If you receive 3 or more PM warnings within 90 days you will be banned from the forum for a cooling off period of at least 30 days.
Other terms of punishment may be given to members who we see fit. We have right to not follow the above and go straight to a banning or some other type of punishment.

Our Staff will Abide to these rules
- To not be afraid to kick out losers, spammers and general idiots who are hellbent on wrecking things for everyone else.
- To be friendly and welcoming to new members - fresh blood is what will keep us alive, after all.
- To keep a sense of humour running (as long as no-one is getting hurt by it) - life is already too serious.
- To moderate only when necessary - let the group set its own protocols wherever possible.
- To be truly global; not because it is politically correct to be multi-cultural but because, in doing so, it introduces more viewpoints and more experience than an attempt to restrict membership to a continent or even country.
