-----======= The 5 Commandments ========-----
1: Thou shalt not post offensive material.
-- Pornography and forthwither images of people's heads being blown to smitherines (except by the Sniper Cannon) count as offensive material.
- - - - ---------=======================================--------- - - - - -
2: Thou shalt remember that thy fellow poster could be thy mom, brother, sister, wife/husband, etc, and should thus be regarded with such pro-human esteem.
-- Speak to others as if you were speaking to their faces. This shall be a forum of respect, as far too many online places don't heed this mentality, and are thus abound in damaging, inconsiderate fools who speak as if they have no mothers.
- - - - ---------=======================================--------- - - - - -
3: Thou shalt not be a psychological vampire.
-- This is not a democracy. Users who are noted to have a track-record of particularly negative replies to others will not be tolerated in the slightest. It doesn't matter if they prey on legitimate flaws that they spot in others, such as mispoken phrases, etc: if the put-downs are heartless, frequent, or both, the vampire will be banned, and banned hard. We prioritize people's feelings far above petty corrections that are regularly posted in order to boost one's ego at the expense of the other's self-esteem.
- - - - ---------=======================================--------- - - - - -
4: Thou shalt not stir up any kind of verbal trouble.
-- Starting heated arguments (or diving headlong into them), making aggressive political/opinionated claims, and responding to others with outright, thoughtless rejection of their point of view is considered stirring up verbal trouble.
- - - - ---------=======================================--------- - - - - -
5: Thou shalt configure your forum settings to your liking.
-- Do not neglect thy user preferences! Forthwither fools fall into the trap of noobishness, and have no avatars, no signatures, and no instant email notification of replies to their own threads.
Press agree if thou dost agree indeed.
