Stark County News Forums Rules
*** PLEASE READ *** Posts in violation will be removed (reminder added 4/10)
To ensure that Stark County News' BBS remains a pleasant forum in which to share information and exchange views, we have formulated a list of rules which we ask you as a user of this board to follow.
These rules are enforced by Stark County News staff, who moderate each forum. Moderators have the power to close or delete any thread which they consider to violate the rules set out below. The moderators work to help ensure that the forums remain polite and useful for the community. Therefore, we ask that moderators be treated with the respect they deserve.
The Stark County News is not responsible for the content of messages posted to this forum. Comment posters are responsible for the opinions they express and the accuracy of the information they provide. We urge comment posters to treat this as a forum where manners matter.
We reserve the right to delete, move, or edit messages at any time for any reason we deem in our judgment to be inappropriate or unacceptable for any reason.
If your thread is closed, please do not simply post a new one on the same subject: you should re-read the rules here to see what has caused the umbrage. If you consider that the moderators are being unfair to you, feel free to post in the "Feedback" forum or send a personal message (PM) or email to a staff member and the matter will be considered carefully.
Use consideration and respect for others. We encourage discussion and viewpoints. Refrain from making insults or personal attacks to other posters, or otherwise. Please keep to the topic. Do not misrepresent your identity as another.
If you continue to violate the guidelines set for this forum you may be permanently banned.
THE RULES
1. The Administrator and Moderators reserve the right to close or delete any thread deemed inappropriate, for any reason whatsoever, whether specified explicitly below or not.
2. You are responsible, both legally and morally, for your postings on Stark County News' BBS. By posting on the BBS you are expressly accepting this responsibility.
3. The Stark County News does not condone or endorse any illegal activities, and expressly prohibits the use of these forums for such activities.
4. You must not employ any language that could be construed as being racist, homophobic, or hateful towards anyone or any group of people. Includes using peoples and groups names in a nonconstructive manner.
5. You may not post "spam". Spam includes any messages that are pointless, irrelevant, self-serving, undiscussable, and/or offensive.
6. Do not upload any "X-rated" or otherwise inappropriate files to the board.
7. Do not make unsubstantiated accusations against others and any name calling. Threads will be deleted.
8. Do not use another persons real name, either to disguise your identity, misrepresent yourself as another person, or to attack an individual or group.
THE ETIQUETTE
1. Please ensure that you post your message in the correct forum. Each forum has a description on the main page to help you.
2. Please make the 'subject' of your thread a succinct summary of your message, rather than "I have a question" or something equally vague.
3. Please do not post any messages in BLOCK CAPITALS or MiXEd LeTtERs. This is irritating to read for everyone else.
If you have any queries, please email the BBS Administrators who oversee all aspects of the BBS:
