Forum Rules

Member Conduct & Etiquette

  • No flaming or name calling. Be respectful of other posters. This rule applies to posts made on the open board, as well as to Private Messages (PM's) sent to fellow members. Flaming, name calling, harassment in any form will absolutely not be tolerated. This type of conduct can and will result in temporary suspension or permanent suspension. Each individual situation will be dealt with accordingly. Flaming or name calling of (past/current/future) contestants or fan bases is also not allowed as it is sure to result in arguments/fights between board members. Any such violation will be evaluated case by case and will also be dealt with accordingly.
  • We do not allow the use of direct profanity on the forums. The use of abbreviations such as "wtf" will most likely not get you banned but use your common sense. This includes posting of graphics with profanity in the text or links that direct others to material containing profanity in any form (ie. video, audio, graphics, etc.)
  • Derogatory terms are not allowed especially those used to address a person's race, ethnicity, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation or disability.
  • All posts should be PG-13. Mature conversations such as sex, masturbation, etc. do not belong on this board as this is a family message board.
  • No excessive post spamming inside forums. This applies to all forums/all sections. Any such messages will be removed at the discretion of either a forum moderator or administrator.
  • No SHOUTING. It’s just plain rude and annoying. Typing in ALL CAPS may result in your post being deleted. Same applies for AlTeRnAcApS.
  • Post to the correct forum and only that forum. Do not post the same thread in more than one forum even if it pertains to more than one. This is known as cross-posting.
  • All milestones topics (ie: topics congratulating a person for achieving a certain post count) must be created in the Games & Chatter forum. Topics of this nature created anywhere else will be moved. 
  • Posts should be in English only. Non-English posts may be removed.
  • Fanfics are not allowed on the board

Moderation Policy

  • Neurox Media and its staff are under no obligation to moderate or police these forums. Non-enforcement or failure of strict enforcement of the rules outlined on this page should not be construed as a waiver of rights by Neurox Media. We will moderate only when deemed necessary and at our sole discretion.
  • Neurox Media reserves the right to perform any action which includes, but is not limited to: moving, closing, editing or deleting of any posting, profile, avatar and/or signature for any reason whatsoever at our sole discretion, without prior notification or explanation to the user. Consequently, moderators reserve the right to suspend/ban any user for posts they feel do not comply with the forum rules. Keep your posts in line and you'll be fine. Moderators reserve the right to suspend/ban any user for not complying with the forum rules.
  • Please be respectful when interacting with our forum moderators and administrators. They all work to make this a better place for free. Abusive posts directed toward any moderator or administrator will result in severe consequences to the poster.
  • Moderation actions are not up for debate or public scrutiny. Any topics or posts intended to question moderator actions (whether justified or not) will be closed/deleted and the member will be dealt with severely, usually leading up to suspension or removal from the boards permanently.

     

    If you have a question/problem regarding a moderator action, the proper process is to send that moderator a Private Message (PM) in a respectful and non-demanding/non-threatening tone. Abusive PM's sent to moderators will result in severe consequences to the sender. If you cannot reason with a moderator, please contact an administrator. Do not contact an administrator unless you have first attempted to resolve the matter with the moderator.

  • Do not involve yourself in arguments or flaming threads with other members. Opinions will inevitably vary amongst the member population on these boards. If you end up saying something you shouldn't have, we'll have no choice but be forced to suspend/remove you. Many previously banned members have come to regret what they have said in these situations and there is nothing we can do for them after the fact. If you see others bashing/fighting, report the post to us, do not let your emotions consume you. Do not involve yourself and risk your account.

Account Policy

  • Each forums member is limited to one account/username/alias, unless otherwise authorized by a Neurox Media Administrator. Creating multiple accounts will result in all accounts being permanently suspended.
  • Creating additional accounts while under suspension or under review will automatically result in all accounts being banned permanently, even if you're later discovered to be not at fault.
  • Do not impersonate other individuals or falsely represent yourself, doing so will result in permanent suspension. Do not create multiple accounts for the purpose of impersonating others or misrepresenting yourself, doing so will also result in permanent suspension, in addition, all accounts belonging to any individual doing so will be permanently suspended.
  • Do not post messages or posts for members that have been banned, the same goes for members that have been suspended. Any messages posted for banned/suspended members will be deleted and the member that posted the message will be dealt with accordingly.
