Code Of Conduct For Members

Hi all,
In order to ensure a peaceful and enjoyable experience for all members of Bd-forums, admin and the moderators have come up with a Forum Code of Conduct which all members should review and adhere to. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact admin or any of the moderators.

Cheers,

Kishoremania development team

Our goal is to ensure that bd-forums’s online forums are welcoming environments where people can come together and discuss relevant subjects and topics in a friendly and non-aggressive environment. The purpose of this code of conduct is to ensure that users can participate in the forums and chats without being ‘flamed’, personally attacked, harassed or be exposed to inappropriate materials. Bd-forums values freedom of expression on the site, but not at the expense of offending others. We want all members to have an enjoyable and fun experience. With this in mind we have established the Code of Conduct to help us achieve that goal. Please assist us by posting relevant messages that are consistent with the Code of Conduct. In short, we aim to maintain forums with appropriate standards of civil posting behaviour and where members respect the rights of others. This Code of Conduct is subject to the bd-forums member rules.

Please take some time to carefully read and understand the Code of Conduct, and the penalties for violations. Non-compliance will result in forfeiture of your privilege to access the forums and chat channels may result in a permanent ban. The following actions constitute a violation of the Code of Conduct.

1. Non-adherence or violation of the Bd-forums membership rules.
2. Using an invalid email address for your user account.
3. Posting messages that display or link to po*nographic or sexually offensive material.
4. Posting messages that in any way breach or violate the terms and conditions.
5. Any attempts to breach forum security, or gain unauthorized access into user accounts. This includes the action of guessing passwords, successful or not. Assisting others with such attempts or actions also constitutes a violation.
6. Exploiting, or attempting to exploit, forum bugs, vulnerabilities, or loopholes.
7. Flooding the forum with repeat or similar meaning messages. What constitutes flooding behaviour is at the discretion of Bd-forums admin and Bd-forums appointed moderators.
8. Registering accounts with usernames or using screen names that are offensive or created with intent to cause disruption to the forums.
9. Impersonating Bd-forums on the forums or Bd-forums web site areas generally (including chats)
10. Posting messages that are inflammatory and made simply with the intent to provoke disruption to the forum and encourage, incite or continue ‘flame’ threads. ‘Trolling’ posts will not be tolerated. Posts that are disruptive and destructive in character will not be tolerated. Flaming is deemed to include insulting, personally directed criticisms and/or posts that include comments aimed to incite anger. Trolling is deemed to include posts aimed to incite disruption or stir up trouble. For example, posting to a thread or starting a thread without the intent to contribute positive suggestions or comments. Instead, the aim is negative and disruptive comments.
11. Using expressions or language in posts that are considered foul, vulgar, hateful, bigoted, sexually harassing, racially offensive, or are in any way discriminatory. Whether an expression falls within this definition will be determined at the discretion of Bd-forums admin and/or Bd-forums appointed forum moderators.
12. Making posts that personally attack, insult, threaten, harass or are clearly disrespectful of the opinions of other participants. This means, if you are engaging in debates that involve challenging, questioning and disputing the opinions and views of others, you are required to do so in a civil manner and ensure that your posts are relevant and on-topic. This rule does not exclude posts that are critical or questioning. It does, however, require that you carefully consider the tone of language in such posts to ensure that they are civil.

Violations and Penalties

Violation or infringement of any of the rules in this Code of Conduct may result in the immediate revocation, suspension or termination of the privilege to post on Bd-forums. Bd-forums reserves the right to vary the severity and suddenness of the penalty based on the nature of the violation. Bd-forums reserves the right to refuse to post or remove any posts, material or links that we deem unacceptable, offensive or in violation of the rules without further notice. We also reserve the right to suspend, prohibit or terminate the registration of any user who violates the rules from using the site or site related services without warning.

Bd-forums admins and Bd-forums appointed moderators are the sole arbiters as to what constitutes a violation of the Code of Conduct.

Penalties will be applied in Bd-forums discretion as follows:

1. Generally, a first violation will result in a warning. Second violation will result in a temporary two week ban. Further violations will result in a month ban. Repeated and severe violations may attract a permanent ban at Bd-forums discretion.
2. Severe and repeat violation may attract a permanent ban without warning.

Note 1: If possible warning(s) will be sent to the infringing user's email account. If email warnings are bounced, Bd-forums will apply a temporary ban on that account until the user contacts us.

All administrative actions taken by the administrators and moderators of these forums are final. These actions may include but are not limited to: delete/close/move thread/message, banning & account reset. The posting of any personal attacks or criticisms directed at the Bd-forums admins and appointed forum moderators will not be tolerated. Posts commenting on or criticizing forum administrative actions will be deleted.
