Forum Rules...

[Bobby]

General Rules

• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
• Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or the such.
• Please do not make posts in all capital font.
• Do not use font size greater than size 4. Posts with Font sizes greater than 4 will be removed
  
• Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
• Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum, email, visitor messages, blog comments, picture comments and private message systems to spam other members.
• We also do not allow posts or links to sites that are sexual in nature or violate GOI standards. The GOI team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate our standards.
• Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
• Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
• While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative conversations about competitor's sites, we will not tolerate blatant adverts or the sort of 'ooh look, yet another bulletin board' threads. Also, we would appreciate it if you refrain from blatant bashing of other boards.
• We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
• If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English Translation of your post.
• Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
• You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral. Such posts will be subject to removal.
• We also reserve the right to ban anyone who wilfully violates the forum rules.

Advertising Services and Solicitation


We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products, services, funds or donations outside of the Professional Services Forum. Failure to place these type threads in the proper forum will be removed without notice. This includes posts made that references other sites via links. A member will not post a link to another forum to guide members and guests away from this forum in order to advertise his/her item or service(s)

A member may, however update their thread in the Professional Services forum at any time so long as the thread meets the guidelines.

Links in signatures must follow these guidelines

• Linking to a commercial product/service is fine, provided it is not offensive in nature and does not exceed Size 2 font.
• A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site is not sexual or does not violate GOI standards. The GOI team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about drugs and/or sex.)
• Duplicate links to the same URL in a signature are not allowed.

Signature Size Limits

All signatures should not exceed the following size limits, and you can't have both text and images

• For text signatures: 4 lines normal size, 8 lines small size and up to 90 chars per line. Font sizes above 2 are not allowed. (Blank lines count as lines.)
• Do not use images with large text to bypass the previous item
• Animated images in a signature are not allowed

Moderation

Although the administrators and moderators of GOI will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of GOI will be held responsible for the content of any message.

By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The owners of Georgia Outdoors reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
