1.Forum rules

  • Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. 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).
  • 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.
  • 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 a member of the Moderator Team. Please use the “post report” feature to report posts. Do not respond to such topics yourself. Members who constantly “act” as moderators may be warned.
  • 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.
  • Members are asked only to post in English, as this is an English speaking community.
  • 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.
  • Members should use an appropriate, descriptive subject when posting a new topic. Examples of bad subjects include; "Help me!", "I'm stuck!", "I've got an error!", etc. Examples of good subjects include; "Getting an TABLE FULL error upon login", "Cannot restore a backup", etc.
  • Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes offering hosting services (charged and free), installation services, solicitation etc. Recruiting members for your own projects (moderators, designers, professional MOD work, etc.) is not permitted and is also considered spam. Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed.
  • The moderating, support and other teams reserve the right to edit, remove or put on moderation queue 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.
  • The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of private messaging.


2.Signatures
  • Signatures may contain up to five lines of text (of small or normal size) and/or one image, valid combinations include; 200px high, 500px wide in size.
  • Links in signatures are permitted to pages or sites. You may not link to porn, racist or other similar hate sites. Links are included in signature size limits.
  • Users abusing these rules will be warned.


3.Avatars
  • Users are permitted to utilise a gallery avatar or to link to one of their own. User defined avatars are to be no larger than 200 pixels square, 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).
  • 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.


4.Show Off
  • Proxy Network does not provide a general forum or other solution for users to promote or show off their sites. Users may not promote or show off their sites through their own posts. Such posting constitutes spam and may lead to a warning.



5.Policing
  • Proxy Network operates on a warning system. Users will be warned a maximum for any and all offences. If a user exceeds the warning limit a temporary ban will be put in place of between 1 to 7 days.
  • Arguing with staff members after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed the warning system ban will be put in place as above.
  • Users who feel they have been unfairly warned are welcome to contact the head staff, e.g. if warned by a moderator you should contact Administrators. If they feel you were treated badly they remove a warning.
  • Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban or other moderator action will lead to a permanent ban of your account(s). Circumvention includes re-registering or using an already registered account under a non-banned username. Other examples include changing IP addresses, using a new email account or other action that can be taken to evade moderator action to hide your identity as the owner of the sanctioned account.
  • An exception to the warning system applies when users contact staff 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 Proxy Network may consider lifting permanent bans from time to time this is a rare occurrence.
