By registering and participating here you agree to respect and abide by the following standards:

1. You agree not to be a jerk.

The following are some guidelines on the behavior required to comply with this rule. This is not an exhaustive set of rules and it is left to the discretion of Moderators and Administrators to decide what is and is not acceptable behavior.

Do not post material that is knowingly defamatory, abusive, threatening, harassing, or generally viewed by a reasonable person as being a derogatory epithet.

Comments about other users, insults and flames are not acceptable.

The discussion forum tries to be an intellectually-stimulating environment in which users exchange ideas in the spirit of discovery. Poisoning that environment with acrimony is highly discouraged. Please exercise tact and refrain from insulting others or disrupting ongoing discussions with inflammatory speech.

Hyperbolic or overly-emotive language and imagery, such as saying "Left-handers are morons", is generally discouraged.

Off-topic posting or hijacking of threads is inappropriate.

Calling a fellow poster "delusional" or a similarly inflammatory accusation is not acceptable even if you believe that the accusation is true.

In general, any material that is deliberately goading should not be posted.

Members will refrain from retaliating to inflammatory material with further insults or inappropriate comments.

If you encounter a post that you believe contravenes the rules of the board then you are encouraged to alert a forum moderator.

Administrators do not monitor Private Messages (PMs). However, you agree not to use the Private Message system to circumvent the forum rules regarding insults, threats or harassment. Should such abuse come to the attention of the Administrators, the Administrators will treat PMs as if they were open posts, and sent to your momma.

You will not violate a person's privacy by publishing information that could be considered private and personal without first having obtained that person's permission.

You are legally responsible for what you write. By participating in a discussion, you undertake to indemnify us against any liability arising from any breach of confidentiality, copyright or other intellectual property right published by you on this site and against all damages, losses, claims and costs (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in conducting or defending any proceedings) arising from any such publication. You must not make statements that are libellous, obscene, seek to incite racial hatred or otherwise break laws.

Pruning: Many threads will be pruned to only the most meaningful posts. Chit-chat will eventually be pruned, along with old news items, discussion of old news items, comments and threads that are redundant with either other threads, the FAQs, or articles posted on the web site. The primary reason for this is the readability of the forum. Since the pruning may be done by different people, please don't ask us to explain why something was pruned.
