Rule Number 1:  Do not do ANYTHING illegal here.  Period.

Do not post material involving minors & sex on this forum.

Do not post pictures containing nudity.

Do not launch personal attacks against other members of this forum.

This is an ENGLISH ONLY forum. Our systems personnel speak ENGLISH and cannot properly moderate the forum if other languages are being used. Non-English posts will be deleted promptly, and user who continue to use non-English will be deleted.

Debate, do not attack. We want a friendly exchange of ideas, NOT a battlefield. It's fine to kid around with people, but when the discussion degenerates into a shitfight, then that's when the forum moderators will start hitting the delete button. Nobody wants to read a hundred "F-yous" posted back and forth between a couple morons. Simply put: Don't be a prick.

Please use one of the major file sharing sites if you want to post a video clip or other large file here.

Examples of such sites are: MediaFire, Rapidshare, Egoshare and Sendmefile. They all have free versions. Posting files on one of those sites is greatly preferable to burning up our measly amount of bandwidth. This forum is free and we want to keep it that way. MediaFire and Rapidshare are the best. But, keep in mind, none of them are perfect - especially if you use the free versions. They all suck in one way or another. MediaFire and Rapidshare suck the least.

Do not post video files, photos, stories or other exclusive content from any pay websites.

This material is not free and such posts will be deleted immediately.  One exception to this rule is samples posted by the site owners themselves. Those are fine and appreciated.

Password sharing is STRICTLY prohibited.

Sharing or trading passwords to any site is exactly the kind of thing that hurts everyone. If we catch you doing it, your user account will be deleted and your IP address will be reported to the site owner. Think about the big picture, folks. If you enjoy website content, then support the people who produce it. Otherwise, they go away and we all suffer.

Do not mindlessly trash someone else's contribution to this forum.

If someone posts a photo, link or video clip that you don't like, it is not acceptable to say: "That's garbage. What a waste of time!" Posts like that will be deleted by the moderators. They add nothing to the discussion. They simply discourage people from contributing to the forum. If you don't like a particular contribution, then just move on to the next message. No need to be a prick. If you insist on criticizing, then give us a reasonable explanation of why you don't like the submission. At least that is somewhat valuable to people on slow internet connections who are trying to decide whether to download the file.

Do not harass any member of this forum with excessive private messages or chat requests.

I know it sounds ridiculous to put such a rule in writing. You'd think people would know this without being told. But we have had serious problems with hate-mail spammers on this forum. Don't do it or your user account will be deleted and, as a last resort, your IP address may be banned.
