Before posting a new topic

If you can answer YES to these 4 questions then you may post a new topic.
- Is it the Truth?
- Is it Fair to all concerned?
- Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
- Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
Before Posting a topic please check the Search engine. If we can avoid making too many threads on the same topic everything can be tidy and easy to understand for all. If your query or comment relates to a thread then post in that same thread. Creating another thread can cause confusion.
Are you using the most appropriate Forum? Ask another member or Moderator if you are unsure.
Try to keep posts simple and easy to read. Please avoid using simplified English ( eg Nice 2 C U) as it is not understood by all. Do not use all caps ( eg MY SUBJECT IS ) as some individuals see this as shouting.
If you make a poke at someone as a joke always use a " wink" however this should be made clear as some individuals may not understand and therefore get offended..
Please describe the topic in the title. It helps us decide on whether to read it or not and/or find it later.

Before replying to a topic

If you can answer YES to these 4 questions then you may post a reply.
- Is it the Truth?
- Is it Fair to all concerned?
- Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
- Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
Threads must stay on topic. Please may sure your reply is relevant and on topic.
If you see an unsuitable post look for the exclamation icon aside the offending message. A form will open allowing you to contact the moderators all automatically by email in order to check the message and take appropriate action.
Respect that not everyone will have the same opinion as you. Yes, you may not agree with it, but respect their opinion, just as you would hope yours would be.

Miscellaneous rules

Respect the guidelines for forum usage, and site usage. Respect the forums, its admins, mods, volunteers, yourself, fellow community members, and guests on these boards. Whether a community member has one post or 5,000 posts, they deserve the same respect.
If you have any questions or concerns about the administration, PM one of the moderators or admins.
No trolling. Click here for wikipedia's entry on trolling. "An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion."
Do not feed the trolls: Some wisdom from wikipedia.
While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. No posting of any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.
No linking to pirated or copyrighted material.
No discussion of illegal activities.
Post your question/comment only once. Don't cross-post to multiple forums.
No spamming. Don't worry, promoting your event or choons is not spam :).
Don't post your email address to the forums. Spam bots love uneducated forum users who post their email addresses to public sites and grab those addresses; you will soon discover the wonders of male enlargement kits and other really useful products posted daily to your inbox.
Although this BB does not and cannot review the messages posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we at this BB reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless this BB, and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).
These rules may change at any time.
