Much of what you need to know about how to properly use this forum is included in the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.&amp;#160; It's worth checking out.


Keeping it short:



    Watch the language.&amp;#160; We're all adults here and that's fine, but gratuitous profanity and such will push me into having to use the 'naughty word filter,' which I don't want to do.&amp;#160; It's easier to ban you and your IP.&amp;#160; So be cool.

    Spam me and die.&amp;#160; You have a legit site you want to link, or ask for feedback on, fine.&amp;#160; You want to spam your malware or make-money-fast schemes I'll nuke you faster than you can say 'Hiroshima.'

    Don't post stuff that's not yours.&amp;#160; This includes hotlinking to images on other people's sites.&amp;#160; That costs money for them - so not only are you stealing their work, you're stealing their bandwidth.&amp;#160; Don't.&amp;#160; Link to it with a URL if you gotta.

    No porn - that's media and text.&amp;#160; No.&amp;#160;

    The 'artful insult' clause is in full effect here.&amp;#160; This is something that was first used waaay back on FIDONet.&amp;#160; Insult the post if you must, but not the poster.&amp;#160; 'That's the screwiest idea I've ever heard' is fine.&amp;#160; 'You're the screwiest poster on this board' or 'anyone who believes that has a screw loose' isn't. 




Changes will be made to this policy as situations require.
