Posting Rules for the R.P.P and R.P.N.N. Forums
1. Keep your language, and behavior appropriate for public. This is after all a public board, therefore act as you would in a public place. Nothing obscene or profane.
2. Do not post here if your only intention is to be confrontational.
3. Real World Politics and Religion are not allowed on this board unless otherwise specified by an Administrator in a specific area. Even then this will be a limited area and may not stay if things become out of control.
4. Keep to the topic the section of the board is designated for. Off-topic posts and threads will be moved to their appropriate area.
5. No posting other people's personal information without their permission.
6. Do not bring problems or flame wars from other message boards or webpages to this one, or personal issues from any other source. You have a problem with someone, DO NOT bring it in here.
7. No SPAM. Commercial messages are prohibited without specific permission of the Administrator.
8. If you post materials from other websites, books and/or newsgroups credit should be given whenever possible. If you re-post material from the RPP sites you are also asked to give credit when appropriate.
9. This message board will not be used for trading, obtaining, making available or selling of unauthorized or illegally obtained copyrighted materials. Therefore it is strictly forbidden to post any link, make reference to or mention the ability through any manner, the acquisition of or sharing of ANY Copyrighted Material obtained through unauthorized or illegal means, from any location be it on the Internet or not. This includes programs such as Kazaa and those like it.
10. The Administrators and Moderators have the right to edit, delete, move or lock any message and/or thread for any reason. There may be NO warning as to why, but as a rule explanations will be given upon request. We ask you to keep the rules, and you will get no less from us. The moderators of the Message Board use their own discretion and judgment in deleting posts. That means that even if we’re wrong, it's our right so long as we think our actions are necessary to keep the forum clean and tasteful. As such, we will keep an eye on our moderators and administrators as well. If you feel one of them has overstepped their authority, bring it up to one of the other Admin/moders and it will be considered by all.
Disciplinary action:
Posts that break any of the rules or are deemed inappropriate by the Mod/Admin team are removed to a separate storage area for review and documentation.
Every poster who violates the rules, with the exception of the violations listed below, will receive Three warnings. On the third warning you will lose your posting privileges for the following time periods.
* 1st Offense: 7 day ban
* 2nd Offense: 1 month ban
* 3rd Offense: 6 month ban
* 4th Offense: 1 Year ban
* 5th and final offense: Permanent ban
Offenses that may result in an automatic ban:
* Communicating any kind of threat
* Circumventing an existing ban
* Posting using another person’s username without their permission. Posting with permission is looked poorly on, if you do so, be ready to validate it.
* Posting pornography of any kind
* Violation of Copyright as per the rule listed above
* Hacking the site or someone's account
This is a place of entertainment and relaxation. Do not make it a chore for us, and we will keep it tasteful for you.
As part of our promise to keep these rules, many of them were heavily based on rules from the message boards at Classic Battletech.
