Forum Rules

The Force Ten Community Forum is seeking to grow in size and number in the paintball community and in order to keep the forum running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules for the forum here. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact any of the forum admins, (Guardian, Psycho and Tiger).

General Rules
•While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, profanity (or attempts to bypass profanity filters), insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
•Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or the such.
•Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
•Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum, email, visitor messages, blog comments, picture comments and private message systems to spam other members.
•We also do not allow posts or links to sites that are sexual in nature or violate Force 10 community standards. The Force Ten team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
•Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
•We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
•Posts discussing moderator actions are also not allowed.
•Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
•All post must be made in English
•We also reserve the right to ban anyone who wilfully violates the forum rules, as access to our forum is a privilege and not a right.

We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products, services, funds or donations. Explicit advertising and soliciting in signatures is also prohibited. Note: The only exception is if it is approved by Force Ten members.

Links in signatures must follow these guidelines
•Linking to a commercial product/service is fine, provided it is not a product or service that competes with a product or service offered by vBulletin Solutions and it is not an affiliate program link for vBulletin or any other affiliate program.
•Promotional text for a commercial product or service is ok, provided there are no price(s) of product(s) or service(s) listed.
•A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site is not sexual or does not violate Force Ten community standards. The Force 10 team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about drugs and/or sex.)
•Duplicate links to the same URL in a signature are not allowed.
•Avatars that may be confused with official Force 10 avatars are not allowed.
•Use of the Force Ten logo in avatars is not allowed.

Moderation
Although the administrators and moderators of Force Ten Community Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners/admins of Force Ten Community Forum or (SickOps Web Design/MAGNET Computers - creator of forum and related Force Ten sites) will be held responsible for the content of any message.

By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The Administration of Force Ten Community Forum reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.

Staff Disputes
Any disputes with the staff of the Force Community Forums will be handled in private through the Private Message System.

Addendum
We reserve the right to update and modify these rules as the needs of the community dictate to ensure the smooth operation of this community.
