Forum Rules - please read « Thread Started on Jul 6, 2008, 2:07pm »
Rules and Regulations for the 3T Mania board.
These forum rules should be obeyed at all times, by all members.
1. No using or stealing of someone else’s name. This includes giving someone else your user name and password so they can log in. Accounts are free and quick to set up!
2. It is not possible to change your name after you have registered. Think through what you want your name to be as all requests to change the username will be ignored.
3. Do not purposely try to anger someone. Do not harass, attack or retaliate against another member. Breaking this rule will earn you a warning. If you do not adjust your behavior you will be banned from the forum.
4. Do not tell people what they can or can not do. That is the administrator’s and moderator’s job.
5. Do not use obscene, abusive, hateful or vulgar language. 3T Mania is visited by people of all ages. We have young people on the board and out of consideration for them, some words are starred out (ex. sh*t). We all still know what it means without having to look at the word in its entirety.
6. Moderators and Administrators reserve the right to edit or delete any post, at any time, at our discretion, without permission or advance notice. There are many members on this board, keeping it running smoothly requires some hard decisions. If a member has their post edited by staff, there was a reason for it. If a member goes back and re-inserts what was edited out, that is grounds for immediate removal from 3T Mania.
7. Respect 3t's privacy. Do not discuss private matters such as their love life, practise of religion, or any other facts that are not public. Naturally, the same rules apply to other members of the Jackson family. The forum staff reserves the right to close topics pertaining to the above mentioned matters, at any time without advance notice or permission.
8. If a moderator notices someone is breaking the rules then the person will be warned and told to look over the rules. If the person continues to break the rules they will be banned. If someone is rude and/or vulgar, it would most likely result in an warning and/or ban.
9. Not respecting these rules or refusing to change your behavior after being issued a warning can result in banning. A person can be banned either temporarily or permanently. If you are banned do not sign up with a different name. We ban by more than username -- so that process won't work. However, if we discover you did this, your banning will be changed to a permanent ban.
10. Large, slow loading signatures and avatars visually pollute the board, enlarge threads and slow down modem users. Show respect for your fellow posters by ensuring your signature, if used, is somewhat discrete, space efficient and quick loading. If you use other message boards and don't want to change it for this one, then disable your signature when you post at 3t Mania. You will be warned if your signature or avatar gets out of hand.
11. Do not abuse smiley usage or CAPITAL LETTER’S. It is not necessary to use lots of smilies or all CAPS in one post. Please only use the smilies in moderation. You will be warned for excessive smiley usage.
12. Spam is not acceptable. It is not acceptable to add one or two word responses to every thread. This is considered spamming. For most people this is not a problem. However, we have had people who went into every thread and wrote "yes", "I agree", etc. So, members open up the thread and see that. So basically, use those in moderation. Spam posts will be deleted upon detection and without warning.
13. If you make a mistake or forget something, edit your post and do not double post. If you realize that you typed something wrong or have forgotten to include something, please don’t make an additional post. Every post can be edited by its author so just click the edit button and change whatever you need to.
14. Porn is never acceptable.
15. Do not direct link pictures unless you've been given permission to do so. If we receive a complaint from a Webmaster, you will receive an immediate yellow card.
16. If you don’t understand a decision, ask an administrator or moderator. We are always happy to hear from you.
17. Keep posts in the forums that they pertain to. We have reorganized the forums and boards. Please try to make your posts in the appropriate places.
