FrostCloud Posting Rules

Rules for Posting:
I’m a proponent of free speech. I believe you should be able to express your thoughts and feelings without being subjected to censorship. That being said, there are still limitations to speech here. These are the actions that will get you permanently banned:

1. Making personal threats, or threatening to do harm upon another member.
2. Posting commercial advertisements (spam) or links to them.
3. Posting pornography, obscene images, or links to them.
4. Treating forums like a chat room (basically, keep one-word replies to a minimum. Try our FrostCloud ShoutBox if you want to chat).

How to Handle “Heated” Discussions:
Due to the controversial nature of some discussions, you may be personally insulted or your ideas unjustly ridiculed. When this happens, take the “high road.” This means do not respond with further insults resulting in a flame war. Instead, take the opportunity to respond with civility, wisdom, and compassion. You will not only successfully diffuse a heated discussion, you will also gain the high respect of other members.

Signatures and Introducing Yourself:
I do allow members to have a link back to their own personal site or blog in their signatures. Feel free to also represent yourself or your organization by posting an introduction in our Members Forum. Advertising products or having links to commercial sites are NOT allowed.

Disclaimer: We reserve the right to change these rules at any time and any moderator through his/her discretion can ban anyone as they see fit.
