Board Rules!
Ok, there aren't many rules, so we expect the few rules we have, to be complied with.
1.You are not allowed multiple accounts. If you have problems logging in/registering, contact Paul via e-mail sturtandadelaidecrowsforever@hotmail.com and he will sort it for you. Do NOT rejoin. Alternatively you can do 'Lost your password'
Also if you wish to change your name, go to your profile, and change the 'screen name' Do NOT rejoin!
2.If you disagree with someone, keep it in a debate form, don’t let it escalate to an all out fight, that affects the rest of funjoint. Also do not bring drama from other forums to FJ.
3.If you have a problem with a member/members, work it out in PM's or outside the boards, so the rest of Funjoint isn't affected. threads considered by the moderators to be abusive etc, will be deleted or locked
4.If you wish to talk privately to a member, use the PM function, instead of many general conversation threads, which excludes the rest of Funjoint, there is however a 'daily chat' thread on the Chat board, general conversation is fine on them, we're a bit leniant however when they happen on other threads.
5. If valid reports/complaints are made against a particular member the member will possibly be banned.
6. You may only report members, if they are being racist/abusive towards yourself or another member. Or if they are posting inappropriate, explicit content. or constantly spamming
however if this is in PM's, the admin will need to see proof of the content We cant allow for material to be posted that will be against the Proboards Terms of service-
CONTENT RESTRICTIONS-
User's web site may not contain content promoting the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content, profanity, hate, "spam," fraud, racism, mlm, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity.
7. Advertising. Mild adverting is permitted. You may add a link in your profile, or post the occasional link, but spamming, and endless plugging, will be removed
members joining for the soul purpose of advertising, WILL be removed Please use the Advertising Board, which is a sub board in the Technology section.This rule also includes in PMs, if someone advertises other sites/forums to you in PMs(especially if they are not exactly regular members of FJ, please let us know.
8. Do not type in text talk. It is annoying.
9. do not do endless pointless posts, for the soul purpose of upping your post count. This pointless spam may be deleted. The Fun & Games board is an easy place to get your post count up, also there is no limit to how much you post or how little you post but we do not allow lurkers here. If you regularly log on but NEVER post or you stop coming here, there is a good chance your account will be deleted without warning.
10. Do not do 'leaving posts', if you decide you have had enough of FJ, just delete yourself, leaving posts will be deleted even if they have had endless amounts of posts from others begging you not to leave, it is very likely you'll be back one day anyhow.
(Banning. This may not be permanent. We value all our members, so for that reason, if you break any of the rules, you will receive a warning. A ban will only happen if it's really necessary. Mods, may lose their mod position if they break any rules (which has happened in the past).
Finally, FJ is an all ages forum, we welcome anyone from 13-113, if you are an adult and have a problem talking to younger people, simple don't talk to them. Likewise if you are a younger member re older people, we do have Ages boards if you just wish to stick to them. If anyone hassles you or is making you feel uncomfortable just report them, We have male and female staff of all ages so you should be good to find someone you feel comfortable talking to. The last thing we want is anyone feeling uncomfortable.
Please don't break these rules, they are here to make Funjoint better for everyone.
