Site Rules: Please Read
1:You must not argue with, pass dissenting comment on or show any disrespect in public upon any action or post made by any of the Administrators or Mods. Should you find anything you wish to address please use the PM system to raise the issue with another Mod Admin or the owner.
2: You will at all times refrain from harassing and/or personally attacking other users in these Forum. You have your path and they are entitled to theirs.
3: You will respect the rights of other users to have their own opinions. You don’t need to agree to be able to listen and hear another view.
4: When expressing your opinions you must attempt to be civil and non provocative in your terminology.
5: Do not use expressions that are foul, vulgar, sexually harassing/explicit, racially offensive or in any way discriminatory. Hate has no place here. Paganwaysuk staff will decide on material that is “Borderline” and their decision is final.
6:You will not make posts that are intentionally inflammatory or provocative with the evident intent to rile people up (i.e. "trolling" and "flaming") and you may not flood or post on the forums, redundant, empty, or nonsensical posts (i.e. no "spamming").
7:You will need to post a descriptive subject titles when posting new threads and all posters need only post messages that are within the particular forum/Thread’s scope or topic.
8: You will not hijack threads for your own purpose but, rather, will begin a new thread with the new subject. A certain amount of digression is acceptable but there needs to be a line drawn somewhere.
9: You will not link to images on other websites unless you have permission to do so. This is called "hot linking" and is stealing the bandwidth of the server you link from, and we doubt it is appreciated.
10: You will not post messages that offer or discuss pirated goods or link to sites that do so.
11:You will not post pornographic or violent material or images of a type unsuitable for a family/office environment or post links to such material or images. Any such posts will immediatley be removed and you will receive a warning via PM.
12: The promotion of crime or criminal acts is unacceptable.
13: You must refrain from participating or starting any debate that discusses the distribution/growing/cutting/manufacture/use of drugs other than given out by the doctor or Hospital Unless in a historical sense.
14: Usernames need to be non offensive as determined by the Admin Team
15: Avatars will not be of an unacceptable nature and will not be too large. Max size is 150 x 150 pixels. The Admin Team will warn you by PM if there is a problem with your Avatar.
16: Bugs or loopholes in the Board security are not to be exploited or advertised and re registering to avoid bans is a waste of time. In addition we ask that if more than one user wishes to use the same IP address please inform an Admin.
17: Impersonation of another member or a member of staff is unacceptable behaviour.
18: Any signature seen as being overly long or of an offensive/inflammatory nature etc is liable to be removed without notice.
19: staff have the final say over what is deemed offensive.
20: Please do NOT put a full text in capitals as this is SHOUTING! and will be seen as provocation.
21: You will normally receive 3 warnings via PM for any violation of these rules before we result in a banning. However, if a violation is deemed as being particulalry serious we retain the right to ban a member immediately without prior warning.
**These rules are subject to change as and when the Admin/Mod team feel it necessary**
