Every forum needs them. And all of them should go without saying.

I am a fairly easy going person and thus my rules are more of a guideline on how to behave.

1) Be polite, and respect other people's opinions. You are allowed to criticize ideas, but not the poster. This is not to say you cannot criticize trolls. Trolls will be dealt with as trolls should be dealt with. But seriously, this is an open forum, so all ideas are open to interpretation, and as such not everyone may agree. When you post your opinion, you have to accept the fact that some people may disagree with your opinion, and they may post a reply you do not enjoy. If this happens do not take it as a sleight on you. They have the right to their opinion, just as you are entitled to yours.

2) Do not threaten of harress another member. Threats will not be tolerated. I will not repeat this. NO THREATENING! It is childish and ridiculous.

3) Do not post any material that is obscene, vulgar, indecent, pornographic, abusive, hateful, or threatening. This is a matter of common sense. If you have something you wish to post and have any questions due to uncertainity, ask a moderator. I will allow some harsh stuff on occasion and even some naughty lewd stuff in the proper areas, but if it crosses the line of good taste, or put up for shock value, you may find yourself in trouble.

4) Although I will allow some swearing, do not abuse the right and litter your posts with them. Such things will get you warned and eventually banned.

5) Do not pick a fight with another member purposefully.

6) Keep the arguing to a minimum. We all disagree, but be civil and try to be respectful. It is always embarressing to have a moderator end a fight for you, so save yourself the trouble of it.

7) Respect others privacy. If you learn something about another member, do not share it with the forum unless you are asked to by the member.

8) Spelling and Grammar are expected to be somewhat coherant. The rule of thumb is if you cannot be understood, or your post is so horribly garbled with errors as to be next to unreadable, it will find its way into the Wastelands. There are too many spell checkers and grammar assistant aids out there to put up crap like that. Hell... the site even comes with one.

9) Stay on topic. It was started for a reason. Stay with it. If you want to say something off topic, do it over PM or in a new thread.

10.) No double accounts. I'll catch you and delete one of them. You have no need to talk to yourself or buddy up with yourself in here. If you feel the need for a new account, let me know immeaditely after creating it, so that the old one can be removed. If you continually create new accounts for whatever reason, you may find all of them banned. Including your main one.


Fairly easy rules eh? They may change over time as situations warrant, and they may have additions among them. The basic thing to remember is use good judgement, common sense, and courtesy. Thank you for reading.
