Spelling and grammar: You guys know how to write; I have no doubt about that. Please take the time to read over your posts before you post them to ensure that it’s not confusing. This includes proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization mainly.
Overuse of emocians - Use the emocians (smileys) as needed, but don't end your posts with more than one of them. That's not necessary, it junks up the forums, and makes dial-upers have to wait for the image to download.
One-word responses – One-word responses are unacceptable for anything with the exception of the forum games. This is simply because it’s unusual for a one-word response to actually have any merit or thought put into it. If you agree with someone, let us know why, don’t just leave us hanging with “^agreed”. This is also specifically hard on our dial up users who have to download the whole template constantly with really no content in it.
Spamming the forums – If a new user is created and they make a mindless thread or post, we generally ban the IP immediately assuming that this individual is either a) not a real person or will never have any merit to PKIC and would simply disrupt the community that we all worked so hard for. This counts for non-PKI related threads or posts, double posting (you have an EDIT function!), as well as one-word responses, intentionally bad information, or ignorance of previous posts.
Respect – This is totally obvious so I’m not going into detail, but I will tell you this: if you get angry or frustrated, put out the flame thrower because a post that’s disrespectful to another user, group, or individual is going to constitute a warning.
9/2/05 Revision -- Due to the board's history of political turbulance, general political talk is NOT welcome on the boards unless it is unbiased and DIRECTLY related to the matter at hand (i.e. Local Senators meet at PKI). Threads or posts that the staff deems to be at risk of causing disrespect or result of people feeling threatened will be removed by the staff. If an individual user is persistant, actiion will be taken against them by the staff.
Signatures- Please limit signature banners to 468x60 pixels or smaller. You may only have one signature banner. (You may have two if you are in our Survivor game.) Also, please limit text to about 6 lines or less. Large signatures are not dial up friendly and are quite annoying in forum games.
Speaking without the concern or not in the interest of PKIC, its community, or its members is a violation of an individual user's terms of service.
