Rules & Regulations:Please read!!

Rules & Regulations: All rules must be strictly adhered to

Be civil, no personal attacks, no flaming. We may attack ideas (politely) but we do no attack the speaker of the idea. Be careful with your words, there is a point where being direct crosses a line into blunt, in-your-face hostility.

Please, report bad posts instead of engaging in flame wars on the boards.

If you disagree with something, say so, but explain WHY.

bumping - posting in your own thread to make it come up as new is not allowed and will  be deleted. The use of symbols, icons, or charcaters to bump a post will result in deletion.

Stay on topic. Attempts to hi-jack threads by switching topics or going off topic will be deleted and infractions issued. This is not a chat room - when people hi-jack threads by posting messages that are of interest to only few people, the threads often stop being useful discussions of initial topics.

Hate speech, racism or bashing of ANY sort will NOT be tolerated. Rude posts will be removed and infractions issued. Do not quote or talk to trolls or your posts will also be deleted. Use the report feature instead.

Pouncing on someone you disagree with runs contrary to the spirit of this board and its members. We are here to help each other.

It is a bad idea to post your email address or to make it public without scrambling it somehow - there are web crawlers gathering email address for spammers.

"Calling out" a moderator (ex. posting a thread titled "Mod X, you deleted my post, explain yourself!") is not allowed.

No "I'm leaving" messages.

Deleting The Contents Of Your Own Post: Posting a message then going back and editing out the contents but leaving a blank post will result in that post being deleted. Multiple posts of this nature will be grounds for banishment.

Free Advertising is not allowed. Whether you are directly or indirectly associated with a business you CAN NOT:
Display business name in any form or fashion, telephone numbers, physical addresses, URL addresses, links, hyper-links, product displays, business location, business logo or anything identifying product or service associated with the business. ANYONE caught advertising is subject to being banned from the forum - NO WARNINGS!
