BOARD Rules (PLEASE READ)
« Thread Started on May 1, 2005, 2:13am »
Please keep in mind that this is an all ages board, and is read and used by young posters as well as older people .

The following rules are your guide to behaviour on these boards. When a rule and a moderator appear to be saying different things, the moderator is always right. Avoid arguing with them - if you feel you've been wronged or misrepresented, you're welcome to contact me by Email.

Rules:

  • No offensive content.
    This includes, but is not limited to :
  • Gore and excessive violence (both photographic and animated) including 'stick death' and violent Flash animations
  • Racist and hate speech material
  • Other material generally considered rude, vulgar or crass (including bodily functions)

  • Posting written material or inline images containing the above is unacceptable.
  • Links to gratuitous examples of the above is prohibited. It is sometimes reasonable to link to an external resource that contains borderline material because of it's redeeming attributes (an article about a breakthrough in medical science with graphic pictures of surgery for instance) and it is polite to warn people about what they might see. Please note this is simply netiquette and not a licence to break this rule. If you have concerns about material you wish to post, you can contact me first.
  • No posting of Telephone numbers, addresses or any other personal information. - Just in case the person you are talking to is not really who they say they are!!
  • No illegal content.

    This includes, but is not limited to :
  • Material concerned with illegal drugs and drug use
  • Material concerned with making weapons and explosives or committing crimes
    Pirated software, music, or other media, including modern commercial game emulation, file sharing networks and ways of circumventing copy protection
  • Discussing the implications, ethics and other theoretical aspects of these subjects is acceptable, but promoting, advocating or providing specific details is not.

  • No advertising, spamming or scams.

    This includes, but is not limited to :
  • Pyramid and other MLM schemes, referral programs and money scams

    Not all behaviour is so simple, these tips can help you fit in better with the exiting community:
  • Make your signature a reasonable size. approx 90 pixels by 90 pixels. Large, ugly and slow loading signatures visually pollute the board, enlarge threads and slow down modem users. Show respect for your fellow posters by ensuring your signature, if used, is somewhat discreet, space efficient (avoid using vertical content) and quick loading. If you use other message boards and don't want to change it for this one, then disable your signature when you post by unchecking the box below your message body. You will be warned if your signature is unacceptable.
  • Don't post nonsense and gibberish. Don't waste people's time by spieling off nonsense prose or other forms of brainless rambling. While we all have a sense of humour, material that's completely devoid of intelligence, thought or wit, does not belong on these boards.
  • If you have a large picture to display, either in filesize or dimensions, link it. Stretching threads is a no-no, and if it occurs you are expected to edit your post to fix it.
  • If you post an external link, please be discerning. We do not need to be inundated with Flash animations and quirky sites. You can share sites with the rest of the board that make you laugh or think, but just try not to make a habit of it, and consequently be sure to only pick the best of the bunch, as mediocre Flash animations are not rare treasures that the world must be notified about. If you're going to post trivial and silly content, it *must* be all ages.
  • Make use of the preview function. The preview checkbox that sits next to the post button is a powerful tool that will show you exactly how your post, profile picture and signature will look before you add it to the board. You can use it to check your codes and other formatting, as well as seeing how your profile and signature looks without making 'test' threads, and save yourself from having to fix blatant mistakes with edits.
If you have any problems with these rules or you think i have missed something don't hesitate to contact me by email: Tropidophis@hotmail.com or by posting a message here.
