You are such a f@#king asshole. I can't stand your posts. Ugh.
Rules Violated:
1. Profanity: You are allowed to express yourself using profanities and swear words. However, the moderators will be forced to step in and take action if
(a) The members are engaging in excessive swearing/profanities that serve little to no purpose (the measure of this is left to the member's and moderator's discretion)
(b) are targeted towards other members of the forum. A personal attack of any kind does not require the use of profanities and insults. Saying ‘You’re an asshole†does not advance any argument and serves to only spite another forum user.
9. Personal Attacks: Flame wars are a part of forums. The moderators and administrators will keep a check on any disagreements taking place between certain members here. The moderators will encourage ways to sort out the problems. As long as the discussion pertains to the subject at hand, the discussion is fine.
If a moderator notices that a purely healthy discussion is turning into attacks on a person’s character or issues that are in no way relevant to the topic at hand, the moderators will step in and warn users from engaging in this type of behavior. Bottom line: Do not attack a person’s character, looks, and/or social life if it has no connection at all to the topic at hand.
10. Exceptional cases: Sometimes, members develop problems with each other, turning into long term grudges. If moderators and administrators notice these grudges effecting the otherwise healthy discussions in threads, they will step in and take action.
We will not tolerate attacks between these members for no relevant reason. If you do not like one member here, do not purposely start a fight with them. If you have a legitimate reason to answer their post especially with some negativity, keep it related to the topic and make it so it is not confrontational. If you’re attacked for no reason whatsoever by a member you have issues with, contact a moderator or an administrator, don't reply back and start a fight and destroy a completely nice thread.
This is an official warning, with two or more the moderators and administrators of this forum will begin a discussion on a possible banning, that banning could be 7 days, permanant, or a abnormal ammount of days that were deemed appropriate for your specific case.
