Forum Use Posting Cautions Disputes
Respect other countries Zero spam Member disputes
Multiple accounts Crossposting Disputes against staff
Opinions and beliefs Guest posting Reporting abuse

A. Forum Use:

1. Remain courteous and respectful regarding other people's countries. Anything determined a deliberate slight or insult toward anyone's nationality will result in the member being permanently banned. This is a zero tolerance policy.

2. Multiple forum user accounts by the same person are forbidden. Should you ever wish to change your forum username, please contact the forum administrator.

3. Bear in mind how your opinions and beliefs are your own concern, right up until you openly voice them. Once voiced, they become everyone's concern.


B. Posting Cautions:

1. Zero spam policy. We are all for helping people promote their web projects. However, if you are posting a link to your website just to drive traffic to it or with the intention of using Llamasery only to boost your search engine rankings, your post will be declared spam and your link removed. This also holds true for posting links to any online voting or affiliate referral system designed to provide weighting or rewards based on the number of hits.

2. Crossposting (posting the same topic in multiple forums) is frowned upon to an amazing degree and is normally regarded as spam. Should you be uncertain of what constitutes crossposting, ask and a moderator will explain it to you.

3. We are far more interested in inspiring an active membership than we are with bloating the member base with dormant accounts. As a result, guest posting is enabled on this forum to allow people to test the waters and ask a few questions before committing to signing up for an actual forum membership. The terms and rules for guest posting are identical to those for registered members.


C. Disputes:

1. Whenever possible, disputes against other (non-staff) forum members should be handled away from the open forum. If ever you have a particular problem with another forum member, please email or PM a moderator and describe the situation.

2. Disputes against staff members. This forum operates with a clear chain of command and it shall be used for any member disputes against staff members. Challenging any Llamasery staff member on the public forum is regarded as the poorest of personal and professional courtesy, and will not be tolerated. Disputes against any general staff member (moderators) should be addressed to their Vice President (Careers, Community, or Development, as applicable and available), while disputes against Vice Presidents or the site Administrator are addressed to the Senior Vice President.

3. Abuse reporting should be as specific as possible. If there is an immediate or potential problem regarding what someone has posted in a public forum, please advise the moderator for that forum. For abuse of forum features (such as spam through the forum PM or email system), please contact the forum administrator.
