Rebel Base Rules

Rebel Base Rules and Regulations

In addition to Ezboard's Terms of Service, all members who post at this forum shall be subject to the following rules:

Article I - Spamming
Article II - Contents of Posts
Article III - Flamming and Debate
Article IV - Post Counting
Article V - Reporting Violations
Article VI - Probation Due to Violations
Article VII - Compliance and Invalidity

Article I - Spamming

As per Ezboard's Terms of Service, any threads or posts dedicated to the selling of any product or service shall violate this Article. A link to a separate web page should be provided if you have such products and/or services to sell. Any discussions of money, price, shipping, or customer service shall not be tolerated. Fox & Fara's Rebel Star Fox Base makes no guaranties about the credibility of the one marketing the said product or service. This is not a secure site, and the Rebel Base reminds you that all info given over this site through posts or e-mails through profiles are NOT secure, and could fall into the hands of someone generally evil. Fox & Fara's Rebel Star Fox Base, it's Mods, and their successors, firmly push away from their persons any and all responsibility of making sure that the said sale (which should not take place here on the Base!), is completed as agreed. This not E-Bay! The Mods reserve the right to just get generally fed up with the person peddling the particular product and/or service, and just delete the whole damned post or thread. *One* warning will be given in the midst of the thread, and if ignored, the topic will be closed.

Spamming other members via e-mail, particularly by way of their profile, is expressly forbidden. See Article V for reporting such a violation. .

Computerized word filtering shall not be applied, but the Rebel Base Mods remind you that members can and probably will vary in age. Try to refrain from cursing out everyone and their mother. In light of this, if you are offended by a member's comments, please do not confront that person - please take your comments to a Mod.

As far as the direct contents of threads and posts, topics will be only lightly monitored, with the exception of pornographic material. A word to the wise - if your Fan Fic or Fan Art contains adult material, please provide a link to it rather than posting it directly to the Rebel Base. Also, please make sure you provide a warning along with the link so that no underage members are caught unaware.

Also, *no* posts will be considered empty. Post 50 words or 5 - that's what a forum is for.

Debate is welcomed, as nobody will ever have the same opinion as someone else. However, please keep in mind that this should partain to the debate of a topic, or opinion - not about the IQ or personality of a specific member. Please refrain from insulting somebody's momma.

Please keep such debate in the appropriate forum, or the topic will be moved there for you! Do not make us move the topics!!

Article IV - Post Counting

Including the number of one's posts in one's signature will not be allowed - such info is available via your profile, and posting such information only serves to encourage "Newbie Flame Wars".

Any status symbols given (if any) are not based on number of posts, nor how long a member has been a member.

Article V - Reporting Violations

If you wish to report a violation of these rules, either contact a Mod by e-mailing us through our profiles, or report the violation directly to us via the option to do so on the bottom left of the offending member's post. A pop-up menu will give you the option to ignore the member as well, and this option is encouraged before all other options. If a violation is reported, it will be investigated by the Mods dealt with accordingly.

Article VI - Probation Due To Violations

After three convicted violations, a 7 day gag will be slapped on the perp. After 2 such gags of this nature, a semi-permanent to permanent ban will be enforced. The nature of this ban, whether it be semi-permanent or permanent, will be decided by the Mods. A convicted violation is defined as a reported violation which has been investigated and proved to be a true violation of Ezboard's Terms of Service, and/or the Rebel Base Rules and Regulations. Reported violations that prove to be false, or violations that are reported just because the person bugs you, will be counted against the person filing the false report. Sorta like prank calling 911.

Violations are serious - not to be filed because the member has a different opinion than you.

Article VII - Compliance And Invalidity Of Rebel Base Rules

By posting to this forum, you have agreed that you have read in full the Rebel Base Rules and Regulations, and that you understand that all members will comply under said rules. Further, you acknowledge and comply to any and all further Amendments to these rules posed by Forum Mods.

This time period will be determined by the Forum Mods, and shall not be less than 24 hours in length. Any violators of the said Amendment(s) during this time shall be strongly cautioned, but no violation will arise.

The Articles and future Amendments herein are not intended to supersede or conflict with those in the EZ Board's Terms of Service. In addition, unless duly stated in that Amendment, future Amendments to these Articles shall not hinder or void any of the above Articles. Where a void is made, a note shall be made and highlighted.
