The board rules are pretty simple, and have you in mind while having fun posting on this message board. But at the same time make sure everyone else has fun at the exact same time. Board Posting levels (those things under your user name) are below the rules. FAQ's are below those. If you see a topic not listed in the FAQ's. PM me with your question, and I'll answer them. Either in PM, or if a general board question. I'll add it so other people can get a quick answer.
1. No fighting on the message boards. Period.
If you have a conflict. Take it to PM's.
Any thread where someone is fighting, will be locked down.
If someone offends you in PMs, don't take it back out here on the board.
2. No pornography or nudity allowed on pictures posted here, or links to such.
3. Minimum member age is 13. All posts are to considered PG-13 in rating.
4. Be nice to people. Not just here, but everywhere in life. If you don't like the board or the people don't post on the board about either. Harassment of members on or off the board (including elsewhere on the internet or in person) may result in a ban.
5. No multiple accounts. One account only. The other ID's besides the first one created will be banned. Doing this will cause you to get the first strike.
6. No links to Garbage songs that are commercially available for sale. This includes B-Sides.
7. People joining for sole purpose of SPAMming their board or website will be banned for life and link removed.
8. Accounts that are unused will be deleted. You must post at least once every 6 months. If you haven't posted is 6 months. You will have to create a new account since your old one will have been deleted.
9. Signatures over 500 pixels will be removed and a warning will be issued. No signature will be larger that 500 x 500 pixels.
10. This is an English-speaking community. While the Garbage fan community is world-wide and we encourage fans of all countries to join, we ask that everyone use English as the common language in this community.
Any breaking of the rules will usually cause a casual "knock it off" from a moderator or myself.
Then it will be followed by a formal written warning (PM or thread post). Strike One.
If the same user breaks another rule again. 30 Day Banning. Strike Two.
On the next offense. Life time banning. If the user skirts the banning techniques, any time they are found, they will have that avenue banned too. Life without the possibility of parole.
