Code of Conduct

The Golden Rule

"Post unto others, as you would have them post unto you"... In other words, think about what you are saying in the forum before hitting the Enter Key.
Be respectful of your fellow members!


Code of Conduct

Flaming or harassing or threatening another member is not allowed nor will it be tolerated.
Profanity is not permitted, everybody slips once in a while... The occasional "hell", "damn", "ass" etc... are fine, just not every other word of each post.
Spamming and cross forum posting are not allowed.
Posting of links to Pornographic sites is not permitted. Posting of pornographic or overtly sexual images is not acceptable.
Arguing your point with a moderator or refusing to do, or stop doing something a Moderator has asked you about, will not be tolerated. If you have an issue with a Moderator, arguing with him or her on the forum is not a smart move.

Screen names, avatars, links of an offensive or suggestive nature will not be tolerated and may be
removed at Administrators discretion.

Posting of personal information (i.e., phone numbers, addresses, employment) within topics is not allowed.


BREAKING THE RULES

Any Violations of the Code will result in the punitive actions described below.
In order to keep things simple we use a "Three Strikes System" for enforcing the rules.
Strike One is a verbal (posted) and email warning from an Administrator or Moderator, which may direct you to make amends or apologize for your actions to another member or at the very least clean up your own mess.
Strike Two is the suspension of posting privileges for a minimum of two weeks, but may be longer, depending on the nature of the problem. You will be notified by email of the suspension.
Reinstatement is not automatic. In order to have your privileges re-instated at the end of the suspension period. YOU will need to request reinstatement of your posting privileges in an email to the Moderator of the forum that the incident occurred on and the Administrators.
Strike Three is a suspension of "all" privileges and may include banning from the GHOSTLYHAKS.COM community.

This is irrevocable.
