The registration rules

[Jim V]

For anyone who might have forgotten, these are the rules you signed up to when joining the discussion boards -

Registration to our Discussion Boards is free but we do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below. If you agree to the terms, please press the Agree button at the end of the page.

Although the administrators and moderators of TheSite.org boards will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, we cannot guarantee to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of TheSite.org boards or Jelsoft Enterprises Limited (developers of vBulletin) will be held responsible for the content of any message.

By clicking the Agree button, you warrant that you have read and will abide by the following rules:

• Harassing, threatening, abusive, vulgar, obscene, defamatory, racist or otherwise unlawful posts are not permitted.

• The owners of TheSite.org boards have the right to remove, edit, move or close any threads or posts for any reason and without notice.

• Using these boards to post spam (unsolicited advertising) is not permitted. Anywhere, seriously, not even in profile 'webpage' links. We check and if an account is simply posting spam it'll be deleted.

• Links to inappropriate websites (hateful, defamatory or illegal) are not permitted.

• If you intend to post a message asking for help from users on projects, surveys or if you are a member of the press looking for people to contribute to articles or stories you must first obtain permission by contacting TheSite.org staff.

• Quotes from other sources or sites must also include the URLs of where you found them.

• Anonymity is important on TheSite.org. If you know who someone is offline, or engage with them on other websites, keep their identity to yourself. There is also no need to mention users' online activity away from TheSite.org.

• You will respect the opinions of others. Just because you don't agree, it doesn't give you the right to make personal attacks on that person.

We will ban people who continually refuse to work within these rules.

In addition to these rules there are individual guides to each forum as a sticky on the thread lists. You should also look at the good manners guide which explains some of the more 'unwritten rules' that have developed over time here. We also have a modding policy which explains the actions mods take encourage a welcoming and supporting environment.
