Thank you for being a part of the growth of the Podcast Alley site and these forums. However, the time has come to add some rules to provide a better place for podcasters and podcast listeners alike.
In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules for the forums here. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact me.
General Rules:- * While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated.
* Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. is not allowed. This includes nudity and excessive profanity.
* Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.
* Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members.
* We also do not allow posts that are sexual in nature or violate community standards. The PodcastAlley.com team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
* Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
* Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
* While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative conversations about competitor's products, we will not tolerate blatant adverts. Also, we would appreciate it if you refrain from blatant bashing of other services.
* We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
* We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules.
* Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
* Avatars are subject to the same conditions as posts with respect decency, and so forth.
These rules were developed from the basic rules set forth in the phpBB and VBulletin Forums.
