Really we hate putting these up because they seem so negative. But for the enjoyment of the MAJORITY of members, the following rules apply:
#1. YOU are responsible for what YOU post: We are not taking the heat for you, plain and simple. If you post something that is either (a) illegal or (b) upsetting to someone in real life, its your problem and the finger gets pointed at you. Any picture or content that you publish is yours and yours alone.
#2. Debate is healthy (within reason), but if you want to debate, find a debating club.
No flames and/or Trolling, ever: We don't care if you carefully word your post; if its intention is designed to/or will upset a Guild member then it's not allowed. You are allowed to disagree with another member and state your opinion. Saying "I think you are wrong because..." is ok. Saying "You're a moron!" is not.
#3. We are adults, act like one: We all agreed that we are over 18 years of age. Remember? Act like it.
#4. The SPAM & Site Links Rule: Posts by members who are business owners are welcome. But talking about your business in every other post is NOT cool.
#5. Silence is Security. Big Brother is alive and looking for an opportunity to turn Guild Members into criminals, so that he can take your licences away from you. He likes sites such as these, because more people dobb themselves in, than get dobbed in. But he does use entrapment, and informants.
#6. No fake nicknames & No sharing passwords: This board "self-moderates" in that we are able to see the IP address of every post as well as other usernames that use the same IP address. If you cannot say what you want to under your real name, then it's not worth posting.
#7. No harassing the moderators: Enough said.
#8. Keep it original: No posting other peoples pictures from other websites! We don't need that kind of drama of people accusing us of stealing pics to beef up this site.
The LAST RULE - The Unwritten Rule..! The “TP Rule":
This rule is for the folk that "Just don't get it", the ones who have trouble living by the Guild’s unwritten rules. The Board is for members in good standing, people who make a positive contribution - a community of reasonable "like minded" members.
The Guild Forum is a "living/breathing" entity that is in real-time. As such, it is quite impossible for us to filter through each and every post. If you find something that you consider is inappropriate, PM us.
