PLEASE READ & RESPECT THESE BOARD RULES:
Thank you for making The Elvis Truth Seekers a pleasant experience in sharing your insights, opinions and friendships.
Rules can be intimidating, DON'T be afraid to post.
In order to continue to make this forum a pleasant experience for everyone, as more members may be joining in the future and with a larger group of members, rules must be set.
The following rules list the most serious violations:
1. No Hacking someone elses account - Guessing someone else's password and succeeding counts as hacking. Members who hack will instantly be permanently banned without warning.
2. No Discrimination, - Discrimination will NOT be tolerated here!
3. No Bullying - Do not pick on other members. The worst kind of bullying is where new members are picked on. Bullying will NOT be tolerated here either!
4. No harassing other members - Harassment hurts the nice atmosphere of any forum. It also causes thread's to go off topic, and most importantly, it hurts the person being harassed. The victim may defend themselves against any accusations made at them, but may not make any additional accusations to the harasser (which also counts as harassment).
5. No Profanity or Obscene Content - Such content does not belong here. A censor system is in place as a backup when you see words in your post being replaced with ****. Please edit your post and tone it down before your post ends up being deleted altogether. To edit a post, click the "Edit" button right below it. Cheating the censor system is against the rules.
If you break one of these rules, the following penalties will apply (first time, second time, third time...) with the exception of breaking the rule "No Hacking" which will immediately result in a permanent ban:
1. Warning - First offense. Will be issued a warning.
2. Temporary ban - 2nd offense. A person or a group of people who cause more problems after being warned will be banned for one month.
4. Permanent ban - 3rd offense. At this point, it is obvious that nothing will change, thus, a permanent ban is necessary to be rid of the problem.
The following rules are also important:
1. No Copyright infringement - In this forum, you are allowed to promote your own material/merchandise here. However, you are not allowed to sell someone elses line of merchandise without showing first that you have their authorization to do so.
2. No double posts or threads - Double posts or threads will be merged into other threads. So if you can't find your post or thread, it's because it's been merged into another thread that had already been started on the same subject.
3. Spamming: Spamming is not allowed, and is defined as a post that has no meaning.
4. No Threats to Leave the Board - Due to past experiences on other forums, I have had to add this rule. You may not make posts threatening to leave the board. This causes wasted forum space. That's because most members who threaten to leave never do leave. It's basically the same as spamming.
5. Phone numbers and personal info - If you want to post them on the forum, that's up to you. Just remember that this is a public forum. If you want the whole world to know your phone number or where you live, that's your discrepancy. If you start getting strange calls in the middle of the night, don't blame anyone else but yourself. A much safer way to share such info is through PM. However that's up to you. If you are under age 13, please get your parents permission before giving out any personal info. The Elvis Truth Seekers team will not be held responsible to those who give out their personal info here or anywhere else.
The following are a set of amendments to clarify the rules for those people who wish to address it:
Amendment 1 - There are no excuses for breaking the rules. If you break a rule, it does the same damage, regardless of your reasons for breaking it. It just makes our job harder to clean up after you and we are not here to babysit.
Amendment 2 - If you have a question about why your posts and threads were merged, moved or deleted, then please ask. Please do not harass the Administration Team about it, it is not allowed. The Admin Team are only trying to do their job, and many times they have to make difficult decisions.
Amendment 3 - If you break more than one rule, the punishments will stack up to. 3rd strike, your out.
