Spamming the forums on why your post we didn't feel was appropriate got deleted will only annoy us and get you banned.
Things subject to removal and member banning:
-Posting in the incorrect section. Don't start a thread in the SOA section unless it's a review, religious and political posts and items need to stay in off topic and only in off topic if they have any chance of causing problems in other sections.
-Illegal activities. In most cases there isn't even a need for discussion of illegal activities in any way on the forums.
-Flaming, trolling, or all around negative attitude. You don't need to show off your internet fighting abilities on our forums. It's very easy to debate and discuss opinions, theories, and comparisons in a respectible way without personal attacks and we expect it of our members. Yes, excessive or inappropriate swearing is included here. If you feel the need to rant, do so in the rant board.
-Any questionable promoting of a company or site. If it looks like a plug for all the wrong reasons it doesn't belong.
We will take most things case by case, but will be very tough to ensure the content on the site remains fair, of high quality, welcoming, and with no hidden biased agenda
Each section follows the same guidelines in direction of its moderators who, with the community create their own atmosphere which can vary from section to section. If you're having a problem in a particular section, you should contact the moderator(s) of that section. They are volunteers and enthusiasts so respect them for their position and the work they put into these forums.
You will find members who identify themselves as Studio Authors. They are here to help answer questions about their works, and to answer studio question. They will often help with a question someone is having with or just participate in discussions. Do NOT abuse them. They are not obligated to help you here. Treat them with respect for the time they're putting into helping the community. We will verify all members who claim to represent a company or other service, not affiliated.
Below you will see a couple of commonly asked questions:
Hey, where'd that thread go?
-If the thread was not related to the section it was posted under it was either moved to the correct section or deleted. Our suggestion is threads be posted in the correct section in the first place to avoid this. This makes it much easier for people searching the forums for info to find it easy and also keeps the forums from being cluttered.
-If the thread had any deceitful self promotion or bashing of a competitor from a reseller acting as a regular member, we remove it and the member doing it. It could be the one who started the thread or a reply in the thread. If the thread even looks like it's self promotion, has the potential to turn into self promotion, or here to plug/bash a company we may remove it. We do not want to open the doors for resellers to use the members like a meat market. This is not a reseller review site since we have no means to validate all the praises and complaints from the companies mentioned if they are really customers.
-If the thread had any potential for flaming, pricewars, closet company scam, or just plain ugliness we will close or remove it.
Also keep your FREE IPOD! crap off of here, doesn't matter if it's legal or not, it's based around email spamming and when we have 20 members posting trying to get people to sign up, it becomes forum spamming. Your forum membership will be removed.
Besides that, some threads vanish by choice of who posted it. You have the option to delete your own threads on the forums.
Hey, why is that name blocked?
-If we have caught a reseller, company, or website self promoting through deceit and pretending to be a member praising themselves, or just plain spamming the forums throwing sales pitches through posts and/or PMs we sometimes block their name from even being mentioned. This is to stop the spam and keep that kind of greed from the forums. We haven't blocked all of the ones we've caught doing this, only the most extreme ones. If someone makes a post regarding one of these dirt bags we've caught doing this and the name isn't blocked, we might remove the name or post even if there's a hint of it looking like a plug to generate interest instead of speak of an experience.
While we would love to post a list of all the companies that have done this or we're investigating doing this we don't for two reasons, 1) We don't want to promote them since some feel negative publicity is better than none. 2) We try and give second chances when we feel they just made a poor decision trying to pull such a stunt.
You will see us from time to time calling someone out and changing the subject of their post to include "(FRAUD POST!)" in the subject. So, do a subject seach of the forums for fraud post and you'll see some of them
Hey, you dirt bags trying to promote here pretending to not have ties to the company you're plugging:
If you think we're not on to you, keep smoking that stuff and we'll call you out. We WILL get warrants to force ISPs and proxy servers to release info they don't want to tell us by request. We can and do catch people with ties plugging a company. You better watch those phone calls and shred all paperwork cause you will be caught! We go so far most would tell us to get a life and let it go already, but NO, there will be JUSTICE!
