IMPORTANT: Webmaster Hangout Forum Rules (12-5-2002 until 07-29-2004)
Welcome to the RULES....
We want to grow and keep the Webmaster Hangout forum as a leading, top notch forum for webmasters. A place where can learn, share, and master the web together!
In order for us all to enjoy our visits to Webmaster Hangout, a few rules need to be placed and followed...
1. No spamming or Affiliate Links.
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: empty posts, posts with few words that have no relation to the current thread or discussion and those posts that state they are spam, either to annoy or increase a member's post count. This determination is made by the forum Moderator or Administrator and is not up for discussion. Affiliate links give posters an unfair advantage over others. As well, affiliate links may lead to false representation simply in the effort to gain a lead or referral. Therefore, Affiliate links will be modified or deleted.
2. Keep things Legal
No Warez or Illegal Software. This includes linking to illegal downloads of not only software, but copyrighted images that must be purchased, movies, and other items being illegally distributed.
3. No Profanity or Adult links.
While profanity, when used properly, is an effective way of conveying emotion and/or thoughts, when abused it can be detrimental and offensive. Please keep in mind that we do have young people browsing these forums. Therefore, no profanity should be used. If used, it will be edited.
4. Be Respectful!
No Flames of any kind against a member, or group of members. Flames are considered a deliberate personal attack on another member or group of members. Having a difference of opinion is fine, but if it gets out of hand and turns into a fight to get the biggest jab at the other person, then its gone too far.
If you are a long standing member, act like one. Lead by example and assist other newer members rather then attacking them. We look upon our veteran members to use this opportunity to teach the newer members the appropriate way to use these message boards.
Treat new members with respect, and visa versa. You were new at one point, as was everyone else. Please treat newcomers to the forums with respect, and new members should treat everyone else the same way.
5. Stay on Topic.
Posts in a particular forum need try and stay on topic. If you want to talk about something that is drastically removed from the topic of a forum, please take it to another, correct topic. We welcome most general conversation in the "Shoot the Breeze" forum.
6. Image use.
We have disabled the use of images in signatures and posts. No Avatar, Custom Title, and/or Username Changing Abuse. These are a luxury and abuse of them will result in them being lost.
7. Signature Use.
Please keep your signature to 3 lines or less. It helps keep our threads cleaner looking.
8. Enjoy yourself!
You can have a great time posting and we look forward to your feedback.
The Webmaster Hangout Administrators and Moderators reserve the right to change or alter these rules at any time. Anything not expressly covered in these rules is subject to an Administrator/Moderator's approval. An Administrator and/or Moderator’s word is final.
