Rule #1: No Flaming!
Flaming is defined as: personal attacks, such as name-calling, against other posters. Also included in this area is insulting language aimed at ethnic groups, anybody's country of origin, etc. Note: calling somebody an idiot or stupid is flaming. Stating that you find their position on an issue to be stupid or idiotic, and then explaining WHY YOU THINK THAT, is not. There is a difference.

NOTE THAT THERE IS A ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY AT THIS SITE REGARDING FLAMING. ANY FLAMING WILL DRAW AN IMMEDIATE BAN!!! At my option, the ban may be made Permanent.

ANY RACIST COMMENTS OR HATE SPEECH ARE ALSO GROUNDS FOR AN IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT BAN! I define hate speech as ANY derogatory term referring to a person's race or sexual preference ("gay", "lesbian", or "homosexual" are OK; "Homo", "fag", "queer", and the like are not) as falling in this category. I naturally also include any derogatory reference to anyone's Religious Beliefs in this category.

Rule #2: Stay on Topic!
This means that digressions must be at least minimally related to the topic announced in the title, by the thread starter. I realize that sometimes discussions can go off on tangents. No problem. However, the tangent must somehow be related to the original subject. Also, the thread starter is NOT allowed to suddenly wildly change the subject any more than the rest of us are.

Rule #3: Keep it Civil
This should be self-explanatory. Note that any posts that are highly inflammatory in tone will be deleted immediately by the moderators. Period. At the MODERATORS' option, a copy may be sent back to the offender for editting and reposting, along with an explanation of what the specific problems are. But don't count on it.

Rule #4: No Spamming!
You would think that this would be self-explanatory; we have found that it isn't. So let me further define this:

A) No "cheerleading" posts. These are defined as posts which more or less say "Dude! I so agree with what you just posted! You are the bomb!", and nothing else. Quoting the post you agree with, and THEN saying essentially the above, is in this category as well. If you REALLY feel the urge to cheerlead, DO IT VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE!
C) Double Posting. This is rude and obnoxious behavior. If you suddenly have an insight you need to add to a post, DO IT WITH THE EDIT BUTTON, located in the lower right-hand corner of the post. Unless a post runs up against the character limit, and you aren't done, you are not allowed to double-post. Double posts not meeting the above criteria will be deleted.
