3/ All posts are property of the poster. This forum and all web sites owned in conjunction with this forum have the right to request alteration or deletion of any offencive post. Posts may be deleted for any reasons the forum administrators deem reasonable.
4/ Users may not argue a moderators decision publicly. Any and all complaints directed at a moderator must first address the moderator in question via PM. If the problem can not be resolved, then the moderator and user must send their positions to the forum admin. The forum admin will make or change any and/or all final decisions.
5/ Pictures may be posted as long as they are not explicit or offencive. If you plan to post more than 5 images, please link to the images or use flickr to host them. We have a dedicated Flickr button, so it will link back as per their terms. Max image size is 1000 x 1000 px and file size 200kb
6/ Signatures may not contain images. Please also keep text signatures under 5 lines.
7/ Please keep foul language to a minimum, any excessive un-called for language will be removed and you will receive a warning.
8/ Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other topics and see where your topic should go. If your topic is placed in the wrong forum, it will be moved by a moderator.
If a topic is recognised as being posted in the wrong forum, or if the post is a violation of our guidelines then please contact a moderator either via PM or the 'report post to moderator' feature; Please do not respond publicly to the member, giving them stick for posting in the wrong forum (we all make mistakes) - a member of staff will do what is required upon contact.
9/ You may have one username on the board at any one time. If you wish to change your name, please contact a mod or admin. We reserve the right to merge or delete multiple accounts.
10/ All images uploaded to this site, MUST be your own. Any uploading of copyright protected images, will result in your wrists getting slapped
11/ "Newly registered" members will not have access to the members only area. Making meaningless posts to attempt to get around this restriction, will result in instant ban.
12/ And finally, in the words of "Bill and Ted", just be excellent to each other. We all can fall out with people at times, and get in to arguments. The main thing is to remember that it is a person you are dealing with, not just text on a screen.
Moderation Rules.
1/ Mods will act in the best interest of the forum as a whole.
2/ No mod should act on personal reasons, or for any other reason, other than to enforce forum rules.
3/ Should a mod find themselves under attack or in the middle of any forum issue, another mod or admin will take over decision making.
4/ Only spam posts/threads are to be deleted immediately, any other thread should be move to the "Sin Bin".
5/ Banning a member is a last resort, and should only happen under extreme circumstances.
6/ At first, a 1 day ban should be applied, giving the member/members time to cool off.
7/ If any issue is restarted or continued after a 1 day ban, a 7 day ban should be given. The 7 day ban should also contain a clear warning that should the member/members start again, a permanent ban will be enforced
8/ Abuse or missus of the moderation tools will not be tolerated.
Admin Rules.
I write the rule book, so I don't have any to follow. So you all better be nice and behave, or I will write a special rule just for YOU
