Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Angry Extreme Rant and I do mean EXTREME

****ATTENTION*****

This rant is not for the faint hearted lots of slurs and swearing is in this rant and goes off balance alot. So please bear with me. Kids under 17 do not read w/out a parents concent.

*********BE FORE WARNED*************


==========BEGIN a severe topic shifting rant=============


I'm a consumer in the mental health system. I make $566.00 USD/mo. I maintain an average balance of a *****00 USD in my account. So it is safe to say I won't be buying(can not afford them) CD's or Movies from any of the member companies of the RIAA or the MPAA or any of the software companies. Now when I was working I bought literally(probably) over $10,000 USD in Movies and Music. Now these fat pig *** mobbed up bastered's wan't to sue us? Us. The consumer of their product. The people who have paid over inflated prices for years. I think I paid into their over inflated system for years. Now that I can no longer go to work I get my stuff of of p2p. And i'm not the only one. Lot's of people on a fixed income cannot afford to buy CD's at $20/ea. USD. And i'd say that this makes up a better part of the population who are in the same predicament that i'm in. Even a good portion of the working public can not afford to buy music and movies because they have other obligations, like Rent*********, Utility bills, car payments, child support, ever increasing taxes. Hmmmmmmmmm Could this be the cause of declining CD sales and not piracy. should the arts and entertainment be only available to the rich. I don't know. I'll leave that up to the experts to answer. But i have been reading and keeping tabs on the war between the RIAA/MPAA (mostly RIAA) and P2P. I mean suing 12yr olds and taking all their savings. suing 80yr old men. WTF is wrong with these people. why doesn't the Taliban drop a nuke right into the California fault line and sink all those RIAA/MPAA *******s into the water and see if rats can swim(probably get a call from the FBI for that statement). America has sold it's sole to corporate fat cats and political correctness. Tell you what if p2p comes to an end we'll see Blank CDr sales and broadband sub's drop like a rock from the sky. I don't share RIAA music but I do download/share software/movies. mostly sci-fi. But come to a close what are they going to do. Everything I own is in a trust fund/hiership. So what are those *******s going to do take the dollar in my acount(probably, knowing them). Some one who sues a 12yr old girl for DL'ing nursery rimes HAS NO SCRUPALS. Guess all they care about is their turf wars where innocent bystanders get killed in the cross fire and "shoving that white powder up their nose or thru their veins, it is definately killing their brains"(Oh my god the music police are going to get me now) I thank you guys for the forum space I needed to get this off my chest as I was starting to get sick from reading about what amounts to a holocaust where P2P are the jews and RIAA/US Government is Hitler. For the first time I am ashamed to be associated with this country. The Citizens of the US are not the infadel. The politions and Corporate Megolopolies are.



================END RANT=======================


Wheeeeeeewwwwwww. Glad to get this off my chest. this anger towards the RIAA/MPAA/USG has been building up for months.
