No Hacking - This should go without saying, but you are not permitted to hack the board. Guessing someone else’s password and succeeding counts as hacking. Members who hack will instantly be permanently banned without any warnings.
 
1.  No Discrimination, - You may not insult members based on their religion, race,political beliefs, or whether they are gay or straight. This is worse than flaming, because it also hurts other members of the board who fall into the catagory you insult and discrimination will NOT be tolerated!
 
2.  No Bullying - Do not pick on other members. The worst kind of bullying is where new members are picked on. This hurts the member as well as the board.
 
3.  No Flaming - Flaming harms the nice atmosphere of the forum. It also causes thread’s to go off topic, and most importantly, it hurts the person being flamed. The victom may defend themselves against any accusations made to them, but may not make any additional accusations to the flamer (which also counts as flaming).
 
4.  No Profanity or Obscene Content - Such content does not belong here. A censor system is in place as a backup. If you see words in your post being replaced with ****, you have done something wrong. Please edit your post and tone it down before your timer runs out. To edit a post, click the “Edit” button right below it. Cheating the censor system is against the rules.
 
The following rules are also important:
1.  No Advertising - You are not permitted to advertise on our forums. You are not allowed to use the member list to obtain Instant Messenging screennames to harrass people to purchase a product from you.
 
2.  No Illegal Activity - You are not allowed to break the law on our forum make sure you are not in any copy right infringement when posting on the forum. 
 
3.  No Double Posting or Spamming - You may not post more than once in a row in the same thread. Posting lots of times in a row reduces the quality of the board, is a waste of the board’s memory, and provides the culprit with ill earned post count points. Double posts will be deleted
 
4.  No Topic Bumping - If a topic you created has no replies, you may not post again in it. If you made the thread because you need help with something, you may post again as long as you include additional information about your problem (the fact that you really really want it fixed does not count as additional information). You must post this in the same thread, and you are not allowed to create more than one thread per topic.
 
5.  No Posting Personal Info - You may not post your last name, or your street address on our forums. This is because this information then becomes accessible to anyone.
