.:: ShareZone ::. Rules and Membership Guidelines

Welcome to the ShareZone Forum. We're pleased that you are joining us, or have joined us already.

We wish our Forum will bring a pleasurable experience and to remain as helpful as possible to its users. In order to maintain clean and steady, we demand civility in our Forum, and as such, we have compiled these "Rules of conduct"

Remember that the following rules are applicable to everybody, you are among many other real people who use this forum, and as such, we expect you to participate within the guidelines of our rules detailed below.

Posting Rules
ShareZone members will behave with civility at all times. The Management will not tolerate personal attacks against any Members or Moderators or their businesses.

You will not:

* post information (factual or otherwise) that is illegal, libellous, harmful, threatening, harassing, abusive, racially or sexually offensive, defamatory or objectionable in a reasonable person's view.

* attempt to hack these forums or attempt to gain access to any other Members account.

* use profanity. While profanity, when used properly, is an effective way of conveying emotion and/or thoughts, when abused it can be detrimental and offensive. Please keep in mind that we do have young people and people from all areas browsing these forums. Therefore, no profanity should be used. If used, it will be removed and considered a violation of these rules.

* wander off-topic. Posts in a particular forum need try and stay on topic. If you want to talk about something that is drastically removed from the topic of a forum, please take it to another, correct topic. We welcome most general conversation in the "General Discussion" forum.

* challenge the authority of any Moderator.

* send unsolicited PM's to Moderators, Admins or Members.

Signature Policy

* Maximum characters, 300

* Maximum lines, 2 (at 800 x 600)

We reserve the right to modify signatures that do not comply with the above and signatures we feel are innapropriate.

Avatar Policy

* Maximum width and height: 120px each

* The image must be suitable for a family audience

Spam Policy

Individuals who abuse the website by selfishly sending out private message spam to members or posting spam communications on the Forums will be immediately dealt with. Your IP Address will be forever banned and your account will be deleted with warning or goodbye.

Editorial Policy

Moderators and Administrators are in complete control here. They are the management, and as such have the full authority to edit or remove any post without warning. Moderator and Admin decisions are final.

Violation of the Rules

Should you break the rules, you will lose your status as a member here. Your login will be disabled and at our humble discretion, your IP will be banned from the Forums.

Remember all e-mails and 'personal messages' are logged and can be distributed to the appropiate authorities easily and with no fuss and we intend to distribute them if you are found to be in breach of these conditions and let the authorities take any action with full co-operation from the management.

You are held solely and personally responsible for what you post and for any repercussion of something you said or wrote that may have been out of line or damaging to a person, company's reputation, or any product or service. Please remember that if you should decide to unsubscribe, neither you, nor we can delete your posts.

If you feel threatened by another user or have concerns about a conversation, we ask that you try to work it out privately with the member, away from ShareZone, so as not to ruin the experience of other guests.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY THESE RULES WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE AT ANY TIME
