The following rules list the most serious violations:
No Hacking - This should go without saying, but you are not permitted to hack the board. Guessing someone else's password and succeeding counts as hacking. Members who hack will instantly be permanently banned without any warnings.
No Discrimination - You may not insult members based on their religion, race, sex, political beliefs, or whether they are [happy] or straight, or in some cases that may arise, based on PLATOONS! This is worse than flaming, because it also hurts other members of the board who fall into the category you insult. THIS UNIT AND IT'S FORUM WILL NOT TOLERATE DISCRIMINATION. PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO WARNINGS; AUTOMATIC BAN FOR LIFE.
No Bullying - Do not pick on other members. The worst kind of bullying is where new members are picked on. This hurts the member as well as the board.
No Flaming - Flaming harms the nice atmosphere of the AHS NJROTC Forums. It also causes thread's to go off topic, and most importantly, it hurts the person being flamed. The victim may defend themselves against any accusations made to them, but may not make any additional accusations to the flamer (which also counts as flaming).
No Profanity or Obscene Content - Such content does not belong on these forums (THIS INCLUDES ANY FORM OF PORNOGRAPHY). A censor system is in place as a backup. If you see words in your post being replaced with ****, you have done something wrong. Please edit your post and tone it down before your timer runs out. To edit a post, click the "Edit" button right below it. Cheating the censor system is against the rules.(EXAMPLES OF CHEATING: B!+ch, @$$, or any other way of spelling a word or term!)
If you break one of these rules, the following penalties will apply with the exception of breaking the rule "No Hacking" which immediately results in a permanent ban:
Warning - Depending on how serious a violation is, you may be issued a warning first
Temporary ban - People who cause more problems will be banned for a month, and for 2 months for the next offense.
Permanent ban - At this point, it is obvious that will never learn your lesson, thus, a permanent ban is necessary to be rid of the problems you cause. (EXPECT A MEETING WITH A MEMBER OF CADET STAFF or IF NEED BE, AN NSI or INSTRUCTOR)
The following rules are also important:
No Advertising - You are not permitted to make money using our unit's FORUMS!. You are not allowed to use the member list to obtain Instant Messenger screen names to harass people to purchase a product from you.
No Illegal Activity - You are not allowed to break the law using AHS NJROTC forums. This can get our unit AND yourself into legal trouble. Posting links to Roms is ILLEGAL, so this counts as a violation of this rule. (AUTOMATIC PERMANENT BAN)
No Double Posting or Spamming - You may not post more than once in a row in the same thread. Posting lots of times in a row reduces the quality of the board, is a waste of the board's memory, and provides the culprit with ill earned post count points. Double posts will be merged into regular posts, and you will lose 10 post-count for each of the posts excluding the first one. Your post count can be changed to a negative number if necessary. Spamming is also not allowed, and is defined as a post that has [glow=red,2,300]no meaning.[/glow]
No Topic Bumping - If a topic you created has no replies, you may not post again in it (although you may edit the post if the timer has not run out). If you made the thread because you need help with something, you may post again as long as you include additional information about your problem ("I REALLY want it fixed!" does not count as additional information). You must post this in the same thread, and you are not allowed to create more than one thread per topic.
No Posting Personal Info - You may not post your last name, or your street address on these forums, BUT! You may post a picture of yourself up! (ON THE SCRAPBOOK, LOCATED IN THE GENERAL TOPIC, NOWHERE ELSE!). This is because this information then becomes accessible to anyone.
No Threatening to Leave the Board - You may not make posts threatening to leave the board. This causes flaming to occur. Because of what a problem this is, I cannot issue a warning for violations.
Anyone responding poorly will have 10 posts deducted from their count! NO ONE WORD POSTS! (YEAH! or THAT'S COOL!) MAKE SURE YOUR POST ARE AT LEAST A SENTENCE LONG!
