To All Using This Forum:


What follows is our revised guidelines for this web forum and discussion board. Please read carefully.

1/ Duplicate Accounts

You are permitted to have ONE user account on this board only. Those who create multiple accounts will have BOTH accounts removed. If your account does not work contact a moderator. We will remove your account and you can set up a new one.

We will not tolerate anyone posting replies to their own messages using two or more accounts. Anyone caught violating this rule will have their IP address banned.

2/ Ban/User Evasion

Don't try to evade a ban or create a new account if yours gets banned. If you get removed and feel it was unwarranted, contact one of the moderators.

3/ Content

Try to keep your posts within the boards' topic. If you are having technical difficulties, or have a complaint, take it to the complaint thread. We reserve the right to move posts around to appropriate threads. If someone starts a new board or thread and requests their own guidelines, please respect those guidelines.

4/ Spam/Harassment

Please do not contact people you have not already communicated with or have an understanding relationship with by direct email. You are free to send someone a private message via his or her board email box if you have an existing communication relationship with them or have a sincere question, you wish to express off the board.

5/ Trolling

Trolling is only posting in order to cause trouble. We will not tolerate trolling. Go play somewhere else.

6/ Consideration of the other person’s point of view.

We will seldom delete a post on this board. The very nature of the topic of Paranormal Investigations is inclined to create a difference of opinion. We accept these differences of opinion and your right to express them. Nobody will be banned because his or her views are not in sync with our own. We leave that tactic to other forums. Posts are instantaneously added. No pre-viewing and decision making is involved prior to a post. All moderating takes place after a post is made.

7 / Links to other sites.

We do not block web addresses in posts even those that oppose our views on this board unless they are illegal or immoral sites.

8/ Property of posts

All responsibility for posts lie with the poster. They are your words, choose them carefully as any damages that may ensue are your responsibility.

9/ Images

When posting images, please do not direct link to any images on servers not owned or under your control. This constitutes bandwidth theft and is a violation of the terms of service of Invision Board and this web discussion board.

If you are a registered member of the Legenda Aurea Paranormal Discussion Forum and you have an image you wish to use as an icon, I will be pleased to host the image for you and allow you to direct link to it.

Let us not steal other's bandwidth please.

10/ Policy regarding abusive posters

We ask that you respect each other. If you are in disagreement, it is fine to disagree, but if such disagreement will disrupt the harmony of the board, please agree to disagree. Failure to do so will see the removal of you from this forum. This applies to moderators as well as general posters.

Thank you for your attention to these rules.

11/ Flaming

Flaming is continuous attacking of another member, be it with or without provocation. This usually involves posts with no valuable content but heavily consisting of empty arguing, bickering and flinging offenses at each other.

Such behavior is unacceptable on our forum as it serves no purpose but upsetting members and polluting the boards. We will treat it accordingly.

12/ Flooding

Generally, flooding is off-topic ranting spread upon several posts by one or more member in the middle of a discussion. It distracts and prolongs the topic, while serving no purpose, and thus unwanted. Another form of flooding is a large set of posts which carry no informative weight. Usually they consist of short sentences and/or monosyllable words, which do not advance the discussion anywhere. Example:
"I so agree with the above" "Me, too" "Do you?" "I think so" "Yay! Me, too" "I know" "Isn't it cool?" "Totally!" etc. etc. ad nauseum…

We will not be harsh with this (ahm… except for things like the example above, obviously), since topics do tend to diverge and spin to other levels, but do try to stick to the subject and advance the discussion in each post – even if you have little to add. Example: "I agree. *nod* And I would like to add…" or "I don't know about this, but I think/know…"

13/ Offensive content

We have members from many paths of life (and planning to have even more), so try to be considerate of other's feelings when you post. If you think what you want to say may offend someone, then either warn at the beginning of the post, and let the moderator decide later, or paraphrase it. This will be treated on case-by-case basis.

Outright, purposeful offensive content will be treated as an act of violence against the forum – and will be treated accordingly.
