|
PLEASE NOTE:
We reserve the right to delete any posts or
any member for
any reason at any time.
-
Age Limitations
The United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act went into
effect on April 21st, 2000. In order to comply with that law,
Wrestlingfigs.com will not knowingly allow any visitor who is
under 13 years of age.
-
Flaming, Bashing, and Fighting
Hate posts and personal attacks will not be tolerated on the WF
Forums, and this includes bashing new users. While some things are all
in good fun, be careful not to cross the line. If you strongly feel
the need to bash/fight/argue, then the Wrestlingfigs.com forums are
not for you..
-
Profanity and Racial Slurs
Profanity and Racial Slurs are strictly prohibited. Do not make an
attempt to beat the built-in censors, as they are there for a reason.
-
Obscenity
Any obscene images or vulgar statements are absolutely not tolerated.
We at WF are all here for good, clean fun.
-
Impersonation
Using a Wrestlingfigs.com forum username or other methods intending to appear as
someone that you are not is not allowed. This includes account names that mock or
insult other forum members regardless of the circumstances of the
creation of the account. Creating or changing a username to
impersonate or mock another member is grounds for immediate deletion
of a user's account.
-
Spamming Posts
Although members are encouraged to be active message posters,
purposely spamming a message board to gain post counts is not allowed
and unfair to all the users who have earned their post counts
legitimately. This includes such things one or two word "lol", "I
agree", or quote only replies and image only posts. Members who spam
solely for post totals will be dealt with accordingly. A warning will
first be issued, but the if the problem persists, any WF Administrator
reserves the right to dock a fair amount of posts from that member.
-
Spam Advertising
Spamming to advertise a website or products and services is not
permitted, no exceptions. Non-Profit or personal websites may
put a simple link in their signature -or- a small banner. Usernames or
displayed names are not permitted to be a website name. Please feel
free to click HERE if you are
interested in advertising your website or products and services.
-
Duplicate Member Accounts
You may not have more than two user names per person. Any more than
that will be deleted.
-
General Posting/Off-Topic Posts
We require all posts to be positive, constructive, and on topic. We will delete individual posts that may ruin a good
topic thread. Although posting off topic isn't the end of the world,
it is still not allowed. There are many other varied WF forum subjects available to
post in. Please take a look at
all the boards within our forum to make sure your topic applies to the
board you are
posting it to.
-
Illegal Substance or Illegal Activity Discussion
Drug talk, or talk of any illegal activity is strictly prohibited.
Positive statements warning against illegal activities are allowed.
This includes the posting of links and/or discussion relating to other
sites which would include adult content, hack sites, warez sites, and
related.
-
Trading/Buying/Selling at the WF Classifieds Forum
Wrestlingfigs.com is not responsible for results via transactions
between members. Make sure you get recommendations from other users as
to who is a "Good" or "Bad" trader before making your transaction.
Always be careful and be aware that anyone at anytime may not hold up
to their end of the bargain. Users who are proven to have "Ripped-Off"
another user will be banned from the WF Forums.
Do not attempt to make any trades that would include copied video
tapes or DVDs, copied pay-per-view events, copied software, copied CDs
or relating. The trade of such media is in violation of federal
trademark and copyright laws and is illegal.
-
Signature & Avatar Images
Signature Images should be no larger than 300 Pixels High and/or 300
Pixels Long, and no larger than 250k. If the image is a bit larger either way we will certainly
let it slide, but do not go overboard with the size! Large images take
long to load, especially for our friends with slower connections, and images too long can distort the screen for users
with smaller screen sizes.
We do not permit video .gif files for use in either avatars or
signature images because of the slowdown they cause while scrolling
through posts and of course for the same reasons listed in the above
paragraph. However, we will allow an animated low frame count .gif
file. For signature images, the same size requirements listed in the
above paragraph apply. For avatar images, please keep .gifs under 15k.

Moderators
Moderators are chosen on a monthly basis, although there may be some
forums with permanent mods. In some cases their may be more than one
mod per forum as well. Mod changes occur around the first week of every
month.
We choose our moderators based on users performance on the forums.
Such performance includes post history; respectfulness to others;
helpfulness to others and an overall positive attitude. Moderators are
also chosen based on their activity in said boards.
Members can recommend themselves by sending
a Private Message to an admin during the last week of the month with their forum
name, board(s) interested in moderating, and reason why they would be
the best choice.
If any of aforementioned Terms Of Services are violated, it will
result with a warning and subsequent banning and/or deletion of member
account from the Wrestlingfigs.com
forums. This is something we do not want to have to do, so please
conduct yourself with respect.
You may ask "What about freedom of speech? Can't I post anything I
want?" Well the answer is no. When you signed up for the
Wrestlingfigs.com message message forums, you voluntarily agreed to
follow the rules here. "Freedom of speech" applies only to the federal
government, not private businesses, and in any case, you willingly
relinquished some of those rights to have an account here. If you do not
feel that you can follow the rules here, you are more than welcome to
create your own message board on a server that you pay for, and
subsequently enforce your own set of rules
We at Wrestlingfigs.com take pride in running good, clean, fun forums.
We want all our website and forums to be an enjoyable experience to all
it's members and guests. If you notice anything inappropriate, please get in touch
with a WF forum Moderator and/or and Administrator so we can take
further action.
