Forum Rules

This forum needs a few simple rules to ensure that everyone's visit here is enjoyable and comfortable.

If you break the rules we'll do one of two things: For less serious violations, you may be given a temporary ban or a warning, for serious breaches your account will be banned.

The following rules are the most serious violations and will result in a permanent ban:

  1. No Hacking - This should go without saying, but you are not permitted to hack the board. Guessing someone else's password and succeeding counts as hacking. Members who hack will instantly be permanently banned without any warnings.
  2. No Discrimination, - You may not insult members based on their religion, race, sex, political beliefs, or sexuality. The footymums forums are a place where everyone is equal, and discrimination will NOT be tolerated!
  3. No Bullying - Do not pick on other members. The worst kind of bullying is where new members are picked on. This hurts the member as well as the board.
  4. No Profanity or Obscene Content - Because of our intended audience, such content does not belong on footymums. A censor system is in place as a backup. If you see words in your post being replaced with ****, you have done something wrong. Please edit your post and tone it down before your timer runs out. To edit a post, click the "Edit" button right below it. Cheating the censor system is against the rules.

The following rules are important to maintain the quality of the content of the forums on footymums. Breach of these guidelines may result in a warning or temporary ban from the site.

  1. No Advertising - You are not permitted to make money using footymums content. You are not allowed to use the member list to obtain Instant Messenging screen names to harrass people to purchase a product from you.
  2. No Illegal Activity - You are not allowed to break the law using footymums. This can get us into legal trouble. Posting links to other rooms is illegal, so this counts as a violation of this rule.
  3. No Double Posting or Spamming - You may not post more than once in a row in the same thread. Posting lots of times in a row reduces the quality of the board, is a waste of the board's memory, and provides the culprit with ill earned post count points. Double posts will be merged into regular posts, and you will lose 10 postcount for each of the posts excluding the first one. Your post count can be changed to a negative number if necessary. The only exeption to this rule is if your edit timer (24 hours) for the post has run out, in which case you may double post if you have something important to add. Spamming is also not allowed, and is defined as a post that has no meaning.
  4. No Topic Bumping - If a topic you created has no replies, you may not post again in it (although you may edit the post if the timer has not run out). If you made the thread because you need help with something, you may post again as long as you include additional information about your problem (the fact that you really really want it fixed does not count as additional information). You must post this in the same thread, and you are not allowed to create more than one thread per topic.
  5. No Posting Personal Info - You may not post your last name, or your street address anywhere on the footymums forums. This is because this information then becomes accessible to anyone.
