THE RULES! « Thread Started on Oct 24, 2003, 1:45am »
As with many boards, this is a family oriented site. So we have to set forth some rules and guidelines, and even punishments for breaking the rules.
Always treat fellow posters with respect and courtesy. Always.
This is a family site. As such, no language, avatar pictures or external website links inappropriate for children should be posted. If you are uncertain as to whether a certain word, image, or link is allowed, contact a moderator or administrator beforehand.
No discussion of how to illegally acquire copyrighted material or links to websites promoting subversion of copyright. For your safety, no public posting of any personal contact information.
No misquotations or misrepresentations of other members. This is considered libel.
No irritating posting styles, including use of all caps and excessive punctuation.
Discussion must be on-topic only when possible. If there is no board where a subject belongs, include the words “Off Topic” in the thread title or contact a moderator or administrator and ask where to post the thread.
No posting of flames or material intended to start a flame war
Do not use this Board to sell video, DVD, CD, or anything else that is considered Copyright (I personlly do not have a problem, however, I do not want to get this site to get shut down. So we are going to play it safe and say no now!)
AS FOR THE PUNISHMENTS...
Deletion of offending mater If the offense took place on a public message board, the material that violated the rules may be edited or deleted.
INFORMAL WARNING:If the moderator determines that the offense is not severe enough to warrant a formal warning, an informal warning may be issued. An informal warning is a private correspondence between the moderator and the violator advising the violator of the offense and what she/he can do to correct it.
FORMAL WARNING:Formal warning: If the offense is severe enough or an informal warning has already been issued, the moderator may issue a formal warning. The formal warning becomes a permanent part of the poster’s record and all moderators and administrators are informed are soon as it is issued. Several warnings can result in a permanent ban.
BLOCK: A block is the temporary deactivation of a violator’s posting privileges for one or more of the message boards. A moderator may apply a block to freeze a deteriorating situation and make time to work out issues with the violating user.
BAN: A ban is the permanent deactivation of the violator’s account with The Voice Of Gotham Forum. A moderator applies a ban in response to very severe offenses and/or consistent display of unwillingness to follow forum rules.
These rules are subject to change at anytime. When changed, we will notify you via the MSG Board.
