Please Read This Thread First - FAQs About Posting - Site Guidelines

[Dio]

Welcome to the site - we're pretty free about what goes on here, but we do have a few expectations about what sort of behaviour we expect from users, especially when it comes to posting things like affiliate links and adverts for other sites.

Adverts And Promotions For Other Bingo Sites

Adverts for other sites and information on their promotions and special offers are fine - but, and it's a big but, they are only welcome after you've made an effort to join in the forum first.

Participating in the forum does not mean adding one or two word replies and similar. It means you should introduce yourself first, answer a few threads or start some yourself. Then you're welcome to add offers, promotions, links, etc.

Please note, there is a 15 post rule in place before links are allowed. Also, all external links in posts and signatures are Nofollowed by default. Signatures will be hidden if the admin believes signature links are being abused to circumvent the 15 post rule for links. If in time you make lots of posts and have had your signature banned, it will be reinstated by contacting the admin.

If you've not made an effort to do these things, your posts will be moved to the Hall Of Spammy Posts - where all links are disabled, and search engines do not tread. You can bring them out of there by making an effort doing some nice stuff around the forum first.

Affiliate Links

Previously I allowed affiliate links to be posted at the site. Due to an increasing amount of posts to do with incentive pyramid schemes and downright scams, I've have decided to revoke this right with out first contacting admin. Posting of affiliate links and offers to Bingo sites is allowed only when the poster has proved themselves as participating in the site and got permission from me first.

Any unathourised links posted to pyramid schemes, scammy sites or misleading affiliate offers will be removed and the user banned.

Posting Guidelines

We have some basic posting rules we'd ask members to adhere to and respect. Failure to do so will earn you a warning. We operate a three strikes and out policy here - 3 warnings and your membership will be cancelled for you.

1: This is forum is open to people with a range of beliefs, opinions and standpoints. That's great. That means fun and heated discussion. However, it doesn't mean you can attack others for their beliefs. Personal attacks and flaming will not be tolerated.

2: This is an English language forum. Please post in English. We'd also appreciate it if you made an effort to post good English and spelling - please try to avoid TXT style messaging.

However, if you can't, we'll try not to be too harsh as we'd rather you communicated than stayed out. Members are asked not to berate other members on grammar and spelling wherever possible.

3: Flaming. You may have gathered by now its not appreciated - so don't do it. Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one but some are more constipated than others. We all know that, but don't flame someone just because theirs differ from yours. Discuss yes, name call and be rude, no.

4: Yes this is an open forum, however, the owner will not tolerate racism and prejudice in any context. Those opinions you can keep to yourself.

5: Trolling and Spamming - not appreciated, will be dealt with.

6: Linking - Feel free to add links to other sites, content, etc. However, links to adult content out of context and without advance warning is not appreciated. Also - if you want to post images, please try to host them yourself rather than hotlinking from other sites without permission. If you can't host them, try adding them to something like ImageShack® - Image Hosting for free hosting, then hotlink from there - failing that, feel free to attach them to the post.

7: Avatars - Like many people I don't appreciate adult avatars on a forum when surfing through in an open plan office. Please keep personal avatars clean and suitable for all.

8: Any board staff are not here for your abuse, they're here because like yourself, they enjoy the site and the community.

That about covers it - if anything else comes to light, it'll be added here.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Dio.
