Forum Posting Regulations
Admin Fri Oct 09, 2009 10:18 pm
No Pornographic or Sexual Material.
Any sexually oriented imagery or links to such content will not be tolerated. Additionally, sexually explicit discussions are not acceptable to our community. Any posting of such material will result in a permanent ban.
No Profanity in Thread Titles.
We do ask that the titles of threads contain no foul language. Moderators of individual boards may also allow or disallow profanity as they see fit, and their decisions are final.
Posting Email Addresses, Websites & Phone Numbers in Threads.
In order to try to prevent spammers, we do not allow our users to post URLs in any form until they have posted at least 10 legitimate posts and have been with us for more than 7 days. We appreciate your understanding in this matter in order to help us eliminate spam from this forum.
If you want to include your email address, website, or phone number for people to contact you, please put this information in your Signature. We will remove any email address, website or phone number that has been placed in our message posts.
Please do not give out any personal information such as phone number, postal address, zip code, last name, or anything you do not wish others to know. If you choose to ignore this request, we cannot be held responsible for the consequences. First Name, Age, Gender, Location, and Birthday are all optional upon registration. As stated above, only email address, username, and password are required. Please know privacy is very important to us; we will never divulge your email address to anyone without first asking your consent. If you get "spam" emails from a member please report the email address to us so we can investigate.
No FAO (for the attention of) posts.
You will refrain from having personal discussions or "for the attention of" post with other board members. Please use the Private Message feature of the board, chat, or email for this purpose.
No Impersonations.
Do not attempt to impersonate other forum members, and forum moderators/administrators. Such an attempt will not be successful and it is an offense that will get you banned from the forums -no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Out of courtesy to other forum users and moderators we expect you to use only one username on our forums. Please do not post email addresses, standard addresses, ICQ and other messaging client numbers, or phone numbers which are not your own.
One account per user, please.
Please do not register multiple accounts. Using alternate nicknames and accounts is considered unacceptable.
No Abusive Behavior.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this Forum to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, abusive, hateful, harassing, obscene, sexually explicit, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violating of any law. Hate speech is not tolerated. We will not tolerate abusive behavior to another member, moderator, or administrator.
ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR INCLUDES POSTING IN ALL CAPS! It is bad netiquette, and is flat out rude. Doing so will not be tolerated.
Do NOT Flame or Troll
Flaming, flamebaiting, and trolling are NOT allowed ANYWHERE on this site! This rule applies to posts, signatures, and PMs. Flaming is directly insulting another member, flame-baiting is making a comment with the intention of getting a flame as a response, and trolling is the act of making posts with no purpose other than to annoy people.
Remember - All Members are Equals
Do NOT single a member out because they have low postcount, or status on the site. All members should be treated equally, whether they be an admin, moderator, or average member. This also includes minor rule violators. You may NOT attack minor rule violators for breaking the rules, simply tell them the rule they broke and leave it at that. Although major offenders such as advertisement spammers likely won't get you in trouble for attacking them, any rule violations are best handled by reporting the member or post to a moderator or admin, not by flaming them.
Respect the Staff
If a staff member tells you to stop doing something, STOP. If you don't you'll likely be banned. If you disagree with any action taken by a staff member, please contact the administrator. We'll gladly review anything you have to say. NEVER attack the staff directly, as this is immediate grounds for banning.
No Email Harvesting
Users may not harvest email addresses from our site. Doing so will result in an immediate ban!
NO PM SPAM
Members will not have access to our PM system until they have reached 10 posts. This is to discourage spammers. You agree NOT to send ANY unwanted solicitation through the use of our PM function and via email through our site. Doing so is grounds for immediate removal from the site!
NO POACHING
We will not permit anyone to divert the members of this forum to other competing real estate forums or websites. Recruiting our members to other forums or competing websites is strictly forbidden. If you are simply here to promote your own forum, then please leave as you will be banned for doing so.
No Affiliate Links
No posting affiliate links in messages or in your signature. Hiding affiliate links through services that provide short urls is also forbidden.
Posting Images in Threads.
Screenshots, photographs, and other images that you want to embed in your post must be no larger than 640 x 480 pixels. Larger images will be deleted, resized, or changed to a link.
No Thread Killing
If a member is not happy with a post they have made, they should remove it once posted. Removal of posts, once others have responded, does nothing but ruin the flow of a conversation and kill a thread. Users who engage in thread-killing will have their accounts suspended.
NO SPAMMING
Spamming is characterized by the initiation of threads or posts that contribute nothing to a forum, be it off topic or on topic. Examples include: advertisements that are not located in the classifieds section, empty posts, posts with few words that have no relation to the current thread, promotion of your website or product in any thread other than the classifieds, or discussion and those posts that state they are Spam, either to annoy or increase a member's post count. Posting the same message across several threads is also considered Spam. This determination is made by the forum Moderator or Administrator and is not up for discussion.
No Advertising or Promotions.
You will not post topics or messages that solicit or promote any commercial concern or transmit advertising, promotional materials, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or make any commercial use of our service. Doing so will result in the immediate termination of your account.
