Everyone is going to be offended by something, generally speaking.
It is very difficult to offend me, but that which I find funny, might make you cry.
That being said, there must be some rules.
1 - Speak to other members in the manner which you would want them to speak to you. This is known as the "Ethic of Reciprocity". More commonly know by the term "The Golden Rule".
2 - I have no problem with cussing, personally, but ProBoards has their own set of Terms & Conditions which I have to be at least as strict as. Try to keep the language somewhat clean. We don't have to be G-Rated, but we can't sound like a Boston Sailor pub, either.
3 - Members are allowed to post photos and videos. I have a zero tolerance policy regarding pornography(on here, anyway). Violent images/video are allowed, if they are pertinent to the topic of conversation.
4 - SPAM will be regarded the same as porn: one offense, and you are banned for life. This includes worded posts, pictures, video, and links. I don't care that you've found a way to make six figures from home. Tell it to some other forum.
5 - Racism, misogyny, and any bigotry or bullying of any kind will not fly here. There are plenty of forums that cater to that mentality, so if that's the type of person you are, I suggest you go sign up with them.
I will update these rules as I see fit.
We are here to have good conversation, and maybe try to help each other out. If that sounds good to you, then please continue and jump into some threads, or create your own!
Welcome, and have a good time!
