Please read the all forum rules prior to posting.
While staff will do our best to keep the forum clear of spam and offensive content we are only human. Please bear in mind this is a free forum and the opinions expressed are those of the author of the message posted, not of the staff or ProBoards.

A. Users may only register one account. If a user is banned or on probation they may not make another account. If a user on probation makes another account both accounts will be banned.
B. You may not share your account with a user who has been banned or is on probation. Sharing your account will put your account in probation or cause the account to be banned depending on the infraction. Any user on probation who uses another persons account will be banned from the forum.
C. Private messages are to be kept between the involved parties{except in cases messages are submitted to moderaters for reasons such as spam and harassment}. Sharing private messages on the forum without written permission from the other user will result in probation, if the problem continues the offender will be banned.
02. User interactions
A. Any users found by the Moderators to be harassing other users will be warned or put on probation. In some cases this may lead to a user being banned without warning or probation depending on the severity of the offense. Harassing is defined by Merriam-Webster as " to annoy or bother{someone} in a consistent way"

03. Pictures/Video and other content.

If you hotlink a image and the result is pornographic/inappropriate you will be banned.
D. Images that do not have women wearing at minimum appropriate bikini bottoms{no g-strings, thongs, ect}, and a respectful covered top half will be removed. Images of men are subject to the same rules with the addition of no bulges in the lower region. Genitals, pubes, nipples and breasts must be covered and the fabric not see through. A user may be warned or put on probation in these instances, if behavior does not stop they will be banned.
04. Probation and Banning will depend on the infraction and the Moderator handling the situation at the time general guidelines follow.
A. A users first probation for a minor offense will be 3-5 days. For major offenses the probation period will be 6-10 days

The rules listed here are a more detailed list as it applies to this forum. Anything within this list that is in contradiction to Proboard TOS will be corrected as the Administration becomes aware of it. Any conflict in use the ProBoards TOS will be the version followed.
