Hi everyone, In light of some suggestions I have received I have decided to formally post the rules for the 49ers Paradise Forum. Please read through them all before posting. Please also be aware that this is a work in progress, and will be updated as I receive suggestions by email.
Most of these rules are not new, but please read through them anyway. They may seem a little harsh, but they have been inacted in order to help maintain the high regard this forum has gained since its establishment. Thank you for your cooperation.
1. Members who do not post within 4 months of joining the forum will automatically be deleted.
2. Members who have not posted in over 366 days will be deleted.
3. Members who are over their private message limit by more than 5 will receive one warning before having messages automatically deleted, and a new password assigned to them.
4. Spamming the board will result in being banned. I reserve the right to define the word 'spamming' as I see fit, though I will attempt to provide a more detailed explanation soon. Note that this does include attempts to raise ones post count.
Spamming: posting non 49ers or football information in any section of the forum except the "Post-Game Show". Attempts to solicit anything in a section other than "Post Game Show" or "Niners Classified Ads." Repeated posts that say nothing, (things like "I agree", "update me", "what did I miss"). Anything that can be perceived as simply trying to increase one's post count, or trying to reply to every single topic in the forum. Entertaining personal conversations within a 49ers topic. Essentially any post which does not add to the football content and information in a topic.
5. Images posted on the forum, and in signatures can not exceed 150x150 pixels (images should be cropped down or reduced using a photo editor, not simply re-sized using width and height attributes) unless they are being used by a corner writer, in a corner article. Avatars may not exceed 130 width by 150 height pixels, but should be kept to 100x100 whenever possible. You are only allowed one signature picture at a time.
6. The use of copywrited material is strictly prohibited. Please make sure that all material is sourced.
6b. Users can not post entire articles in any thread. With the exception of NFL (not 49ers) articles in the specific "Article" threads. Full articles posted in other threads will be deleted. Articles that are posted that already exist in the Hot Off The Press section, or that should be added to this section will be deleted.
7. The use of profanity and personal insults or political commentary is strictly prohibited. Members and Guests who are seen as a detriment to the community will be banned - sometimes without warning. Misconstruing facts is also a detrimental act to the community and will result in the user being banned.
8. Off-topic posts (particularly off 49ers topic posts) in any thread other than the post-game show will be automatically deleted unless they are seen to add to the community on the site. Please make use of the "Quick Memos" and the "Chat" for conversation purposes outside of the topic.
9. Please avoid "replying with quote" but quoting an entire post. Please only quote the part of the post that you are indeed replying too, or simply use the "reply" feature instead.
10. Repeated topics will be locked and deleted as soon as possible. DO NOT POST A NEW TOPIC without checking to see if a similar discussion already exists.
11. I reserve the right to lock any topic that is getting too long and post a "continued" topic.
12. All articles copy pasted must contain a source, and should not be posted in their entirety. DO NOT POST ARTICLES WRITTEN BY OTHER FAN SITES
