1- Be Nice. If you can't be nice, you got to go. No abusing our Staff!
2- Stay on topic please. We are pretty liberal about most of our discussions but we don't want to see topics 'hijacked' to something completely different than what it started out as.
Discussion in EVERY specific recipe topic MUST stay on topic.
Topic discussions that go astray will be deleted.
You MAY go nuts in the general chat areas! That is what they are there for.
3- Picture sizes should be no bigger than 500 x 500 pixels. I am also liberal on this to the point that a little larger is ok as long as you DON'T have them so big as to cause one to scroll side to side on the screen to view them or the topic. Please refer to the section on how to host your images and size them. This is another 'set in stone' rule.
*note: this rule goes for off site hosted images as well! Please resize your Photobucket, ImageShack etc images before posting them!
4- Any image(s) within a member's signature file should not exceed 40,000 pixels TOTAL eg one image 200 x 200 pixels, 4 images 100 x 100 pixels each, one image 400 x 100 pixels and the TOTAL file size of the image(s) should not exceed 20KB. Please, the forums are for discussions and not a public free advertisement area or giant billoard. NO LINKING IN SIGNATURES! This will get you banned.
Signatures should not take over the post, but simply add a personal touch. I don't ask anything I don't adhere to myself. This is a STRICT rule. This goes for our Staff too. It is set in stone. Don't argue with me.
5- Members sharing any personal information with any other member using the private messaging system do so at their own risk.
6- Just Goin Fishin' does not have access to private messages posted between members and accepts no responsibility or liability for the content of private messages posted by site members.
7- The private message system is not intended as your private bashing area. This should not be used as your secret hate section to another member. Do not post anything that is rude, abusive, threatening, hateful, racist, homophobic, sexist, ageist, pornographic, obscene, vulgar, sexually orientated, defamatory, libellous, insulting, name-calling, offensive, false, misleading, promoting illegal activity or inflammatory.
Be polite to other site members at all times, be respectful of other member's opinions.
NO HATE! Any hate should be reported to Eric or to any Ambassador/staff member by using the report button located in each topic.
8- NO SPAMMING.
Do not use my site for the sole purpose of pushing your own place or another friend's site for the sole purpose of gaining OUR members.
NO SPAMMING to push or sell products. NO SPAMMING the members via private message. Violation of the above will get you banned.
I have liberal advertising policies and will be glad to add a reciprocal link to your site. All you have to do is ask.
9- Any member receiving a private message in violation of the rules should forward the message and give the username of the person who sent the message to Admin or any other Forum Moderator by private message who will deal with as deemed appropriate.
10- If you post something controversial, you better be prepared for the 'flashback' from it. We don't censor here and if you got the guts to say it, you must have the guts to take it!
11- NO HATE. NO HATE. NO HATE. We are not going to tolerate hate of any sort. Controversial discussion is fine and welcomed, but outright hate will not be tolerated. If you can't do that, then go away now. Tell me and I'll delete your membership. We have no tolerance for hateful people.
12- NO TROLLS or LURKERS! Anyone caught behaving like a troll will be automatically banned and their account deleted.
LURKERS include registered members! We want this board to be a nice friendly community. We also understand if you don't have allot to say or often but we do expect some level of participation in the forum. Like I said, we want a freindly atmosphere and we work hard at finding the goodies for you and maintaining the board. We like to know you a little and that our efforts are appreciated.
13- NO CATTINESS, CLIQUES, EXCESSIVE TATTLING, GANGING UP ON ANOTHER MEMBER, OR OTHER BULLSHIT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR -
Excessive abuse of the report button and childish tattling type behavior will get you instantly banned and your account deleted.
See Rule #12 if you can't understand WHY.
14- Foul Language.
We do not believe in censorship of any sort here but we do ask you to try to curb your language. I want to allow the younger members of society - children - to access this site without going to mommy saying we're a foul mouthed bunch of barbarians.
Excessive cussing will bring great grief upon your head. This includes staff.
Enjoy the Show!
