NukeForums.com has the most clear and fair rules around and so we quote them here now:
Without rules chaos invariably follows, which is why we take them very seriously, and expect every member to adhere to them!
IronManMagazine.com is a place where people come together to get the latest contest coverage and photos, stay informed on bodybuilding and fitness news, and seek help on their training and nutrition. It is NOT the classifieds. Members with commercial interests such as web hosts are certainly welcome to participate and contribute to the discussions, but must do so without excessively plugging their own services and products.
Signature Rules:
-------------------
IronManMagazine.com does allow members to attach a signature to the end of their posts. HOWEVER, DO NOT ABUSE THIS FEATURE! If you want people to contact you then place it in your profile! NO EXCEPTIONS!
Posting Rules:
----------------
1] Post Bumping - You may NOT bump (reply to) your own thread with no reason other than to bring it to the top of the listings. If your post was not answered then think about where you posted your topic. Change the topic to be more meaningful. The more informative your topic post, the faster someone will help you.
2] Idiot Topics - These include topics such as "Pls hlp me!", "HELP!!!!", "HELP ME!", "Problem!", I can't", "Error on page", "Question", "Couple of Questions", "Simple Questions...I hope", "A Few Questions", "Issues", "A Couple of Issues", "Some Issues", "A Few Issues", "I can't find this", "What is this?", and the list goes on.
Also included in the "I'm Too Dense to Think" topics are adding "!!!!!!!!!!!", "????????" and/or "!?!?!?!?!?!" to Topics. I am not sure where this idea come from but around here we have a quick ceremony that lasts 1/1000000 of a second and then the post is sent to Bit Heaven.
3] Harassment - This will NOT be tolerated. YOU WILL BE BANNED!
4] Always exercise common courtesy and respect for your fellow members when posting. In other words, treat others as you would like to be treated. Rude, demeaning, or insulting comments have no place here, neither do members posting them.
Replying Rules:
------------------
1] Yelling - All topic posts that are in UPPERCASE will be purged unless there is good reason for it like you lost the use of your fingers, your dog chewed your keyboard, etc.
The above rules will be strictly enforced and may be changed at any time. For intentional violations, there is no warning notice and you will be banned. For other members they may only receive 1 warning, with a second violation resulting in being permanent banned from the IronManMagazine.com web site. |
