Since this is a new forum, as time goes by, I will add and modify rules as I feel I need to.
ANY ABUSE OF MY PUBLICLY DISPLAYED EMAIL ADDRESS WILL RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE BAN! NO EXPLANATION WILL BE GIVEN!
I want to say right up front that HOSTILITY will not be tolerated here, if you have a problem DO NOT CONFRONT THE PERSON, come to me and I will meditate and get to the bottom of the problem and take appropriate action!
1) Sensitive topics that may cause emotional turmoil to others are subject to being deleted by admin/mods as we see fit. NO EXCEPTIONS! You can plead with us but if it was deleted, it was for a reason and WILL NOT be allowed to be posted again. If you do post it again, you will be banned. (Two main things, mass shootings and physical abuse of any kind)
2) Rudeness, insulting others, personal attacks, threats or inflammatory posts will not be tolerated. I want this to be a friendly place for all and don't want all that negativity here. you will get banned after only 1 warning.
3) NO BASHING Neuro-Typicals's!! I want this to be a respectful place, you can't get respect without giving it to others first. it can encompass other physiological conditions. IF YOU BASH N-T'S ACTION WILL BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU!
4) NO USING "LABELS"! STOP using labels, I know this world is full of people that label us and others but I don't want it here. I don't even want you talking about "bullies" unless you are specific about a certain situation!
5) If you attack me in any way that is an immediate ban. I have had to deal with plenty of people bullying me all my life and will not tolerate it here AT ALL! NO ATTACKING MODERATORS EITHER. I will not allow any attacks on other members either.
6) NO NUDITY in your avatars or signatures. i don't care about violence but absolutely NO NUDITY. i will go in and edit your avatar and signature. if i have to it too many times on one profile you will first get a temp ban. if you come back and do it again, it will be a perma ban!!
7) Also I would appreciate it if there were no photo's added where a car has a woman in a skimpy outfit in front of it. I never have liked those kinds of car magazines. If I want to look at cars, I don't want to see the "Pin-Up Girls" in front!
8) Repeat, redundant posting to increase post counts are discouraged, most likely they will be deleted.
9)ADVERTISING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!! No advertising, spamming, solicitation or commercial self promotion will be allowed I will not allow advertising on this forum as a whole. If you cannot message me first before posting your advertisement, I won't give warnings from here on out, accounts will just be blocked. The two warnings that I gave out today are the ONLY warnings that will be given!
10) Prohibit discussing any illegal activities
11) No posting of lewd comments or photos
12) No posting of misleading or irrelevant comments, stay on topic!
13) No posting of disturbing material (benign images that suddenly change to a screaming face)
14) Members are limited to a single forum account, spam accounts will be deleted and the original account may be banned.
15) If you Private Message or email someone, and that person tells you to stop, and you keep massaging them, I will find out and you will be punished. THAT is called harassment and will not be tolerated!
16) I AM THE ONLY PERSON THAT IS ALLOWED TO USE ANY EMAILS THAT ARE VISIBLE. IF a person gives you their email in a Private message AND gives you permission, that is different. IF THEY TELL YOU TO STOP, YOU HAD BETTER STOP!
17) We will not tolerate "predator" type people here. If that is your plan, we will figure it out and you will be booted permanently! We have already gotten rid of one undesirable member and if you are that type, you will be removed as well.
18) NO LURKING, if you are not going to post and get involved in the conversation to help build the community, you don't belong here. This is a community, a family atmosphere. I know some people get busy, but others, just look through and read everything without posting a word.
As time goes on i will add and modify these as I see fit.
If you don't read through completely and understand these rules, it is not an excuse for when action is taken against you for breaking them.
NO SECTION IS EXEMPT FROM THESE RULES!
