Welcome to SFDS Forum. There are a few rules and expectations to keep the place running in a smooth and user-friendly manner. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these basic rules:

• No pornography (linking to or directly posting any media containing nudity or sex)
• Admin, moderators, and other site staff have priority, and must be respected accordingly.
• Check back periodically for updates with the rules and guidelines.
• No, Taking Other People's Work And Posting As Your Own.

• No advertising! (posting a topic about your site or PM'ing members with links to your site is not). Referall links of any nature also fall under this category. Consequences for Advertising without staff permission will be a ban depending on how bad the offense was. There is a big difference between posting a link to help/support a member and posting a link in hopes of gaining traffic. Forum staff will do its best to distinguish between the two. If u would like to advertise, please contact the site admin, and ask for the permission.

• Degredation (Antagonistic, slanderous, racist, or sexist comments will not be tolerated). Flaming is allowed but only in "reasonable amounts." If you persistantly flame members we will single you out.

• Please Do Not Upload Anything Without Admins Permission.

• No impersonating forum staff, or other members. In other words, no making fake accounts with other people's names. Using vbPlaza to impersonate other users falls under this category as well. If you are caught imitating a staff member you WILL BE BANNED! Banning times will vary on how big the staff member is or how close you are to the staffs title. If it is your first offense as someone who is new you will generally be warned, but other members that have been with us longer should know better by now and will start off with a 2 day ban.

• ONE account created by you for use on the forum. If more are found by you, all accounts will be deleted.

-SFDS Point System-

We Are Working On A Point System!

Remember, you are a guest on a free service. Our moderators and admins reserve the right to remove you from the forums at any time for any reason. We will post reasons for our actions as we see fit. You have no rights and may make no demands.

Breaking these simple rules might naturally result in locked or deleted topics and/or a message from a moderator asking you to cool it. Repeated violation of the rules and ignoring requests to stop may end with temporary banning if need be. The whole point of the rules and the moderators isn't to provide strictness, as the forum staff is just as interested as having fun here as anyone else. But with many members, and few staff some degree of civility is needed.

For the most part, just use some common sense while posting, and all will be fine. Like any other forum on the internet, there are of course unspoken 'rules' of etiquette regarding spamming (off topic, short, or otherwise pointless posts), flaming, and whatnot. While such things are not generally enforced on a regular basis, administrative/moderatory action may be taken if such posts become problematic or habitual, thereby causing complaints from other members. It might also be worth mentioning here that doing anything which might be illegal in the real world is also frowned upon here. This could include anything from selling your services as a contract killer or selling black-market babies, to posting other people's private information against their will. Things of this nature are really too numerous to list, and again, fall into the realm of common sense.

Now that This is out of the way, have fun and let us know if you have any prob's. You can contact me personally by pm or via skype, or aim.
