I have been giving this some thought and I have decided that it would be a good idea to put up some basic rules that must be abided by on this forum , I've decided to put these up now as to stop any confusion at a later date.
(1) I will not tolerate any racist remarks of any kind on these boards , I do not like personal attacks of any kind but i can also spot when someone is being goaded into things so please none of that on here.
(2) If I deem an ongoing disagreement or heated debate to be heading towards chaos I will intervene and ask that it is immediately stopped , if involved party's wish to continue the arguement/debate further then they should do so via PM or Messenger etc. If said arguement/debate continues on the board after my intervention then a strike shall be awarded to any party continuing it on.
(3) I have no problem with people expressing their opinion or their way of doing things , the problem arises when agression is put into play. I will not allow this but again I can also spot when someone is being lured into a confrontation , again if two or more people have an issue with each other then please take it away from the boards .... i don't care what you do in PM , if your daft enough to get involved in a PM war please don't come to me trying to get someone in trouble , you have a choice to ignore the PM's.
(4) If you have an issue with anything please contact me or one of my superb moderators , we will do what we can to help.
(5) If one of my moderators deems a thread to be in bad taste/chaotic in my absence they have the right to lock the thread and/or move it to the Mod HQ board for my attention on arrival.
(6) Mod's are not beyond punishment , if any Mod here acts unprofessional or biased or conducts themself with a bad and horrible attitude in my opinion then they are also open to a strike. A strike in a mod's reputation casts doubt on them being suitable mod material , this I would consider at length. Two strike's against a Mod will definately result in a temporary loss of Moderator position whilst a third strike in a 12 month span will see that Moderator position stripped permenantly. I have great faith in my moderators and doubt that this will even come into play , I must stress that at this point if a moderator is goaded then it is acceptable for said moderator to defend oneself ..... but there are limits lol.
(7) I run a strike system , 3 strikes in any 12 month period and you are out. A ban may be lifted by myself if you can convince me and give me good reason to , if you are allowed back and you are still in that 12 month period then a 4th strike will see you gone for good .. no buts , ifs or whats.
(8) This forum is here to share information , photo's and have fun .... I intend it to stay that way so please bare that in mind when tempted to react to something in a negative way.
(9) Okay the big one , in all correspondance to myself whether it be post , email or PM you should refer to me as Sir , Master or Lord ... HAHAHAHAHAHA , nah I am joking .... well unless you really feel compelled to LOL , nah there is no number 9 ... I'm just pulling on ya chain , I'll answer to anything me hehe .... Just have funs peeps!!
