We believe in freedom of speech. While we do our best to stand strong behind this idea, we do realize that a few rules must be established. By posting on this forum you agree with these rules.
While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we think appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
Behaviour:
* Be civilized or get lost.
* Promoting drugs, suicide, self-harm, homophobia, etc. is not allowed. Posts containing this will be deleted.
* To respect their privacy and that of their loved ones; no aspect of the bandmembers' private lives, or that of their loved ones, friends and family are to be discussed on this forum, unless one of the guys mentions an aspect of his private life in a reliable source. If so, then only that particular subject can be talked about. As soon as it goes too far, threads will be locked.
* Don't cause drama. We're here to have a good time, don't ruin that. Threads will be locked when we feel it is going too far.
* Do not flame, or insult, another user; such messages will always be edited out or subject to deletion. Flames against any religion because of their beliefs will not be tolerated either. Vulgar language, harassment, derogatory slurs, sexism, and slander will not be tolerated, as will user pictures containing inappropriate messages or themes.
* We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
* Try to keep your hormones under control.
* Treat other forum users the way you would like to be treated. Use common courtesy.
* Be careful how you write your messages as interpretation will vary from person to person. Please take advantage of the built-in emoticons to add such expression to your words.
* Don't take conflicting views as personal criticism.
Language:
* All posts have to be in English. If you want to speak other languages, stick to PMs or add each other to msn. Anything we don't understand will be deleted.
* On that account: stick to proper English, so no slang, AOL speak etc. (U kno wot I mean, rite?). Use capitals where they are needed, don't TyPe LiKe ThIs, it's very annoying. Speak English, and speak it correctly, or don't bother. Grab a dictionary. Use it. Run a spellcheck. Please.
Posting:
* Double posting: please allow other users to reply before you post again. If you forgot something in your original post, use the edit function.
* If you want to post a picture on the forum, please make sure it is no bigger than 400x400 pixels. (There are instances when this rule will be overlooked, such as with show posters. However, images of a larger size will only be allowed with Administrator approval.)
* New topics should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", "I have a question!" are subject to being edited.
* Do not post any material which is false or inaccurate. Please give the source from which you get your information. This gives the info credibility.
* Do not post any personal information. Better safe than sorry. Any information such as your address or phone number will be deleted if posted.
* Posting private discussions (conducted through e-mail or instant messaging) can be done only with permission from the original individual(s).
* Discussion of illegal activities such as music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed. Buy the originals, don't download.
* Check if a topic already exists before you open a new one. This goes for ALL forums. The search button is your friend & is rather masochistic. It likes to be used, so use it. And please keep posts in the proper forums.
* We understand that the guys are good looking. However try to keep posts mentioning this fact to a minimum.
User ID:
* Creating a user ID with the sole purpose of promoting other websites and generating traffic to that site will be considered spam and is not allowed.
* Each member is allowed one user ID. Registering with multiple IDs is not allowed. If we find out that you have another user ID, it will be deleted. This rule may be overlooked under certain circumstances. Always check with an Administrator first!
Forum features:
* Animated signatures and avatars are NOT allowed. The maximum size of avatars is 100x100 pixels and the maximum size of signatures is 200 pixels high or 500 pixels wide (pictures that are 200 pixels x 500 pixels are not allowed). Keep them as small as possible. Work with us on this; we want to keep this forum up and running. Incorrect avatars and signatures will be removed and the user sent a PM.
Finally:
* Do not argue with the enforcement of these rules. If you are asked to comply, comply.
* These rules can change without prior notice.
* If you have a different opinion on how a forum should be ran, respect our view and move on.
Sincerely,
