Forum rules
By: Religious Date: January 2, 2013, 12:06 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
The rules and regulations for the forums are:
No Flaming
No aggressive, personal attacks on someone will be tolerated.
No Trolling / Name calling
No posts obviously designed to attract flames or otherwise
incite other posters to react negatively and aggressively will
be tolerated. If there is still a case to be settled between
individuals or groups, please settle them out of the forum via
PM or email.Ór tell a staff member to sort it out.
If you spot a thread which happens to be in a very heated
discussion, which involves your personal friend / relative /
associate, please do not jump in to exacerbate the situation. Do
not fan on the flames, if you are discovered doing so, you are
liable for your forum account to be banned as well. Calling
others names are not allowed on the forums as well.
Anyone who uses abusive language on the moderators or staff will
have their account banned immediately.
No Profanity or Swearing
No profanity in this forum, please. Not everyone wants to read
foul or off-color language, and those who do not should not have
to be subjected to it. This includes attempts to circumvent the
word censor or any other form of word ma5k1ng.
Also, please do not post links to ****ography or other
adults-only content. This includes the pictures that you use for
your avatar and signature.
No Creating of Multiple Accounts
You will only need one account to access the forums. If you
created multiple accounts (known as clones), all those accounts
together with your original account will be banned.
No Cross Posting
Please do not start more than one topic (in the same OR
different forums) with the same question or message. Even if
your topic's subject spans multiple forums' "themes", please
pick the most appropriate single forum, and start your topic
there ONLY. Starting multiple topics with the same question or
message is confusing, splits up the discussion / answers and
makes the moderators' jobs much harder. Please resist all
temptation to cross post. Besides, the Moderators will
lock/delete duplicate threads as soon as they see them anyway.
Excessive and Unnecessary Posting
Posting just to raise your post count (aka post whoring) - will
not be tolerated in any form.
If you think you will get more respect having more posts, you
are mistaken.
If an Admin or Moderator deems you are abusing your account in
this manner, your post count will be zeroed.
(Post whoring is when you post messages back to back that could
have been easily in 1 post or when you have innocuous
conversations back and forth with minimal post material or
content or even minimal word content for that matter. Please use
the Private Message system for such conversations.)
Likewise forum flooding is prohibited, as is spamming the forums
with posts linking to other sites/forums (which is considered
advertising).
It is nice to provide help or advise to other forumers, but do
not use that as an excuse to promote your products (a.k.a.
advertising). We can see through it easily.
Post in the Appropriate Forum
If you are starting a new topic, please give some thought to
which folder your topic logically belongs before posting.
Descriptive Topic Subject
When starting a new topic, please give a little thought to
coming up with a meaningful and descriptive subject, especially
if you are looking for help or an answer to a question. With a
descriptive topic subject, you will increase the likelihood that
interested parties will open your topic. And, in the case of a
question, you will more likely get a timely, knowledgeable
answer.
Staying On Topic
We like to have fun in the this forum, but not at the expense of
getting people's questions answered. So, staying on topic is
somewhat relative - as long as the original poster's question is
answered in a timely fashion, some straying off topic will be
tolerated. But it will always be discouraged if it comes at the
expense of helping each other and getting questions answered and
problems solved.
User PM (Private Message) for Messages Directed at Specific
People
While a little personal back and forth between two members that
is probably not of interest to the rest of the community is
fine, if it continues, please take it offline to the Private
Message feature in the forums, or to e-mail. Please use your own
discretion.
Abuse of User PM (Private Message)
Do not abuse your user PM. All PMs are saved in the database and
the administrators will access the information for investigation
if necessary.
Tech Support / Questions Posting Guidelines
In addition to the general guidelines above, please try to
observe the following guidelines when posting questions or
requests for technical support:
Read the FAQs Before Posting a Question or Problem
PLEASE read the FAQs to see if your question is listed and
answered there before posting it. While the Administrators,
Moderators, and members are all very happy to answer questions
and provide help, it gets very tiring (and time consuming)
answering the same questions over and over. So, please help them
all out and use the FAQs - that is what they are there for.
Search the Forums
The third thing we ask you to do before posting a thread is to
please use the search feature in the forums to see if a thread
like that already. Again, this helps the Administrators and
Moderators a great deal.
Share the Wealth!
If you have been helped by another member in the forums, share
the wealth by reaching out to other members to help them in
their time of need.Though it is not compulsory,it would be a
nice thing t do and improve your chance of becoming staff.
Signature size and usage policy
We have to impose a limit on the size signature lines and
graphic blocks on the forums. Signatures have a max number of
characters allowed up to 200 and the graphics size should not
exceed 600(w)x300(h) pixels.
We currently do not allow pictures which have racist, sexist,
ethnic slurs. Please ensure that your avatar is PG-13 safe as
the forums are visited by many kids.
Please adjust your graphics to fall within the above criteria it
will make for easier faster page loading, and less space taken
up in posts.
We do not allow links to games on sploder unless in an
advertising thread or board. Should you want to put up links to
any commercial site that you currently own, please contact us
for advertising rates.
Avatar Size and Usage Policy.
While we allow the use of animated Avatars and other photos, we
currently do not allow pictures which have racist, sexist,
ethnic slurs. Please ensure that your avatar is PG-13 if not
lower, safe as the forums are visited by many kids.
If we detect that your avatar does not conform to this rule, you
will may recieve a caution to either change or remove your
avatar. Failing any change, we will remove it ourselves
directly.
Forum Titles and Signature Graphics
The use of any user title or signature graphic by regular
members which implies an official capacity in the forums, such
as Helper, Moderator, Admin etc, is not allowed. Also any
signature graphic which appears to imitate the official version,
or uses any element of the design, will be removed without
notification.
We reserves the right to edit / delete posts which are in breach
of these rules and regulations at our absolute discretion, and
shall not be obliged to offer any explanation for its actions.
And finally..
Your Right To Leave
Do remember that it is a privilege, not a right that you can use
our forum to engage in discussions. If you are causing any
problem among the members, the administrators have the right to
take the necessary action to prevent further damages. Should you
feel that you do not agree with our rules and regulations, or
choose to defy them, you are free to leave our forums anytime
you wish.
