Please note: These guidelines have been compiled by myspace administration and are enforced throughout each forum. Please familiarize yourself with them and consistently abide by them throughout the entire forum community. Thank you.

• No Spamming

When posting in a public forum, one is subject to the opinions of the entire community. The opinions expressed may support or oppose that of your own. That said, we request that users conduct themselves respectfully and demonstrate maturity when responding to others. All users will be held 100% accountable for their behavior and the content of their posts.
• Have an opinion.
• Voice your opinion.
• Play nice.
• Respect your Forum Moderators.
• Violators of our T. O.S. will be held personally accountable. This includes, but is not limited to, the deletion of posts/threads, being banned from MySpace Forums entirely, and/or the deletion of your MySpace account.
• Did you find an offensive thread? A Forum flooded with Spam? Please send them to the Forum Moderator along with the appropriate link for review or post it in the Universal Threadcleaner. One of the Moderators will review these for you shortly.
NO BULLYING/HARASSING
It is one thing to hold an opposing view and argue your point. It is another to intentionally harass. If you feel you’re being a victim or come across said behavior, please bring it to the Forum Moderators attention.
NO DUPLICATE TOPICS/THREADS
Please review the first few pages of the Forum to see if the topic of your choice is already in effect. Duplicate topics will be deleted.
NO T.O.S. VIOLATIONS
Not familiar with our Terms of Service? Please review them here .
NO SPAMMING
We have a ZERO tolerance policy regarding Spam. Examples include:
• Anything commercial
• Repeated posting of deleted topics/duplicate topic
• Irrelevant/Inappropriate posts
Chances are if it’s questionable, don’t do it. When all else fails, or you’re not sure, just ask the Forum Moderator.
NO POINTLESS THREADWASTING
Stick to the topic at hand. Our forums are for discussion, not attention seekers. Posts containing “add me”, “check out my new pics”, “leave me a comment” or “Angie craves sweet potato fries!” will be deleted. Any topic considered to be a thread waster will be deleted at the Forum Moderator’s discretion.
NO EXCESSIVE THREAD BUMPING
Please refrain from excessively ‘Bumping’ threads to put yours at top priority. This is also considered a thread waster and will result in deletion.
NO POSTING IN WRONG FORUM
Take a moment to review the current Topics in a Forum. If you have a political opinion you’d like to discuss, don't post it in Automotive – it’ll be deleted. So let’s keep it simple. Need dating advice? Go to Love & Relationships. Need work-out tips? Try Health & Fitness. Furthermore, posts unrelated to their topic or topics unrelated to their parent forum are subject to deletion at the Moderator’s discretion.
NO CROSS-POSTING THE SAME TOPIC
Do not post the same topic in more than one forum. This is treated as spam. See our Spam policy above.
NO TROLLING
A troll is someone who posts disruptive messages in a Forum with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional and/or argumentative interaction. We understand topics can be controversial and we encourage discussion of this nature. However, engaging users in an unproductive debate is considered trolling and is a bannable offense in ANY MySpace Forum.
Please Note:
• Regs are not exempt from being banned.
• Being banned prevents access to ALL MySpace Forums, so think twice before you post
NO INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT

• Nudity
• Graphic images (Violence, Gore, etc)
• Inappropriate pictures of minors

• Spamming
• Posting referral/affiliate links
• Posts containing racism, homophobia, bigotry, or hatred
• Posting personal information that could pose a privacy/security risk [yours or that of another user]
• Posting videos on autoplay
• Impersonating or attempting to impersonate another user, moderator or admin

Flaming/Flamebaiting is not tolerated here. Posts that taunt or are otherwise inflammatory will be removed.
MUSIC/FILM/COMPUTER FORUMS
