CONTENT:
This is a family oriented forum.
From a gaming perspective, we allow materials that have a ESRB rating of "T" (Teen) or below.
For other forms of entertainment, we will generally accept anything that falls BELOW that which would be rated as R (Restricted), and M (Mature).
Unrated materials will be rejected if they contain excessive and/or gratuitous content in relation to, but not limited to, language, violence, sexuality, and controlled substances.
Posted content may be edited or removed at the staffs discretion.
Do not post obscene or pornographic material.
This would include, but is not limited to text, audio, images and video which contain foul language, inappropriate suggestions, excess violence and gratuitous sexuality. Please remember that this is a family oriented site.
Foul language, or the indication of foul language, to include deliberate avoidance of the sites filter is not allowed.
Any posts or threads with foul language, or the indication of foul language will be edited or removed at the staffs discretion. There is simply no need to use such terminology in order to hold a discussion here. Should you find such terminology necessary in order to discuss the topic at hand, then the topic itself is not suited to this forum.
Any depiction of any illegal substance is strictly forbidden.
Gratuitous depictions of legal substances such as alcohol and tobacco products may be removed at the staffs discretion.
I understand that this is a fuzzy area, so let me illustrate with an example of what I would define as gratuitous, bearing in mind that this is MY interpretation, and may or may not mesh perfectly with the interpretation of other staff members.
Justin Bieber, and Miley Cyrus, are public figures that are popular among a certain segment of the population. To portray one of them with a drink in one hand, and a cigarette in the other, would be an endorsement for alcohol and tobacco, for the simple reason that some youth look up to the two of them, and wish to emulate their behavior. Besides which, it is an easy thing to find a picture of either of them NOT displaying such behavior. Thus, to portray them in such fashion would be gratuitous. If on the other hand I wish to post a clip from an old Jimmy Stewart movie from the 40's or 50's, I would be hard pressed to find one that did not have one of those two elements in it. You can only judge people with consideration to their time and era, and standards of acceptable conduct are different in our era than they were in Jimmy Stewart's.
CONDUCT:
Please refrain from "bumping" posts.
Please refrain from making duplicate, and back to back posts.
Please keep all threads on topic.
Irrelevant posts will be deleted, depending upon the topic of the original post and the relevancy of the post to the thread. Admin and Staff reserve the right to remove or edit any thread or post we interpret as not following the rules. All staff members are able to remove inappropriate videos, images and text which they deem inappropriate, or do not adhere to forum rules. Members may or may not be contacted by staff via private message regarding why a post or thread was removed.
Please respect our staff.
If your post is edited for content, or a rules violation, please do not argue with the staff member in an open forum. If you have a question and/or disagreement with staff, you are encouraged to discuss that issue with them via private messaging. If you feel you have been treated unfairly, have discussed it with the staff member in question, and are still unsatisfied, you may contact an Administrator for further assistance.
Members are not permitted to alter or delete comments inserted into posts by staff members.
Editing a staff member's comments will be viewed as a sign of disrespect, and can result in automatic suspension from the site.
Impersonating a staff member, forum member, or any other individual is not permitted, and could result in immediate suspension..
Bullying in any form, to include racism, harassment, or suggestion of violence against a fellow forum member is not acceptable.
Bullying, even when done in jest can often be misunderstood, and found offensive. If you feel that you are being harassed by a member of this site, we encourage you to bring it to the attention of a staff member.
Please speak English.
Fair or not, this is an English language forum, and our moderators need to understand what they are seeing if they are to be expected to moderate it.
