MadJeff 3 Posted February 21, 2003 After the last few days I have had to deal with several issues and now feel I need to do this officially. BiohazCentral has few forum rules, and luckily we have a great bunch of people here so most of the time they are not needed. You guys police yourselves pretty good. That being said, there are a few forum rules here that must be followed or face expulsion from the site: NO PERSONAL ATTACKS ARE ALLOWED What constitutes a personal attack? Things like name-calling, belittling other people who's views you do not agree with, things like that. Use common sense, people. I don't mind friendly disagreements, if we all agree on everything it would get pretty boring around here. But blatent attacks against people or other sites will not be tolerated. You will get a friendly warning to stop such attacks, after which, if it continues, a not so friendly boot out the door. I pride myself in running a community-centric, friendly forum and I want to keep it that way. :D NO DISCUSSION OF SOFTWARE PIRACY IS ALLOWED This one is pretty self-explanatory. NO PORN Another obvious one, but now no one can say they didn't know. NO POSTING OF OTHERS WORK AND CLAIMING IT AS YOUR OWN The various modders work very hard to bring you the latest skin/mod/mission, usually without any form of compensation other than the respect of the community and their own personal satisfaction. By taking someone's work and claiming it as your own, or using it as a base of work and not giving credit where credit's due is robbing them of that satisfaction, and it will not be tolerated here at BiohazCentral. NO MISREPRESENTING YOUR MILITARY CAREER Several times in the past year we have had people lie or misrepresent themselves as being someone they are not, specifically in the area of military career. This is unacceptable behavior and if proof of this behavior is found, they will be banned. MADJEFF'S WORD IS LAW The most important one of all. This is not a democracy people. I like to think of it more as a "benevolent dictatorship". I won't usually throw my weight around, but when all is said and done, I pay for this site, both with my time, and my wallet. If the moderators or I ask that you stop doing something on the forums, then please do. If there is conflicts, please email me and I will work it out between the parties involved. Other things may be added in the future as needed, but let's hope not. Like I said, use common sense. Thank you for your support! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
