No Topic Diversion -avoid posting off-topic comments on a certain thread so as to avoid diverting from the real topic. Follow-up posts are allowed as long as it can link to the topic in any way. This rule may be disregarded in the Basket Forum.

Accusing People is also prohibited. -DON'T MENTION NAMES (even student's or teacher's name) during or in a sensitive discussion (badmouthing, or accusing with or without evidence of that person's misconduct). Use Asterisk ( * ) to sensor letters for the name. e.g. M*r**t*
No Spamming. - spam posts consist of useless sentences or posts with too few words. e.g.("yea,lol" "fdkqewfmifjmf" etc.)
No Flaming - Flaming another user is prohibited no matter who started the flame wars.
No Heavy Cursing - Light cursing is allowed provided you sensor some of the letters. e.g.(S**t)
No Double Posting - Use the [EDIT] button to modify your posts instead of posting continuously. failure to do so will result in a warning.
No website advertising - especially those "make money" links and game links. Don't start threads with false titles to lure others into clicking your link for your own benefit, even if it is for a game you are playing. failure to comply would be dealt with strictly.
*note* links to sites are allowed as long as it is for the sake of information, or under a request.

A thread can be locked or closed for more feedbacks upon request by the thread author; when he is satisfied with the answers in his thread.
-THREAD MOVING-
A topic can be moved if it falls in the wrong forum category.
-THREAD SPLITTING-
Thread splitting is applied on a thread wherein another topic creates another chain of discussion while totally diverting from the original topic.
A thread would be divided from where the diverted discussion started and would then become a new thread wherein the first poster would be the author.
Splitting is also applied when merging to topics.

Any post can be edited if contents somehow violated any of the rules. The reason would be properly indicated once editing is done.

MODS are entrusted members personally appointed by ADMIN to moderate the forums ; hence, have the right to use the mentioned privileges.
Please do respect them and don't take their job personally. If you feel something unfair/wrong/abusive with their course of action, don't take it in forums and try to PM the MOD to make it less public as possible. If you're still not settled, send the admin a personal complaint.
If you have a problem with a Staff member or Mod, do not make it public, this will result in a warning if not a ban. If you have a problem with them take it to PM, PM them and explain the situation, and if that does not resolve your problem, PM admin or jlynrd13 or pipe.
