This forum is here for our enjoyment
let's all be adults and conduct ourselves as such
company & business links will be allowed in your signature
however please do not push your items here
Read the forum rules. Even if you're excited to be a member of a new forum and can't wait to join in,as we are to have you. Take the time to read these simple rules thoroughly.
Please refrain from political or religious posts, its OK to say Amen or God bless, but let us not fight over these personal beliefs, these are private & keep them so
there is no such thing as freedom of speech on a forum, even while here
Look around a little before you dive right in, if you're unsure. Read a number of posts, or check out others postings, get a feel for the tone of the forum so you can participate accordingly.
Remember your face doesn't show. Words alone can convey sentiment, but without benefit of inflection or facial expression, these can be and are often misconstrued. Use descriptive wording, emoticons or .gifs to ensure your meaning is clear. By the same token, don't jump to conclusions about another person's intent in posting an unclear comment. When in doubt, ask for clarification in a polite manner or seek the assistance of a moderator for help
Type in lowercase or standard case, not in all caps. By the rules of netiquette, all caps equates to shouting. If you type with all caps, you will annoy and possibly offend other forum members. You don't shout when you converse
Say online exactly what you would say in person. In other words, if you wouldn't say it to the person's face in front of your mother, you shouldn't type it into a forum either.
Be respectful. Internet etiquette is similar to standard etiquette in this area. Appreciate that your opinion is one of many. You can disagree with another person without being disrespectful or rude online. If you have a problem contact any moderator before it gets out of control please
Discussion of illegal activities will be removed & you will be warned, failure to comply will result in being banned
Illegal topics are prohibited as example
If you post videos or photographs make sure they belong to you, please dont post others work
Ignore Trolls. Netiquette guidelines are very specific where they're concerned. If you engage in conversation, you'll raise your blood pressure and empower the Troll. You can't win a flame war, and you can't sway a Troll's opinion. Often, they don't even care about the subject; they live for the conflict and nothing more. Trolls are common and not worthy of your time. Ignore their posts-no matter how inflammatory-and eventually they'll get bored and move on. Contact a moderator & if we haven't done so they will be removed
You can disagree with someone's opinions, but calling that person an idiot or a profane name is a violation. Flaming, or deliberate insults or personal rants, is also not allowed or tolerated.
As I said let's all be respectful & considerate of others, it will make for an enjoyable community
