[color=00ee33]I am sick and tired of the flames and foul language that I have seen in this section. Let me give you a reminder of some of our rules:
Posts and threads that are solely for the sake of being confrontational are included. Flamebaiting is included. Your posts should display mutual respect and should be rational. Warmongering is included. Thumping your chest and demanding explanations here and defenses there is warmongering.
Trying to avoid the swear filter is included. If you see *'s inserted in your post after you're done, it means that you've broken the rule. You'd be best to go back and revise your post with tasteful language at that point.
Rememer that the ocforums are to be a G-rated forums.
I suggest you all do some reading here:

I have been lenient in the past few weeks. I have tried to maintain a presence and to lead by example and remind when necessary when the rules have been breached. Some have shown improvement, and I thank those who have take the time and shown the effort. Others have not, and this thread is especially intended for those.
I am no longer going to be lenient. Any transgression of the rules will be treated with a formal warning, 3-day vacation, or perma-ban as the case may necessiate. If, when posting, you are unsure as to whether your post may violate the rules, it means it probably will.
Consider this the last informal warning to everyone. -- macklin01[/color]
1. Absolutely NO personal attacks will be tolerated, no exceptions!
Posts and threads that are solely for the sake of being confrontational are included. Flamebaiting is included. Your posts should display mutual respect and should be rational. Warmongering is included. Thumping your chest and demanding explanations here and defenses there is warmongering.
2. No hard language is permitted. If you feel you absolutely must swear the use of Stars (*) can convey your feeling with out endangering your place in our forums. Saying "S***!" is allowed. Saying "YOU S*** is never allowed, ever!!
