As we grow as a community, we need a common understanding of how we can all work together to build vibrant forums. For that reason we have a few simple rules to keep things running smoothly.
1) No commercial solicitation allowed. We don’t want the forums filled with spam.
2) No harsh, foul, demeaning or overly critical language is allowed.
3) Be excellent to one another! A community is about friendship, openness and helping each other out.
THINGS THAT COULD RESULT IN YOUR POSTS BEING REMOVED
– A violation of any of the above rules.
– Off topic posting. (Make sure you choose the right forum.)
THINGS THAT COULD RESULT IN YOU BEING BANNED FROM THE FORUMS
– Attacking, abusive or profane language. We love freedom of speech as much as the next guy, but being in the Geek Beat Community is like being invited to a friends party. If you are unruly and upsetting other guests you’ll be asked to leave.
– Disrupting the normal course of conversations in the community. For example, post frequency designed to hyjack a thread. Frequent off topic posts.
– Repeated commercial solicitation.
– Generally trying to make the Community serve a selfish purpose.
These rules will change and grow with the Community. If you have suggested additions or modifications please leave a comment below.
We want to keep things as simple as possible, but also make sure we’re able to institute a little order.
