COMMUNITY-Forum Rules - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
The following rules have been established to help maintain a civil and friendly environment, allowing everyone to enjoy the discussions found here. Please read this post completely in order to prevent any potential rules violations.
FORUM RULES:
1) Do not attack/slam/insult others. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning!
2) Topics which are started with the intent to denigrate, belittle, or disparage another USFRA member, either directly named or through enough descriptive commentary to be possibly identified, are prohibited. Such topics will be instantly deleted and may result in the banning of the original poster. This includes following another poster around in the forums, posting about past events gone sour, divulging personal information, spreading gossip or rumors, posting email exchanges between users, etc. Keep the drama off the forums!
3) No explicit, sexual, offensive, insulting or vulgar language. The USFRA forums are rated PG-13. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
4) No derogatory or offensive references to sex, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
5) Pity-seeking or attention-seeking topics which serve only to draw attention to yourself are not permitted on the forums. The forums are provided for the enjoyment of all members. They are not about you. The only exception to this rule is the New Members Welcome Area where posters are permitted to introduce themselves to the community.
6) For your safety, do not post personal information such as telephone numbers, emails, mailing addresses, instant messenger ids, etc 7) Do not post messages that violate federal, state/provincial, or local laws which include, but are not limited to, anything that violates a copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or is bound by NDA (non-disclosure agreement)
8) Do not spam the boards with advertisements for other services, websites, etc.
9) Post topics in the appropriate forum
10) If you have concerns about another poster or which to report a rule violation, the ONLY appropriate venue is to use the Report An Issue feature or to message FyreWebmaster. You may NOT air such concerns on the message boards themselves. If you have a general concern that does not involve a specific member, you may post your question in a civil manner in the "Feedback" forums. Thanks for your cooperation and we hope you are enjoying the site!
