Posting Rules/Guidelines
1. Be respectful of others at all times.
The purpose of the forum is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas. Occasionally, there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Be courteous when disagreeing with others. It is possible to disagree without being insulting.
2. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts which are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated.
3. Avoid using profanity.
Using partial masking (such as asterisks or punctuation marks) to bypass the profanity filter is prohibited and will result in the same action as if the actual word had been typed.
4. Do not post images or text which are copyrighted without permission.
When posting material from an external source be sure to credit the source, and provide a direct link if possible.
5. Do not post 'blind' links.
Posters are encouraged to summarize the contents of a link, and to briefly state its purpose.
6. You may not post advertisements.
Posts discussing or linking to online sites or offline resources for the sale of goods or services are strictly prohibited.
7. No posting of personal information.
Please respect the privacy of other members and avoid posting information such as names, email, phone numbers and addresses without permission.
8. The forum’s Private Message (PM) system should not be used for advertising/spam, recruitment or harassment.
[Note:Members who wish to promote relevant events or information are asked to post those events in the event thread under the General Section. Administration reserves the right to refuse and/or delete irrelevant material or notices.
9. Dual accounts (or 'Sockpuppets') are prohibited.
Forum users are only permitted one active account at a time, addtional accounts may be removed at the discretion of staff.
10. Trolling, Spamming, Cyberbullying and cyberstalking, (as defined below) are prohibited.
- Trolling is when someone posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages, with the intention of a) provoking other users into an emotional response or b) to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
- Spam is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users.
- Cyberbullying is when someone repeatedly makes fun of another person online, or repeatedly picks on another person, through postings and/or PMs, with the intention to harm, damage, humiliate or isolate another person.
- Cyberstalking is when posts are used to harass another individual, group of individuals, or organization. This behavior includes false accusations, monitoring, the transmission of threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, and gathering information for harassment purposes. The harassment must be such that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress.
11. An immediate and permanent ban from the forum can result from any of the following:
The posting of pornography; discriminatory remarks which are sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive; excessive obscene or vulgar language; posts which discuss or illustrate illegal activity; providing links to sites that contain any of the aforementioned.
12. Warnings and suspensions are not to be discussed on the forum.
Such matters shall remain private between the Compass Morainn Staff and the member. Questions or comments concerning warnings and bans will be conveyed through e-mail or private messaging. Likewise, discussions regarding moderator actions are not permitted on the forum. If you have questions regarding a post or thread, please contact an administrator.
NOTIFICATION
If the content of a post is deemed not to comply with the rules above, the post may be edited or removed by a staff member. Depending on the content of the post, appropriate action may be taken concerning the poster's account, which can include a warning, a temporary suspension, or a permanent suspension.
Posters who are disruptive will have their account temporarily suspended and a moderator note will be sent to inform them of the length of time of their suspension. Typically three to seven days. The term "disruptive" will be defined by the moderator and administrators on a case by case basis. In some instances, posters may be subject to a permanent suspension. Hopefully you will never need to concern yourself with that.
Right to Appeal:
Disputes which cannot be resolved between forum users and moderators may be arbitrated by the forum administrators.
To discuss problems or concerns, please send an e-mail to: admins@omf.com
Thank you for taking the time to read these rules, and welcome to the forum!
