excessive swearing, racism, homophobia, images of an adult nature and porn links.
3. Posts

-encouraging crime
-encouraging suicide
-carrying on an *Closed thread* argument in a new thread
4.World Forum

1. Warnings/bans will be documented with an PM or email sent to the offender
2. A single moderator can impose a 24-hour ban on the spot (for Red typed offences listed)
3. If a banned member returns under another name, another ban period will be imposed.
4. Three stikes and you are out rule is in place, after three warnings are given for lesser offences, the next warning will result in a one weeks ban.
5. 1 week bans requires agreement between 3 moderators after the documentation is examined.
6. A permanent ban requires unanimous agreement by all moderators. (Red typed offences listed can lead to permanent ban)
Note*
All moderators' decisions are final, and arguing over decisions will get you into further trouble.
On the spot bans and warnings (leading to permanent bans) will be issued where necessary and these are final.
If you have a problem with a moderator on the board, or a moderating decision, PM moderators and they will independantly
look into your complaint. Please provide a screenshot if there is abuse.
