[Lance]

 FORUM RULES AND POSTING GUIDELINES - ALL MEMBERS MUST READ! (UPDATED November 13, 2008)
Before posting, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following rules and guidelines for these forums.

1) Personal attacks, "flaming", or rudeness towards another member is not allowed, and will not be tolerated. Failure to follow this rule may result in your immediate and permanent removal from the forums.

2) Please refrain from making any racist, homophobic, sexist, jingoistic or xenophobic comments. These forums are meant to be enjoyed by everyone. If this policy is a problem for you, then this is not the forum for you. Failure to follow this rule may result in your immediate and permanent removal from the forums.

3) If someone posts something that you feel is inappropriate or in any way violates the rules of this forum, do not respond to the post. Instead, report the post to a moderator.

4) Spamming and advertising are not permitted. Links to commercial web sites with which you are in any way affiliated are not permitted in posts, profiles or signatures. Links to 100% non-commercial sites are allowed in signatures. If your site has any kind of ad (Google ads, banner ads, etc.) it is considered commercial and may not be linked to. Even if your site is non-commercial, you may not start a thread or post specifically to promote it. If you spam your post/signature/profile will be deleted and your account may be terminated. If you are interested in advertising on this site, then please contact us.

5) Multiple accounts are not permitted. If you have a problem with your existing account, then contact the support team. Anyone found to have more than one account will have all accounts suspended.

6) Debate is encouraged! If you disagree with something you've read, then please post your opinion, keeping the above rules in mind, of course.

7) The moderators' decisions and disciplinary posts are not subject to public debate. If you have a question or an issue with something I or another moderator has done, then take it up with us via PM.

Cool What you write is a reflection of your level of respect for this forum and its members. Take the time to construct well-written, clear and sincere posts and more people will take the time to help you. Posts comprised primarily of street slang, Internet slang, abbreviations and misspelled words are obnoxious and hard to understand. Such posts are not welcome here. Members who can not conduct themselves as adults will be removed without warning.
