What follows are the rules and guidelines of the Bardsworth forums. Please read before registering or posting. If you have an issue with one or more of the rules, please email me.

Treatment of Others

No insulting or rude comments will be tolerated, regardless of the circumstance. Be courteous to fellow members.

Discrimination of any sort, regardless of a person's race, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, status, or disability, will not be tolerated.

Treat everyone with respect.

Etiquette

Excessive cursing/swearing will not be tolerated. You will not be in trouble if you let a four-letter word slip once in a while, but please avoid it if you can.

Typing in all caps is considered shouting. Please refrain from this.

Please type in complete sentences and use spell check if necessary.

Please refrain from using emoticons excessively.

Use HTML formatting appropriately (HTML formatting refers to the bold, italicized, underlined, font-size, color, and font in posts).

Flaming

Flaming is posting insulting criticisms, name-calling, and rude remarks aimed at a particular user or users to incite anger. This will in no way be tolerated. If you are warned about this and continue, you will be banned from the forum.

Trolls and Spammers

Trolls are people that come to the board whose only intent is to harass members.

Spammers are people who either post unsolicited commercial spam (i.e. Great rate on homes!! or Make free money!!) or people who post advertisements with the intent of flooding forums.

The Bardsworth Forum does not tolerate spammers or trolls. We will do everything in our power to make sure that spammers and trolls do not reach our network site and message board, but in the case that they do, they will be immediately banned and their content removed.

Advertising

Do not post ads or links outside of the context of a discussion. If it comes up in the course of a thread, that’s okay, but starting a thread with the intent of driving traffic to your site will not be tolerated.

Note that it is okay if you have a link to your site in your signature, provided they follow the proper guidelines (see below).

Signatures

No adult, racist, mean, rude, etc. images or text will be allowed in signatures.

No links leading to pornographic sites, or sites otherwise deemed offensive, will be allowed in signatures.

Please keep any images small. There should not be more than two images.

Animated images are okay, but again, please do not use overly large files.

If you have a signature that violates these rules, you will be asked to redo it.

We reserve the right remove any signatures that violate these guidelines.

General Posting Guidelines

Besides everything mentioned above, please also respect the following:

Try to keep topics on topic. Make new topics when you want to talk about something different.

Post one topic in one forum only. There is no need to post a topic in several forums (cross posting). Posting it in several forums will just confuse people trying to answer your question.

Read the titles and descriptions of the forums and topics to find the best place to make your thread. Subjects will get more attention from the right people in their correct forum. If you make a post in the wrong forum, simply ask for it to be moved - don't make a second post.

Please do not post for the sole purpose of increasing your post count; emoticon-only replies and similar posts should be avoided.

If you see a post that violates any of the rules set here please contact an administrator or moderator.

Outcomes of Violations

We will evaluate each situation individually. In some cases, simply asking someone to stop doing something will be enough. Warnings will be given before possible banning occurs.

In other, more extreme cases (such as frequent flamers/spammers), immediate banning will be take place.

Notice Regarding the Rules

These rules are in place at all times. The Bardsworth Forum rules may be modified at any time without prior notification.

These rules were last modified on November 26, 2007. We expect you to come read this post each time you see it is updated.

Comments or Questions

If you have any comments or questions regarding anything in this post, please contact an administrator or a moderator by sending us an private message via our profiles.

A Final Note

We hope that you enjoy the board, that you have fun here, and that you find the board helpful!

Thank you for reading and once again, enjoy the board.

Sincerely,
The Bardsworth Forum Administrator and Moderators

Not at all. If you were to make your post like five different headache-inducing colors, then I'd have to call you on it. But as long as you stay consistent with your color choice I'm find with it. :-)

Why so slow? Many many reasons, including difficulty in reaching my artist, as well as repeated changes to the plot

Expect a link, and possibly a button of some sort, as soon as I get the comic up

Agreed, we can't ban yellow, but I also can't promise we'll respond to posts written in yellow
