Below is what is concidered "abuse" on these forums. This is simply in addition to the rules of the forums which should be reviewed by EVERY registrant before joining the forums (these are also on the "Welcome" forum). If you see any of these forums of abuse that have not been acted on by a moderator already, please post them in the "Abuse" forum IN DETAIL!
Bad Language:Bad langage is concidered any language that would not be seen in an AVERAGE PG-13 movie. Abbreviations and acroynms are currently allowed on the forums as long as this does not become common on the boards. PLEASE CONTACT ME (PM PuLsE_007 or email at
lhsbandwebmaster@hotmail.com) if you have any concerns or arguments on this issue, however as it stands, anything that would be rated "R" and above is inappropriate. Please remember that the band and school are not to be held responsible in any way for the content of these boards and it is solely the moderator's responsibility to restrict posts.
SpammingSpamming is concidered constant posting on a single topic or across several topics of non-sense. To be concidered spamming, posts must contain over 10 words AND have no posts between them, have the same word(s) copied many times within a reply, or having the same message or similar messages or posts not relating to the topic across several topics. Someone going down the list and posting a legitimate reply for each topic on the list is NOT spamming and is not against the rules of the forum.
Abusive LanguageAny langage that is abusive to another person (or group) should be reported to a moderator IMMEDIATLY! DO NOT POST ANYTHING ABUSIVE...PERIOD! All abusive posts, regardless of "joking" or not will be deleted and action will be carried out accordingly.
Inappropriate Images & LinksIf any picture is posted that is seen as above PG (notice, not PG-13), it will be deleted from the server and disiplinary action will be taken.
NOTE: Effective 3/13/2006, this includes pictures depicting death or serious injury (blood & gore)
