Even mere discussions of the like are not allowed. In addition to that, debates, defense and advocacy of the above is forbidden. Violation of this rule can mete harsh punishments. 2. No excessive use of profanity. Mild use of profanity is ok, but if its too blatant, well have to give you a warning. Depending on the offense, Moderators may mete punishment right away if the profanity is extreme, even if they are genuine game complaints. 3. No Flaming, keep your cool! This is a staple of Netiquette (online etiquette), but for the uninitiated, flaming means typing in CAPITAL LETTERS LIKE THIS, because itll mean youre shouting. Many discussions degenerate into arguments when people begin to shout, and it also holds true online. Posts considered as flaming includes extremely large font sizes, posts colored in red, sarcasm, and the like. Bad service, lag, frustrations, among other things, are no excuse to flame. Besides, such posts attract flames too, resulting in a cyberinferno. That is one scenario that will not be tolerated here. Such grievances can be expressed in a civilized way. 4. No sexually explicit or graphically violent images (or links leading to websites with these type of content). Please keep your pr0n and rotten collection away from the minors in the boards. Let's keep innocent minds as innocent. Thank you. 5. Minimize one-liners and off-topic posts. The occasional bump is ok, but too much and youll be branded a flooder, which can earn you a warning from the mods. Blatant off-topic posting can earn an immediate ban, in extreme cases. Off topic posting, like creating a typical discussion at the barter boards, will cause your message there to be deleted without warning. 6. Don't spam the boards with the same message. Spamming is repeatedly posting the same topic in different forums of the NeemDirect Boards, in the hopes that the message will be seen by all. This is a bad habit by certain individuals. This act can merit instant account termination, even if your message has something meaningful or important. 7. Always check if the topic youll be posting has been posted already. Just so we can avoid a flood of Duh! Thats been posted before, ######! from other posters. You can use the search function of the boards to check if the topic youll be posting has been brought up already before. 8. Post legibly. Because not all readers 4r3 l337 haxx0rz or çǺ\|\\| rΞǺd Ǻ$ç\|\|, r\|ģh+ż 9. Limit your sigs. As much as possible, limit the size of your signatures to 5 lines of 10pt text (whew! That was a mouthful!). Sigs that violate this rule may be edited without warning. 10. No trolling. Trolling is willfull harrassment of the community, its authorities (Admins, MODs) and users. They are also called nuisance users. Trolling, harrassment, and creating disorder is definitely not tolerated here. Returning users (previously banned) deemed as trolls that do not show any sign of improvement or attonement will be banned again without any warning at all. 11. Please be careful of what you link to. When showing something, please make sure that it is viewable (no bandwidth limit, otherwise, provide alternate links), wholesome, and safe. Links that are not appropriate, dangerous, or breaks the rules in and out of boards will be edited out. 12. If you lost your password for your NeemDirect Boards account, don't make a new account. Use the forgot password feature of the boards. 13. Give respect to everyone in the boards. Just as you would like to be respected, get the first initiative and be respectful of others. It has good results and good karma too. Especially give respect to people in authority, like the Moderators and Administrators. 14. Have FUN! Very Important. The guidelines are for everyone's enjoyment, and when everyone observes the rules, everyone is happy. Makes sense, doesn't it? Forum Administrators and Moderators retain exclusive rights as to determine what breaks a rule, and also reserves the right to ban any user, at any time, and for any reason. By registering and posting on the boards, you have agreed to obey the guidelines. Violation of the guidelines earns you a Warning. Further offenses will result in Account Suspension, Permanent Moderator Preview, Posting Disability and/or Permanent Ban, as per discretion of the Forum Admin or Mod on duty. Moderators and Administrators may upgrade the punishment, or instantly ban a user when it is deemed necessary. They can downgrade the warning if an erring member mend his ways. Discplinary actions meted towards a user are considered final and unappealable. Forum guidelines are subject to changes without prior notice. Any changes in the guidelines has a retroactive effect. It is the responsibility of the user to check the rules to be updated. Ignorance of the above is no excuse. Happy posting!
