Forum Rules
In order to have a safe, fun, knowledgeable forum, we have to set rules! The following are general rules, and are subject to change by admin at any time. "Sulcata Crazy!" will be referred to as "SC!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * No Spam: Spam is considered any posts that contain links to other web sites, being competing forums, non Tort. sights, and yes, porn. We do our best at SC! to keep on top of this, if you find a link, please use the "report" tab, and staff will remove it. No links to other forums will be allowed without prior approval from admin, otherwise it will be considered spam. * No bad words: SC! does have a word filter, but it doesn’t filter words that are posted with other letters added etc. This forum is open to children, so any members posting unacceptable language will either be given a warning, be given a temporary ban, or completely banned. This will be decided by admin and the moderators. Please keep the forum Child Friendly! * No Bashing: Making fun of a member for any reason will not be tolerated. * Be respectful: Heated discussions do happen on forums, so please, re-read your post before you hit the "add reply" button! You might want to walk away for a few minutes and then come back and re-read your post. Can it be taken the wrong way and be offensive to other members? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * General posting rules: No "net speak". We have members from all around the world, and of all ages. Posts are much easier to read without it. So no "lyke" instead of "like" and no "cuz" instead of "because". The most SC! will tolerate will be LOL, TKS or TY, that’s about it though. Do not post in all CAPS! And no excessive punctuation marks !!!!!!!!!! It can be annoying. Do not post large pictures. Maximum picture size is 640x480. Over sized pictures will be changed to links. SC! Photobucket account. This account is for members that do not have a photobucket account. We recommend that members sign up for their own accounts, it’s a free service. All non Tort. pics WILL be deleted. New thread titles. Be specific with your new threads... Dont just name it "sick?", try "My tort isnt eating, please advise" for example. Off Topic. Please keep the threads on topic, if they start to go way off topic, a reminder will be given, and finally will be closed. We have an "off topic/chit chat" forum, so the conversation can continue there. Post in the correct Forum: Please post in the right forum, either Sulcata, or Other Torts or Turtles. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Avatar/Signature size limits & links: avatar limits are 100x100. We don’t have a limit on siggys, but please keep them small. Any abnormally large signatures will be removed by admin. Links to other forums will not be allowed unless approved by admin. (siggy size does not apply to staff, as they might have links, rules, etc) * Privacy: SC! records all guests and members IP addresses, for banning purposes only. We do use cookies, this helps track new posts, and other features in the users control panel. SC! will never distribute any contact info. Guests can see your AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, & MSN identities, so don’t disclose them if you want them private. * Registration and Password: You are responsible for your account. If you feel your account has been hacked, please contact admin immediately. Disciplinary action will be taken against your account, no exceptions. Change your password often! * Double posting: double posting is a post by a member, and an immediate post after, adding to the original post. If you have something to add, use the "edit" button. Double posting will not be allowed. If due to a technical hickup, your post, posts twice, hit the report button and it will be fixed. * Copyright Infringement: Copying threads, posts, and articles without prior permission from admin is NOT allowed. Disciplinary action will be taken. It is usually just a case of asking first! If you believe that your property has been posted on SC!, please contact admin ASAP. * Staff: Please obey our Staff.
