Rules of this Forum.
This forum is an English only forum, all posts, or written material "Must Be" translated into "English", remember, Google Translate is your friend!
1 - Everyone must treat each other with dignity and respect, Forum Administrators and Moderators and any other Staff Members designated on this forum reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to delete or modify forum posts, revoke membership to the forum, block access to the forum, modify Your account profile, or modify any User Content on the forum. You should contact the Forum Manager directly with any complaint, grievance or problem.
2 - You further acknowledge that anything You upload, submit, post, transmit, communicate, share or exchange by means of any Public Forum may be viewed on the Internet by the general public, and therefore, You have no expectation of privacy with regard to any such submission or posting. You are, and shall remain, solely responsible for the User Content you upload, submit, post, transmit, communicate, share or exchange by means of any Public Forum and for the consequences of submitting or posting the same.
3 - Should you copy whole, or in part, any written material owned by someone else, you will reference the original or creator of said material in your post. Plagiarism is a serious crime in a court of law, and could lead to a jail term or fine or both. If you are trying or being a participant in attacking what someone else has written, do your homework first. Make sure you have the facts to backup what you are trying to establish as false information against anyone else, and reference your factual evidence in your post so others can review your evidence.
4 - Racism will not be tolerated in any form of User Content you upload, submit, post, transmit, communicate, share or exchange by means of any Public Forum.
5 - Proboards forums are rated PG13 so please keep swearing and graphic content out of this Forum, swear filter is on though I know someone will find a way to skirt the filter, and Staff will plug the hole, The use of links, or platforms that use links to pornographic sites is a TOS Violation and will be removed! Foul or disgusting language will be removed.
6 - What is the difference between "Fact" and "A personal view?" Fact requires evidence that supports your point of view, such as, a link/s to a reputable information site eg; Wikipedia or from someone of repute like a well known journalist in your community or someone for Staff to be able to check the evidence you have supplied etc. A personal view does not require factual evidence as such and can be debated without consequence.
"Posting privileges are by members only. We have disabled "Guest" posting and will continue this way for some time to come." All prospective "new members" will be auto placed into a restricted group specifically tailor made for this purpose, read below!
7 - We as the Staff of this Forum have decided to leave the way everybody registers as a permanent fixture, unique to this and our other forum. Everything is still in place as usual. So if you are not an "Advertiser", click reply and tell us, and we will sort this problem out a.s.a.p. Remember, for as long as you are a member of this restricted group, posting is allowed in this one category until removed from this group and placed into the "general public" of this forum. Say nothing meaning post nothing, and you will be banned and then booted.
If your offense is any other offense against the Rules of this Forum, such as, using banned names like "account_deleted", posting in areas you shouldn't, or "Proboards TOS Violations", Instant quarantine will be forced upon you.
7B - All those who are in the group "Advertiser' will remain in that Group, until you Post in the only place you are allowed. Click on the thread "I am not an Advertiser, click the reply button and tell us about yourself, then click "Save Changes" Log out of the forum and come back later. You will not be able to see anything on this Forum but one post relevant to the position you now find yourself in until released by a Moderator. All our Mods/Admins are from the same country so everything here is relevant to NZ Time and date.
8 - IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Should you be one of the lucky ones removed from the "Advertiser" group, your posting and thread creation privileges are fully restored. However, should you then post ads anywhere, change your name or use any language other than "English", staff will ban, then boot you.
Please be patient when you first join this Forum, we are not online 24/7 just like you are not online that long. All Staff are from the same country, so it may take time to release you from this restriction imposed on all new members.
This is it for now till I think of something else.
