Team and Forum Rules

[GM - Hazzardmatt]

These are the rules by which all members must abide. Most of them are simply common sense and we probably don't need to post them. But from my experience, if you don't do it, then there is always one ignorant person that will break them saying that they didn't know.

This is just what I came up with so far. If I think of anything else, I'll add to it. Same thing will happen if an incident I did not think of comes up. If you have any suggestions, feel free to email me.

1 - Absolutely no comments, messages (private or not) or links to exterior websites containing the following types of content will EVER be tolerated :

- Racism (including sexual orientation, religion, political views, etc.)
- Pornography (of any kind)
- Excessive use of bad language or swearing
-

2 - Always respect each other. I have no problem with a little trash talk, but keep it within limits.

3 - If you have a problem with anything or anyone, please don't take it to the forum. I don't care what you do in your own time, but this forum is not the place to spill your heart. If you have a problem with another team member, same thing goes. Send me an email and I'll do my best to resolve the issue.

4 - Show some maturity. There is no age limit on the team but should anyone act like they are 13 yrs old boys... they'll be treated as such and booted out of the team. the goal is to have fun here and I don't intend to run a babysitting service.

5 - When posting messages on the forum, please use proper and ligible english. I don't mind the use of some slang or contractions (ei: text messaging style), but I don't want to have to get a translator to read your post. Any post with too many of those in it will simply be deleted without warning.

6- If you witness any rule infractions, please contact me either by email or PM. Do not deal with it directly on the forum.

7- Depending on the severity of the infraction, consequences will vary from a simple warning to suspension or expulsion from the team. I will be the only one to make such decision although I reserve the right consult with some other team members.

8- If you wish to quit the team, for any reason, please be kind enough to contact me by email or post a message on the forum. It's simply polite to do so.

9- Final rule : USE YOUR BRAIN. If you think you shouldn't do it or it would be improper to do with your mom looking over your shoulder, then DON'T DO IT. If you have any questions, send me a message. Better be safe than sorry.

Cheers,

Matt
