While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable.

General Posting Parameters

You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, violent, gruesome, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, racist, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed).

Use common sense. Don't intentionally irritate people, don't retaliate and if you have a gut feeling that you should not be saying something, don't. "He started it" and "I didn't know that was a rule" will not get your warning level reduced.

Personal Attacks

Personal attacks of ANY kind are prohibited. Personal attacks do not have to include swear words, they just have to be an attack on a person rather than their idea. Posters that only serve to incite others and serve no other purpose but to inflame tensions may be banned. Simply having a dissenting opinion on an issue, as long as that opinion is expressed in a tactful manner, is not a warnable offense. Phrases that intend to attack a member while doing it by attacking another person may also result in a warning (e.g. "your mom").

If you or any forum user is personally attacked, report it to a moderator via the Contact Moderator feature within the forum. You agree not to reply to an attack with another attack. If you do not agree with the comments or opinions of a user, attacking that user will result in a warning or ban depending of the severity of the attack.

Do not respond to trolls. This only motivates them to post again. If an issue gets out of hand and you are a participant, you may be warned or banned as a result.

Picture Policy

Please do not post pictures edited pictures of people without their permission. Posting edited pictures falls under the personal attack category and will be warned accordingly. If the person gives the permission, though, then posting edited pics is okay as long as they are not pornographic or gruesome.

You may not post any pornographic pictures. "Maxim style" pictures are acceptable.

Offensive Language

You agree not to use offensive language. This can include swear or curse words. The board does have swear filter and this should catch most offenses. Any attempt to bypass the forum's swear filter will result in a warning. Excessive swearing, or posting pictures with un-edited swear words can result in a warning. Moreover, telling a poster to "STFU" is also a warnable offense.

Posting

Spamming of the forum is strictly prohibited. Each site defines spamming a little differently. At 49erswebzone.com spam includes, but is not limited to; posting multiple threads on the same topic, repeated unsolicited advertisements, posting threads or posts that are not topical and only serve to clutter the board. Flooding the forum is prohibited and may result in you being immediately and permanently banned. This includes, but is not limited to; a blatant shift in topic, repeating the same post over and over or repeating the same thread over and over.

The posting of misleading topics that present false or misleading information is strictly prohibited and will result in a warning. The posting of a true topic that is meant to lead the users of the forum to believe something else falls into the category.

During games and other important events, there will be an official thread where users who do not feel like entering the chat can still post. The thread is for all topics related to the event for which the thread exists. Please do not start new threads that are just comments as they will be deleted and the user warned. Analysis, though, can be in it's own thread.

Each forum has a specific topic of discussion set by the site administrator. Posting outside of this topic is prohibited. If you are not sure where you should post a specific topic, contact a moderator for assistance.

Pay-Site Material

Posting of copyrighted material such as, but not limited to, complete articles from commercial pay sites or personal sites is strictly prohibited. Instead, you must link to or summarize the articles. We have the right to delete any posts that contain such copyrighted material.

Warning System

Moderators have the right to issue warnings or ban users as they see fit. There are general guidelines for warnings but warning is ultimately at the discretion of the warning Moderator. Once a user reached 100% they are banned from using the forum.

Warning levels automatically reduce 5% every 30 days as long as the poster is not warned again.

If you want to report a post that you feel may violate any existing rules, include the URL or a link to the post in question and either email it to a Mod, or send a Private Message (PM). This recourse is available to anyone, any time.

Do not post complaints on the forum itself. If you want to report a post that you feel may violate any existing rules, include the URL or a link to the post in question. If the moderators cannot locate a post, then they cannot do anything about them.

Private Information

The IP addresses of all posts are recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the administrators and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close ANY topic at any time should they see fit. As a user, you agree to allow any information you have entered to be stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent, administrators and moderators cannot be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.

This forum system uses cookies to store information on your local computer. They serve only to improve your viewing pleasure. You agree to remember the username and password (case sensitive) you create. Administrators and Moderators will not be responsible for your lost or forgotten information.

Legal Stuff

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) is intended to protect the privacy of children using the Internet. As of April 21, 2000, many Web sites are required to obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13. If you agree to these terms, you state that you are over the age of 13. We do not allow children under 13 to register so we do not have parental forms available.

Account Deletion

We have the right to remove any users who have not been active on the board after certain amount of time. This time frame can change at any point without notice.

By signing up as a member, you forfeit your right to take any legal action against this site or those involved in the running of this site.

These terms and conditions can change at any time and all users are bound by the rules of this forum.

By registering and/or posting on this forum, you agree to be bound by these conditions.
