Rules! (please read before posting)

[forsaken_memory]

Users of the forum are asked to read and understand the following rules and guidelines, these are intended to outline what constitutes unacceptable behaviour. It is our aim to provide a high quality, friendly environment for our visitors, anyone who breaks these rules may be subject to having their account disabled and posting priviledges removed.


No spam - Spamming the boards will not be tolerated. What constitutes spam includes but not limited to: using the forum to post advertisements for unrelated websites, products or services, posting on the forum primarily for the purpose of advertising a website, product or service, posting large numbers of one worded posts or posts containing large empty spaces, starting identical threads in multiple board sections, posting solely for the purpose of increasing your post count, to 'bump' a topic or to aggravate and annoy other users.


No explicit 'adult' material - This includes but is not limited to; pornographic material or links, sexually explicit references or images, or excessive use of sexual innuendo in posts or blog entries. Remember that we have visitors of all ages, please respect this fact when you post.


No offensive language - Users are encouraged to avoid using offensive language and vulgarities when they post, moderators are on the look out for anyone who constantly uses offensive language, or who tries to get around the offensive language filters in any way. Please respect those who do not want to read swear words and vulgarities and avoid the use of such language in your posts.


No discussing 'warez' or other illegal software - Discussions about and links to illegal software are prohibited.


Please speak English on the forums - As this is an English speaking forum, we ask that all our users please speak in English when posting, postings that are in a foreign language cannot be understood by the vast majority of visitors and make the job of the moderators a lot more difficult. This also applies to the use of '1337' speak.


No harassment or hate related posts - We have zero tolerance for those who harass or victimise other members in any way; racism, hatred related posts, retaliation, the spreading of rumours or harassing members via e-mail or private messenger.


No plagiarism - Do not copy other people's work, either from this site or from another site, without properly acknowledging the original source or author; passing off other people's work as your own is plagiarism and will not be tolerated on the forum.


No flaming - This includes making personal attacks against other members, verbal abuse, starting knowingly offensive topics, mocking or being offensive towards someone. Such posts or topics will be removed by a moderator on sight.


No profile abuse - Using your profile to post offensive or unsuitable material, or using it to harass or offend another user is unacceptable. Please be sensible when it comes to your signature aswell, having a signature that is twice as long as your posts is generally frowned upon. The moderators reserve the right to remove your signature if they find it overly long, offensive or unsuitable.


No multiple identities - Registering multiple usernames and posting under all of them as different people will not be tolerated. Anyone caught doing this will have all related usernames disabled and their posting privileges removed.


Please stay on topic - Please try to post in the correct board sections, the forum is divided into different boards so that discussions can be grouped based on their subjects, the moderators will move threads that are inappropriate to the category in which they have been started. It is also encouraged for users to stay on topic within specific threads as well, if a thread has gone totally off topic then it is likely to end up being locked.


No misuse of the 'report' button - The site staff highly appreciate members using the 'report' button to let us know about problems on the forum that require our attention. Please however do not overuse this feature, reporting someone who you disagree with or who you simply don't like to try and get them into trouble constitutes abuse of the report system. Likewise, overly excessive reporting of duplicate news threads, spelling errors or other trivial things is strongly discouraged, please only report issues that genuinely require a moderator's attention.


No abuse of the Blog service - As part of the discussion board service we also provide members with a free blog which they can update whenever they wish. The above rules and guidelines apply to the blog service also, anything which is unacceptable on the main forum is also unacceptable in blogs.


No forming invite-only 'cliques' or groups - The forming or promotion of invite-only groups on the forum is prohibited, any threads aimed at forming or promoting such a group will be removed. The use of the forum to promote existing groups is also disallowed, this includes but is not limited to; promoting via blog entries, signature links or profile quotes, or sending out invitations to members via the site's private messenger facility. We believe that such groups which exclude members who have not been specifically invited is counter productive to our efforts to provide an open, friendly discussion forum service in which everyone can participate.


Please respect the moderators decisions - Any thread or post which is designed to criticise or question the decision of a moderator will be deleted on sight. If you have a query relating to a moderator, please send an e-mail or instant message to the moderator in question or to an administrator.


Forsaken Memory reserves the right to change or add to these rules at any time, and in any situation the decision of "The Administrator" is final.
