Forum Rules

[Blocker]

Welcome to the mySandman forums these rules and guidelines can change without notice, please read them carefully.

Before posting, please take note of the following rules and guidelines:

- PG13 content only.
- No abusive, racist, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or other material that may violate applicable laws.
- No referral links, eg - any link in which the poster gets some sort of benefit (monetary or otherwise) with an external party.
- Strictly no advertising other websites or businesses. Community events are allowed within the appropriate section. If you are not sure, please ask a moderator before posting.
- No obvious spam. This includes making posts in a thread that have no relevance to the current topic.
- Opinionated discussion threads will be locked at our moderators' discretion. Controversial topics such as abortion and religion are strongly discouraged and will be monitored closely.
- No posts which are solely critical of another forum member or the way in which a member posts (eg - spelling and punctuation).
- No impersonating administrators, mySandman staff, or another member.
- No cross posting. Post your message once in the appropriate forum, posting twice or more in other sections will be deleted without warning.
- Sales referral links must be accompanied by detail of the item(s) and photos, a link without providing content is a breach of the posting guidelines.
- Do not create referal links in your signature block unless approved.
- Individuals are to sign up with a single account. Any person identified as having multiple accounts on the forum will have all posting privileges removed.


Any breaches of these rules will result in your posting privileges being revoked. Interpretation of these rules is at the discretion of moderators and administrator.

Please note that posting on these forums is a privilege, not a right.

The thoughts and opinions of all posts on these forums are that of the poster and not those of mySandman.

These rules are subject to review at any time.


Infraction System is a warning system that alerts the moderators that a member continues to break the rules. Each rule has an infraction point assigned to it, when a member reaches 5 points they will incur a temporary ban.
Points expire over a period of time, while more serious breaches never expire. You can view your infraction points in your profile page. All infractions are noted by the moderators and they will use their discretion in assigning infraction points, so while one moderator may let an infraction pass another may not.

Infraction Points (1)
Insulting another Member
Inappropriate Language (Trying to get around the swear filter by typing alternate spelling etc may incur an infraction)
Posting Inappropriate Links or Pictures
Not adhering to Posting Guidelines


Infraction Points (5)

A reminder to all to read and abide by the rules please.

Just in case you forgot, or never checked them.

Thanks.

There has been a tendency in the past month or so for people to type alternative spelling to swearing. I would like you to consider that this still remains a family forum and as such keep your typo's family friendly.

Think of it this way, when you talk day to day you drop a few 'big boy' words here and there and they just roll off the tongue, but it takes that extra effort to actually type them.
Try and be creative and use different adjectives to express your joy or frustration please.

Thanks.

Don't see this as a negative, it is a tool to allow the Moderators to manage the forums better and more efficiently. Please read the rules as a refresher.
