#1 The First Amendment is in full effect here, however do not post offensive, racist or sexually explicit material.
#2 Do not "thread-crap" or "flame-out". This means don't post inflamatory remarks if people don't ask for criticism. Be productive, be helpful, Be constructive. Disagreeing with somone is fine, but post an opinion that you can validate.
#3 Treat others online as you would treat them in person. Respect your elders they may be someone's parents, be courteous to all members.
#4 If you suggest a particular website for reference, please post a link to it.
#5 Leave Moderating to the moderators. Don't ridicule other people's posting habits, just tell a MOD or ADMIN if it is important enough to complain about and we will deal with the posting or conduct of other's. If you do get into a dispute online remember that it will likely be regarded as flaming or thread crapping and you may be disciplined as well as the other party.
#6 Do not, under any circumstances post threads suggesting or advocating any illegal activity. Your thread will be locked, logged and or deleted. If appropriate, lawenforcement authorities will be notified if the post constitutes criminal activity.
Have fun and enjoy the site.

#7 Antagonizing admins or other staff members - I shouldn't need to post this, but apparently I have to. Do not try picking a fight with site admins or mods. Like wise do not try posting something offensive derogatory or otherwise disrespectful about a mod because you are upset or disagree with their decision. Such conduct will result in an immediate ban and or loss of any privileges as mod or staff until such time as the matter is addressed and corrected to the satisfaction of the site administration. If you disagree with a mod's decision you may discuss the matter with that person in PMs or privately. Disrespect or slurs on the open forum will not be tolerated period.
