Forum Rules

The Anything and Everything forum has been the topic of many complaints recently, and as such we are going to clean the place up. Conduct yourself appropriately or suffer the consequences.

1) Language - No bad language will be tolerated in topic titles. Bad language is tolerated (but not encouraged) in the forum in general. Dawgbones is a sports bar atmosphere. If you wouldn't say it at a bar, don't say it here.

2) Stay on topic! If you would like to talk about something other than the topic at hand, start a new thread.

3) Trolling, spamming, etc are not tolerated.

4) No personal attacks. Don't debate the person, debate their ideas. For example don't call someone stupid; just tell them that their post was stupid and explain why you think they're wrong. Smart people sometimes make stupid posts.

5) Keeping with the bar room atmosphere, don't say anything that would get you kicked out of a bar because it will get you kicked out of Dawgbones. Examples are racism, talking about another member's family, religion, etc.

6) Anything else that negatively affects the board will be handled at the discretion of the moderators.


Penalties for breaking the rules include warnings, temporary bans, permanent bans, and the much hated "Moderator Preview" (where any post you make must be approved by a moderator before it is displayed).
