Here are some general rules that all members should try to follow while on the forum:
* Respect all the members of our forum.
Be nice to one another, guys. If two members have a problem with each other, and a fight breaks out between you in a thread, make sure you take it to a PM, or to the chat room with one of the admins so that you can sort it out. Don't clog the forum with flames and hatred.
* No inappropriate content.
No content containing nudity or graphic violence will be permitted on the forum. Period. If a website you post a link to contains material that may be inappropriate to some viewers, label it as such.
* Minimize use of offensive words.
Cursing should be kept to a minimum, and no racial or gender-based slurs will be permitted. Even though this is not a school-affiliated website, we need to be courteous to the members of the club who may find those things offensive.
* Make sure you post topics in the right places.
Read the descriptions on each of the boards before you decide to post something. I, for one, don't want to spend time moving misplaced posts all day. Use your judgment.
* Do not stretch the board with large images...
...in your signature or in a post. An image larger than 540 pixels will stretch the board. Vertically, the entire signature should not exceed 300 pixels. Avatars should not exceed 50kb in filesize. The fact that they get resized makes no difference. In addition, if your post somehow ends up stretching the board without images, like you've posted a code or long URL and it causes the board to stretch, modify your post and fix it. Put a space somewhere in the long line, or whatever you have to do.
* Please keep posting.
If nobody posts, the forum can quickly become a ghost town, and all the work that has been put into the forum will go to waste if nobody uses it. Try to post at least once a week if you can. There's no minimum, but it would be nice if we all worked together to keep this forum alive!
* Smile! ^_^
Again, be courteous to all members... everyone has a right to be here!
