took note of all the available topics first to make it a bit easier for us to manage.
External Links
Posting of external web site addresses and external links on the forums is permitted so long as they are helpful, appropriate and pertain to the subject of the thread.
Signatures
Signature images are permitted but should be no higher then 100 pixels and 400 pixels wide and should fit neatly into your signature space.
Posting Pictures
Pictures may be posted, please try and keep them at a reasonable image size, around 300 or 400 pixels. Images that are found to be an extreme size may be removed from the post. I would like to see the topics kept as neat looking as possible. If you dont know how to shrink the image please use a URL instead. Also keep in mind that people on dial up connection may be slowed down due to oversized images, so let all try and be respectful.
Icons/Avatars
These can be uploaded in your profile, located at the top of the forum. Avatar images must be no larger then 80x80 pixels. Make sure they are in jpg form.
Please stay on topic in threads
I would like to encourage everyone on the forum to please be considerate of other people’s threads and try to remember to stay on topic. It can be quite frustrating when one goes to check a topic that has been updated only to find that someone has decided to go off talking about something totally unrelated when they were expecting to get some input on their original post.
The moderators and myself will split any threads that go off topic, but we would rather that you were just considerate of this rule and of others. If you would like to talk about something different please either PM (private message) that other member or start your own thread under the appropriate topic.
Site Bashing
Please avoid bashing other websites or venting about your frustrations of other website. I would very much like to keep the atmosphere here good-natured and do not want to develop a bad reputation for either the forum. Any topics written that are in this nature will be locked or most likely deleted from the forum.
However if there are any concerns about this forum you feel you need to express yourself in a constructive manner you may so under the “Forum questions and problems” topic. Please use your best judgment if it involves a dispute between members please contact the admin or moderators first. Don’t start a flaming thread.
