Basic posting rules

[Raven]

1. Before opening a new thread (topic) always check if you are in right board and if there has been anything written regarding your subject. If there is already topic that is related to yours post in there, if not open a new one.

2. When answering or quoting other members post stick to the topic of thread. Do NOT pull thread into other subjects. You can always post a new topic and than add a link to other topic that is partly connected to yours.

3. Posting of pictures is allowed as long as you have copyrights or consent of owner. Do NOT post more than 3 pictures at once unless pictures are resized to smaller format and will not take long to load.

4. Posting ANY kind of material that is not owned by you must have consent from author. If asked for it you must provide consent to admin or post will be edited and copyright content will be removed.

5. There is 5 minute time limit on editing of posts after those 5 minutes you are not able to edit posts so before you press POST button click on PREVIEW and read your post through to check it for errors, see if pictures are showing and so on.

6. If you have a problem with other member/s do NOT try to resolve it on board instead use email or private messages (PM). You can also report it to admin.

7. Silent campaigning for or against members, kennels, dogs is NOT allowed. Honest critics pose no problems as long as they are public and real.

8. Any kind of ganging, grouping will result first in warnings than in ban.
Ganging, grouping ? forming groups of members that have intent of destroying other members, kennels, dogs reputation, good name, credibility by use of forum, private messages (contacting other members with all kinds of accusations, lies and related)

By breaking any of above rules you will get a warning. After you have been warned 3 times you will be banned. There are different kinds of ban:
-minor violation of forum rules will result in temporary ban or ban that will prevent you from posting
-serious violation of forum rules will result in immediate ban which will not be removed and your ISP (internet service provider) will be contacted.

This is not totally democratic forum and we will not argue with anyone about our decisions. Rules are not debatable.

If anyone brakes above rules you can report him/her to admin and we will investigate.

Rules are valid from 4. January 2006
