POSTING GUIDELINES
1. Stick to the topic when responding to posts created by others.
2. When creating your own post in the form of a topic, please choose the appropriate forum and give it a clear and concise title.
3. Before creating a new topic, or asking a new question, consider using the Search function to see whether it has already been addressed. If it has, post your new topic only if the previous thread has already been closed. Note that if you believe that your topic is related to an existing one but with significant differences, feel free to create the new topic (but make sure to address the difference).
4. This is a public forum, so please consider very carefully before posting your own personal information. Posting personal information of anyone else is a major violation of the rules of conduct for this forum and will result in the deletion of the topic/reply and a warning
Rules on appropriate behaviours
1. Be respectful towards other forum members.
2. Don’t be offensive, abusive or cause harassment.
3. Do not post content that is not safe for work. This includes sexual, hateful, racist, homophobic, sexist, provocative or vulgar content.
4. External sources should always be used with proper reference that can be accessed and verified.
5. DO NOT reveal anyone’s identity by posting their personal information unless that information has already been revealed publicly by that person on the forum. 6. Just utilise common-sense rules of being nice; this is a forum for the discussion of the sport of airsoft, not flame-war territory.
7. Don’t be a dick. If you think you are being a dick, you are. Rights of moderators moderators can, at their own discretion: a. close topics or forums; b. edit topics or replies (but only by clearly displaying their edits); c. move topics or replies to the appropriate topic/forum, if necessary; and d. delete topics or replies.
Consequences of breaking the rules Breaking the rules of appropriate behaviour will have the following consequences:
1. Minor infractions will get a warning; unless the post is edited to comply with the rules within 24 hours of the warning, it will be deleted.
2. Repeated minor infractions will result in a temporary ban or, at the discretion of the committee, a permanent ban.
3. Major infractions, such as posting personal information or behaviour deemed completely unacceptable by the moderator, will get a temporary ban; or, at the discretion of the committee, a permanent ban.
