Forum Rules

[LeftField]

The following are the rules for use of the CabotBaseball.com forum:

1) Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.

2) Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated. Posts containing Indecent or profane language will not be tolerated at any time. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. Posts that violate this rule will be removed imediately upon discovery and the offending member may lose posting privileges.

3) Users should remember that a post written in all caps is the equivilent of shouting. Please use capitilization in moderation.

4) Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes offering products or services (charged and free), solicitation etc. Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed. Repeat offenses may result in the member losing posting privileges.

5) The moderating team reserves the right to edit, remove or put on moderation queue any post at any time. Please note that currently any very first post is automatically placed in the moderation queue and will be approved/disapproved according to the present Rules. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Team Members and not users.

6) The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of posting and private messaging privileges.

7) In regard to avatars: Users are permitted to utilize a gallery avatar or to link to one of their own. User defined avatars are to be no larger than 120 pixels square, contain no animation, contain no image which attempts to portray the user as having an official status here (e.g. mimicking ranks or copying avatars of team members), may not exceed 12KiB (12288 Bytes) in filesize and have a consistently high availability (i.e. links to images on slow servers or those prone to failure may be removed). Avatars are subject to the same conditions as posts with respect to decency, and so forth. Users abusing these rules will be warned and/or may lose their avatar privileges.

8) Violations of these rules should be reported to the forum administrator at forumadmin@cabotbaseball.com.
