I. BEHAVIOR
A. Respect the opinions of others. There will be disagreements, but at least respect what they have to say.
1. No flaming or personal attacks.
B. You may debate the opinions of others, but don't personally degrade the person making the arguments.
C. Try to control yourself as best as you can in all topics. To sound credible, take a mature and fact-based approach to arguments.
II. LANGUAGE
A. Refrain from using swear words or cursing.
B. If something is posted that you find offensive, please quietly report the user by pressing the 'report to mod' link at the bottom right of the offending post. Please do not tell the other person that you have reported them because that may cause more harm than good.
III. IMAGES/ATTACHMENTS/LINKS
A. Don't post any photos or links of pornographic or nude content.
B. If linking to anything that some members may find offensive, we suggest that you post a warning before the link.
C. Do not advertise any website unless in your signature or profile, or if you get permission from an admin. The only exception when you do not need an administrators approval is when you are citing a source for a claim that you have made or you are citing a current event.
D. Unless in your own blog or in a specified thread for images, no images, whether in posts or signatures, should stretch the screen, exceeding 600 pixels wide. If it does, the image will be linked to or removed by a staff member.
IV. REPORTING A USER
A. If at any time you feel a member does something to violate the rules above, you may report them. There is a "report to mod" link at the bottom right of each post.
V. SUGGESTING RULES
