Verify Suppliers

[admin]

These are the general rules for all the Verify Suppliers forums. We collect them from various other forums we found interesting, and adapted to our needs, and created some specific ones.

If you find we need some more rules (we hope those are enough), please PM the administrator

GENERAL RULES

• If you receive a private message, do not repeat it on the open forums without the permission of the person who sent it to you.
• Please respect your fellow poster. Do not use bad language unless absolutely necessary, but moderators might think differently and might warn or ban you.
• Please do not start threads about closed or deleted threads. If you have a problem with any of the moderators' decisions, send a PM to the moderator in question or the moderator of the forum it happened.
• Don't abuse your signatures. Especially signatures with very large images in them make a thread very difficult to read.
• If you see something offensive posted on any of the forums, click the 'report this post to a moderator' link at the bottom right of the post. Please don't abuse this feature though. Only report offensive posts and don't use it to drag the moderator into any personal dispute you may have. Those should be fought out over PM or e-mail anyway.
• If you have any comments or questions regarding then feel free to PM the moderator of the specific forum, or any other moderator if the moderator you seek is not available. Try to avoid sending general enquiry PM's directly to Shiver as he is already a very busy man.
• The moderators can create additional rules and guidelines for their specific forum. These apply in addition to all these rules and guidelines so keep an eye on stickies and announcements in the various forums.
• Please do not abuse the 'quote' function when replying to posts unless it is necessary to clarify the point being made. When answering a post that is directly above your post, there is generally no reason to quote the previous post unless it is to include a specific clip. Where a 'quote' is required to accentuate or clarify something regarding your response, please edit out all that is not required. This will keep the thread clean to read and save on disk space.


What is absolutely not allowed

• Racist remarks or links to racists sites or material are expressly forbidden. We will delete any remarks we consider racists, and we make absolutely no apologies for doing so. This board is located and run from Europe where racism is illegal, and it is our duty to make sure this board is clear of such stuff. The people running this board could face possible prosecution for allowing it. Even if it was legal, we still wouldn't allow it.
• Nacionalist or anti-nacionalist remarks are also forbidden. No such expressions as “all X are thiefs, scammers, etc.” or “stay away from X” being X any nation, state or zone, unless you can demonstrate ALL of them are thiefs or scammers or whatever you accuse them of.
• Pornographic images of any kind are not allowed.
• Other shocking graphic material, such as pictures of mutilation, death or other offensive non-sexual images are completely forbidden. Again, if your posts features anything way over the top will be deleted.
• Do not post links to warez or piracy. Like many of the above items, they are illegal. We would like this board to stay open.
• Duplicate accounts are not allowed. If you want to post something that you don't want to post with your main posting name on it, don't post it at all. Duplicate accounts will be banned without notice upon discovery and the main account will be given a warning.



What happens when you get out of line?

It depends on the kind of violation you have committed. If it's the odd abusive post then we will edit or delete it. When one of your posts is deleted you generally will be informed of it, unless it's something small like a double post or if it's a very obvious violation of the forum rules. Persistent or grave offenders can be given the tag of 'WARNED' by the admin or any of the moderators. This tag, when given to you, serves as a final warning. Either improve your posting behaviour or face the consequences. The consequence can be to ban you from this board or to suspend your account. WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO DO THIS.

When you are given such a tag, the moderator who tagged you will leave a message in the thread or send you a Private Message explaining why you were tagged. Do not start new threads demanding explanations or removal of the tag. The tag will be removed after showing improved posting behaviour for some time. How long that time is depends on your posting behaviour and on the severity of the offence you were given the tag for. If you feel your tag is undeserved, PM the moderator in question.

We can also opt to suspend your account. When you are suspended you can still access the boards as usual but your posting privileges are revoked. You can still send PM's though to work things out with a moderator.

If you continue to break the rules, even after having recieved a final warning, we will have little choice but to ban you. If you posted anything highly illegal, we may even opt to report you to your ISP.

Also, last but not least, spam is not allowed.

Posts with content unrelated to the subject of this forum like "hi all: this is my website, it's so cool, i just wanted a new external link" will be deleted as soon as discovered and user deleted too.

We want the forum to be easy and comfortable to read, so zero tolerance for spam
