1. Be respectful and courteous to fellow members. If we all reply politely and with constructive criticism, then we can avoid a lot of conflicts and unnecessary mud slinging.

2. No personal insults to other members. If you have a grudge on a certain member, the rest of the board doesn’t want to hear it. We are all mature enough to take care of our own business without other members taking sides.

3. Please refrain from profanity. I think we can get our messages across by talking in a more civil manner. And if you really can’t think of another word to describe it, use asterisks (***). This also applies to screen names avatars and signatures.

4. No business advertising. Praising a business for good customer service or good deals is allowed, but to constantly refer to a business for promoting purposes is not allowed. This includes signatures.

5. No identical topics will be allowed at the same time in two different sections of the forum. Someone will see your post no matter what.

6. No irrelevant or excessive off topic posting. If you have a question that doesn’t concern the discussion, please use the private messenger.

7. Warnings should not be taken lightly. Even an accumulation of warnings for light offenses will be considered justifiable for banning.

8. All parties involved in an offensive behavior will be reprimanded equally. It doesn’t matter who started, or who participated in it after the fact.

9. No derogatory names will be used to describe race, religion or sexual preference. I don’t think this needs explanation.

10, Signature size will not exceed 400x100 and a maximum of 2 lines of text under the signature. This will give the forum a more "uniform" look and save some bandwidth. (No animated signatures)

11. Any other rules not stated at present time will still apply. So even if a member thinks he or she can get away with it (just because it is not written down), THINK AGAIN!
