Re:Site Rules and Forum Usage
      Wed May 16 2007 09:56 PM

I believe Ed just did something like this (many times) but I feel the need to do it once again. Please, all users, old and new alike.... review the Rules section of this site and try to keep to the proper Forum as best possible.

RULES:

Flhurricane is fairly leniant with discussion, but please use common sense when posting. We try to be as fair as possible, but are also trying to keep the quality of the site relatively high. Quality content over quantity is the goal of this site.

Posting here implies acceptance of the following terms and conditions:
- Participants shall not post any material likely to cause offence, that is protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary right - without the express permission of the owner of such copyright - or that contains personal phone numbers or addresses.
- Use of appropriate content is required. Abusive, profane and vulgar language will not be tolerated.
- Participants may not use the Forums to post or transmit advertisements or commercial solicitations of any kind. If you want a website linked, email us the link and we will add it.
- The appropriate Forum Moderator has the right to edit, censor, delete or otherwise modify any posted message.
- This web site does not verify or guarantee the accuracy of the material posted to the Forums or bear any responsibility for any loss, damage, or other liabilities caused by any posted message.
- Public Personal attacks on other users will not be permitted.
- Excessive "Forum Drama" will result in a probation or ban.
- Wishcasting and alarmist posts are prohibited. Gut feeling posts without any explanation are not allowed on the news talkbacks, they will be moved to the forecast lounge. Alarmist posts will be graveyarded.
- Attempts to hack or perform denial of service attacks on the flhurricane server network will result in a firewall block for the entire flhurricane subnet and possible legal action.

Hints:

Before you post: Before posting, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post which is informative, or interesting or adds to thoughtful discussion on any level? If is a reply, does it offer any significant advice or help contribute to the conversation in any fashion?" If you can answer "yes" to this, then please post. If you cannot, then refrain from posting.
Low Content Posts: Please do not make single line posts containing no content (ie, "Thanks!" "Great Post" "Cool!", "I agree", or something else completely void of meaning). Or general cheerleading, for example, if you think someone did a good job and have nothing else to add send them a PM, it works better for this. We appreciate the thanks, but otherwise posts like these just litter up the forums. Remember, CFHC is not a Chat Room - it is a Niche topic-oriented site, so please attempt to stay 'on topic' by placing your posts in the proper Forum. Main page articles are usually focused on one particular topic, the other forums are open to use as well and are moderated less strictly.
Politics: This is not a political board, if it involves a certain party or a certain particular individual or group that is politically based, your post will be graveyarded.
Deparment of Redundancy Department: If a poster continually makes the same post, or nearly the same post repeatedly on the same point, it will likely be put in the graveyard and the poster be put on timed poster probation.
Respect the Mods: The moderators are here to keep the forum function of the site safe, sane, and secure. Please do not harass or intentionally annoy the mods. If they ask you to do something, please do it. If you do not like the mods or the moderation here, then feel free to not post here. If you have an issue with a mod, email cfhc@flhurricane.com or pm an Administrator
Harass and Sass: If somebody is harassing you on the forums then discuss it with them over PM or email before contacting a mod about it. Someone who simply disagrees with you does not constitute harassment. Please do not post others' personal information (phone number, addresses, emails, etc.). Try to stay out of other peoples' personal lives as well. Keep in mind there's a good distinction between the Internet and real life.
Crazy Catchall: Please do not try to cleverly circumvent some rule listed here. These rules are general guidelines and are very flexible. We won't catch everything, and we don't try to be overly zealous in moderation either. It is impossible. Although we don't take ourselves or the site very seriously, the subject matter of hurricanes we do.
Posting Style: Proper spelling/grammar is a big plus. This helps people understand what you're trying to say. It doesn't have to be perfect, but at least make it look like you try. Obviously, English is not the native language of everyone and even native speakers are prone to mistakes. Simply try to spell properly. Do not use spelling short hand, or what is often referred to as "AOL Speak". The message board is not AIM or ICQ or IRC. You are not within the bounds of AOL's system. You are not in a race for post counts. You can and should take your sweet time when posting. Some examples of spelling short hand are "u" for "you", "4" for "for", "r" for "are", and others.
Do not intentionally butcher your words. We're not your English teacher, but we don't wish to be subjected to your abysmal spelling just because you think it's trendy, unique, cool, or whatever. It is not trendy. It is not unique. The only way it makes you stand out is as someone lacking a reasonable number of brain cells. Some examples of this spelling are "kewl", "luv", and any instance of replacing "s" with "z". Occasional usage is accepted, but don't construct your entire posts like this.
Image size and linking. Keep all inline post images smaller than 600 pixels horizontal and 500 pixels vertical. Make sure all images you display in your posts are hosted on your own webspace. We do not approve of bandwidth leeching and forcing other people to pay for your images. If it is not hosted by you or a image hosting service (ie imageshack or photobucket ), just use a hyperlink to the image instead.

Distruptive, or bad posts will get moved to the graveyard (as well as any direct responses to a graveyarded post) to serve as an example of what not to post. If a post of yours ends up in the Graveyard, don't worry, mistakes happen. It isn't intended to humilate, just serve as an example. Non main news forums are less strictly moderated.

Any violation of the Guidelines could result in messages being edited and/or removed and the violator being warned, put on timed posting probation, or banned.

- Please use the "Alert Mods to Bad Post" button () below each post to report any possible violators.
For other questions/suggestions and updates see the site update forum

If you do not agree with these rules, please do not register an account or post. The only people we want to register accounts are those who really want to be here and will respect the rules and other forum members. We reserve the right to ban anybody on the forums. If you disagree with the above, then you are more than welcome to create your own hurricane site, and we will link it.
