General Forum Guidelines
Posts should be made in the relevant forum. Please read the forum descriptions before posting. Admin will move threads to the correct forum when necessary.
Members should realize this board is open to a general audience. Members must not post any message to the discussion forums which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, containing pornography, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violate of any law.
Members linking to or asking for information on the posting of specific information relating to how and where to obtain controlled substances or illegal activities is a violation of the board guidelines. This most directly relates to issues such as illegal file sharing and illicit drug use. Posts will be removed and sanctions may be imposed.
Members who post for the sole reason of being disruptive (as determined by the Admin) may be subject to an immediate ban.
If a Admin edits a post by a poster and that poster edits back over the admins words, this will result in banning of that poster. If you feel that the admin has abused his or her power do not take matters into your own hands. Contact one of our other administrators as an arbitrator.
Duplicate accounts are not permitted. Any member creating duplicate accounts will face sanctions such as a ban.
Signatures
Links to competing sites in text or image sigs are not permitted and will be removed by the moderators.
Members must not use the discussion forums as a vehicle to promote or advertise the products or services of any business that they are directly or indirectly associated with unless said member is currenty an advertiser at the site. Any such post will be deleted and the posting party’s membership may be revoked. Spam will be immediately deleted from the discussion. This rule applies everywhere within the YBF, including the private message system.
