Posting Etiquette

* Do not post in ALL CAPS as that is considered yelling and being obnoxious.
* Please do not post off topic in threads.
* If you don't like what someone is talking about, then leave that thread, no need for rude or disrespectful comments. (Hence the flaming and trolling rules)

Unacceptable Posting Habits

* Flaming: This encompasses all responses that are specifically intended to insult, demean or cheapen any person's posted opinion, their text, spelling ability or artistic value. This does not mean "constructive criticism", if you don't know the difference then don't post.
* Trolling: Posting to elicit an angry response or encourage a fight will not be tolerated.
* Harassment: Harassing another member or the feelings of other members or the website itself is unacceptable. This will be an enjoyble community where everyone gets along.
* Abuse: No form of abuse is accepted here, including but not limited to verbal, emotional, psychological or threatened physical abuse. Threats of any kind could be terms for immediate banning!
* Racism: This covers all people, fictional or real, members or not, including groups and organizations. There will be no judgement or stereotyping of any of the above based on gender, race, religion, political preference or affiliation, work preference or affiliation, or sexual orientation.

Note: Keep in mind, I am a very open person when it comes to jokes. If you can't handle a joke about a certain race, personality, gender etc then stay out of the joke forum. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
* Spamming: Posting just to increase post count and making small useless and/or off topic posting in threads that have no value to the conversation.
* Pornography and Innapropriate Images: These forums are open for people of all ages to view home or work. Pornographic or nude pictures (aside from artistic photography at the permission of the Admin), nor any grotesque pictures whether they are sexually orientated or not. This includes simulated or implied. Do not link to any site with such pictures on it.
* Insubordination: There is no excuse for disobeying the staff or their decisions. This includes re-editing a post that was edited by a staff member or quoting or reposting text that has been removed.
* Banned site linking: I reserve the right to disallow any sight I deem inappropiate, any site you post that is for your own personnal advancement/profit, etc.
