Site Rules
This site is intended for the civil use of our members. As such, certain behavior while posting is expected. Any breech of these rules will result in appropriate disciplinary action at the administration's sole discretion, up to and including the full revocation of your access to this site. Global rules
While public discussion of moderator decisions is frowned upon, it is not expressly prohibited. We ask that if someone has an issue with the way a situation was handled to try to resolve the issue over PMs, as this will generally receive a more positive response than if someone is trying to address the situation in public. In the instance of a moderator decision or policy is questioned within a public setting, we ask that it is done in a respectful and constructive manner, otherwise see the rule regarding harassment, flaming, trolling, etc. Official warnings by moderators and administrators will now be idenifiable as yellow text, preferrably bolded, ie: "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit..."
