Inappropriate Account Names
User account names on the Respect forums may not contain any usage of profanity, racial/ethnic slurs, flame attempts, sexual innuendo, or anything else that may be considered inappropriate for a gaming bulletin board. Anonymous names deemed inappropriate by forum administrators or abbreviations of any of the above may also lead to administrative action.
All names that fall under this category will be purged/banned upon discovery. Any posts made by the account may also be purged without prior warning. Depending on the severity of the account name, a user ban may also be implemented.
Custom Avatars
Avatars may also not contain any types of pornographic images, hate propoganda, pictural violations of other Respect forum rules, or anything else that may be considering inappropriate for a gaming bulletin board.
User titles also follow the same standard Respect forum conduct rules that are listed in the rules section. Profanity, flaming, racial/ethnic slurs will not be tolerated. Use common sense when using either of these privileges, because they can be taken away without prior notice.
Inappropriate avatars/titles will be purged/changed upon discovery. Depending on the severity of the avatars'/titles' content, a user ban may also be implemented.
Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks are to be of an appropriate nature when posted. Pornography, warez, hate sites, or others that are deemed inappropriate by Respect administrators or moderators are not permitted. Be cautious when posting hyperlinks, and always be sure you know the content of the site you are linking to.
Profanity/Vugarity
Excessive profanity and/or vulgarity is not permitted on any of the Respect forums
Racial/Ethnic Slurs
Comments of this manner will not be tolerated anywhere on the forums. Please refrain from using them, as well as any "slang" that may also fall under this category.
Flaming
The flaming or insulting of others will not be tolerated, unless it is done in "good fun." Many like to joke around, and, in that case is acceptable. This judgement will be made by the forum administrators or moderators.
Forum Spam!
For those who are unaware, "spam" is a forum thread/post that has no relevance to the topic at hand, and usually is posted in an attempt to raise post count, insult a topic starter or previous poster, or contribute meaningless information to the thread for whatever reason. Posts of this nature should be placed in the Off Topic forum only. Please keep in mind, while spam may be permitted in that forum, a user is still bound by the remainder of the forum rules.
Infrequent violations of these rules will result in thread closure, post edit, thread move, or post/thread deletion. Repeat violations of this rule will result in post count subtraction or ban from the message board.
