In order to have a community where everyone can feel at ease and comfortable, the following Code of Conduct applies to each forum in The Clubhouse.  

The Golden Rule

"Post unto others, as you would have them post unto you"...  In other words, think about what you are saying and what you have typed before hitting the Enter Key.

Be respectful of your fellow members!

Code of Conduct

Flaming or harassing or threatening another member is not allowed nor will it be tolerated.

Excessive profanity is not permitted, everybody slips once in a while...  The occasional. hell, damn, ass etc... are fine, just not every other word of each post.

Spamming and cross forum posting are not allowed.

Posting of links to Pornographic sites is not permitted, nor is the posting of images of this nature.

Arguing your point with a moderator or refusing to do, or stop doing  something a Moderator has asked you about, will not be tolerated.  If you have an issue with a Moderator, arguing with him or her on the forum is not a smart move.

Screen names, avatars, links of an offensive or suggestive nature will not be tolerated and may be
removed at Administrators discretion.

Posting of personal information (i.e., phone numbers, addresses, employment) within topics is not allowed,
even if the subject is a known re-caster, thief, or recognized pain in the butt.

The following subjects well not be tolerated as topics for conversation:
Politics
Religion
Race
Sexual Orientation

Any Violations of the Code will result in the Three Strikes System (see below) being put into effect

In order to keep things simple we use a "Three Strikes System" for enforcing the rules...

Strike One:  Is a verbal (posted) and email warning from an Administrator or Moderator, which  may direct you to make amends or apologize for your actions to another member or at the very least clean up your own mess.

Strike Two:  Is a suspension of posting privileges for a minimum of two weeks, but may be longer, depending on the nature of the problem.  You will be notified by email of the suspension.

Re-instatement is not automatic... in order to have your privileges re-instated at the end of the suspension period.  YOU will need to request re-instatement of your posting privileges  in an email to the Moderator of the forum that the incident occurred on and the Administrators.

Strike Three:  Is an indefinite suspension of "all" privileges and may include being banned from the community...  This is permanent and normally not reversible, but can be examined on a case by case basis
