Codrut Turcanu's IM Forum

[CodrutTurcanu]

Welcome to the CodrutTurcanu.com FORUM.

These rules are simple and you must agree with them before you
start using the forum (do any postings).

This document is designed to clarify various responsibilities of our
members. Please read it, become familiar with it, its terms are retroactive
and agreed by Codrut Turcanu, his moderator team and group members.

Forum rules

1. Posts are to be made in the relevant forum section.

Before you do any postings, you MUST REGISTER with an account.

Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.
Users consistently posting to the wrong forum may be given a warning
(see policing below).

2. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users.

Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a
warning.

3. Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If members
note an issue which contravenes something in this policy document they
are welcome to bring it to the attention of Codrut Turcanu and the
moderating team. Only do this if a moderator team member has not
replied within 24 hours. Do not respond to such topics yourself. Members
who constantly "act" as moderators may be warned.

4. Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience.

Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will
not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.

5. Members are asked to respect the copyright of other users, sites,
media, etc. Users linking to or asking for information on warez, crackz,
etc. or re-printing material without permission will receive a warning
and their post will be removed.

6. Members should respect the bandwidth of other users and sites. The
use of inline ([IMG][/IMG]) image tags pointing to data stored on third
party systems for which the user has not received permission to link to
may be removed.

7. Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing".
That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large,
small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use
excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts. Users
consistently abusing this will be warned.

8. Members should use an appropriate, descriptive title when posting a
new topic. Examples of bad titles include; "Help me!", "I'm stuck!", "I've
got an error!", etc. Examples of good titles include; "Getting Opt-In Page
Work", "Cannot use aweber pop-up code", etc.

9. Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes
promoting affiliate products or your own products. Recruiting members
for your own projects is not permitted and is also considered spam.
Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed.

10. Codrut Turcanu and the moderating team reserve the right to edit or
remove any post at any time. The determination of what is construed as
indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Team
Members and not users.

11. The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private
messaging (PM). Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to
warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of private messaging.

Signatures

1. Signatures may contain no more than 255 characters of text (of
small or normal size) and/or one image. Animated images are not
allowed.

2. Text sizes should be between 75% and 100% (small and normal).
Text in signatures is subject to the same conditions as posts with
respect decency, warez, emoticons, and so forth.

3. Only one url (link) is permitted in the signature file.

Linked sites may be commercial in nature. You may not include links in a
way which suggests you offer official support for our product. You may
not link to warez, porn or political, racist or other similar hate sites. Links
are included in signature size limits.

Users abusing these rules will be warned.

Avatars

Users are permitted to utilise a gallery avatar or to link to one of their
own (subject to previous points on misuse of bandwidth).

User defined avatars are to be no larger than 250 pixels square, contain
no animation, contain no image which attempts to portray the user as
having an official status here (e.g. mimicking ranks or copying avatars of
team members), may not exceed 9kB (9000 Bytes) in file size and have a
consistently high availability (i.e. links to images on slow servers or those
prone to failure may be removed)

Avatars are subject to the same conditions as posts with respect decency, and so forth.

Users abusing these rules will be warned and/or may lose their avatar privileges

Policing

We operate a three strike policy. Users will be warned a maximum
of three times for any and all offences in a three month period. If the need
arises for a fourth warning a temporary ban will be put in place of
between 1 to 7 days.

Arguing with team members after having received a warning will lead to
an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes a
temporary ban will be put in place as above.

Users who feel they have been unfairly warned are welcome to contact
the relevant team leader, e.g. if warned by a moderator you should
contact the Moderator team leader. If they feel you were treated badly
they remove a warning.

Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban will lead to that ban being
made permanent. Circumvention includes re-registering under a non-
banned username, changing IP addresses to evade an IP ban, registering
a new email account of evade an email ban. Circumvention includes
posting as an anonymous user.

An exception to the three strike rule applies when users contact team
members personally (via any method) and post insulting, indecent or
vulgar material. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent
ban.

Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before
implementing them. While we may consider lifting permanent bans
from time to time this is a rare occurrence.
