DRuG Forums basic rules

[[DRuG]NikT]

READ THIS ALL VERY CAREFULLY AS IT DIRECTLY AFFECTS YOUR ACCESS TO THESE BOARDS.updated 28/2/09

While these forums are the property of drugcrew.com, and specifically, [DRuG]NikT, this was introduced as a place for DRuG members to work & share ideas. So there are certain rules that need to be followed.

Spam
Spamming is either posting multiple times about the same thing or starting multiple topics about the same thing. There are other actions that are considered as spam such as constantly posting off-topic as well as providing links that have nothing to do with these forums. Spam will be deleted without warning. Constant spamming will result in assignment of a ban warning and at last in permanent ban.

Be polite
Treat others in your messages as you would like to be treated, yourself. Any and I mean any insults to others will be deleted immediately followed by assignment of a ban warning. Continuous insulting will result in permanent ban.

Starting an argument
There is no place for that on these message boards. Topics that are designed to start a flame war will be deleted without warning followed by assignment of a ban warning. Repetition of this will result in constant ban.

Stay on-topic
There will be some leniency on this, and I don't mind if you bring in another idea or two, but stay focused. If you think it's a good enough topic, start a new thread about it. This also prevents losing a good idea in a thread about another topic. Threads that wander off-topic will be closed and trimmed.

Illegal topics updated 28/2/09
Disturbing content (this includes real-life violence and other graphic footage of a disturbing nature), Warez, porn, copyrighted material, etc. are not welcome here and will be removed without warning followed by assignment of a ban warning. This includes releases of any kind of game modifications without proper permission or use of stolen parts, textures or any kind of copyrighted material. Repetition of this will result in constant ban.

Impersonating
Attempting to pose as any of our members, friends or enemies will not be tolerated and will result in the deletion of that username. This also applies to clever variations of registered names.

Attitude
Profanity, racial discrimination and any kind to show bad manners doesn't belong here. Messages of this kind will be edited or deleted followed by assignment of a ban warning. Repetition of this will result in constant ban.

Moderation
I reserve the right for the moderators & I to edit, delete, or ban for our own reasons - without warning.

Failure to follow these rules will result depends on what happens a warning or a constant ban. More serious violations of these rules may result in further steps taken with your ISP or higher authorities.

So follow these rules and make this forum a place where all folks like to be. The intention of this forum is to have fun and to share your thoughts with others. And keep in mind that respect is cool and works both ways.

If you have any questions about any of these rules, please e-mail nikt@drugcrew.com

Thanks to TheBorgGaming.com for their basis set of rules, from which these are based.. I feel they're a fair example.

This follows an incident on AGS where someone posted pictures of a cut up emo (naturally, they are adjusting their rules to address this, and so are we)... some may find this crap funny - personally I'm a big believer in "information in = information out" at some point - ie. if you fill ya head with crap like that, what do you expect to come out in ya dreams, trips etc.? Personally - mine are all sunshine and lollypops - interrupted by the occasional period of self confrontation... and I'd like to keep it that way.
