Rules - Updated 03/11/2007
« on: September 27, 2006, 10:36:35 AM »
1. No spamming! (Nothing under 4 words or simple statements like 'cool', 'nice site', 'check it out')

2. Keep all topics PG-13. (That means no swearing, no pornography, etc)

3. Your signature may contain up to 4 lines of advertisements. Only there or in the Advertisements board are advertisements allowed.

4. No affiliate or referral links are allowed, except in the Marketplace board and its sub-forums.

5. Behave yourself, and respect all other members.

6. Keep all articles quoted, and the source stated clearly above the article.

As I run a forum I know how strict you have to be with rules so I always stick to them. My board was full of SPAM at one time until I started taking action and banning members and it sorted itself out ;)

Nobody comes on anymore lol

I will sort a sig-pic out shortly. You should add a photoshop section on here for people to show off their work etc ;) Im still learning photoshop, I can navigate it easily enough and my works not too bad but some don't look professional enough to show off lol

Nothing under 4 words
I think you should ask for at least two sentences - although some exceptions could be made.
The most important part is that a post should have some real content (and propper spelling and grammar!).

To bad the script vault system you have currently only encourages breaking your rules.

Perhaps you should look into that...

 :-[ hi there,
sorry I know I have been already warned for posting in old threads, which I didnt realise at the time, but maybe the rules should be placed in a section that makes them easy to find. I have only just found them and not having joined a forum before was warned for trolling, not sure what that means but was told what I did was wrong.

Being blind forums are not so easy to navigate, but doable , but with things such as the announcements and rules should be the first ones a person finds. Like the announcements board is here.

Its just a thought, and I appologise for my rule breaking and will try not to do it again :)
Dont knock on deaths door... ring the dorbell and run away, thats what I do!
