Forum Rules (Revised 8/12/2005)
Everything is fair game here but it is still possible to step over the line between opinion and bigotry, and this will not be tolerated. Comments deemed to be seriously sexist, racist, homophobic or leaning toward religious hatred will be removed immediately, and you will be sent a message explaining what you have done wrong, and warned that if you overstep the mark again you will be banned. The same goes for RL threats.
Potentially libelous remarks will also be removed, as will any posts deemed liable to invoke these boards being shut down. If an offender persists in this, they will also be banned, after fair warning. I don't care if David Bowman ate your kittens - if you can't prove it, don't post it here!
Opinions on public figures (Bush, Blair etc) are welcome here, as are those on high-profile figures in relevant companies who work in a capacity where they are paid to make decisions (such as Ginesh and Bowman).
If someone complains about a previously un-moded post both sides of the story will be sought before a decision is made. If someone doesn't log in for a while, this may mean moding a post without consultation. Sadly this cannot be avoided, and the person moded will still have the right to reply on their return.
If a member posts in any topic in a way that is off topic or personally insulting/flamming/inflamatory, the Originator of the topic, And/OR the person being insulted/flamed - has the right to request that the post be removed/moved from the thread (i.e to the PVP forum, or just to its own thread). Mods shall follow the request of the Originator of the topic, or the person subject to the insult.
Wherever possible, two (or more) admins/mods will agree on any potentially contentious decision before it is made. Mods immediately provide a reasoning of why any post was removed/moved.
If you have any queries, please contact a mod or admin.
Ta for listening and thanks, in advance, for not being fucking idiots
