Boards o' Magick Rules

We strive to make our forums a place where everyone feels welcome and comfortable, and where the content presented is of a high standard. In order to do this, we have to enforce certain rules. If you read them over and try to understand why they exist, we are convinced that you will agree with the fact that they are necessary in order to keep the quality of our forums high. We also have an entertaining short Flash movie available which sums up most of the common sense regarding posting on any message board, though it was not created specifically for our own. Another highly recommended resource is the Internet Writing Guide - a 10-minute course in online writing style. Much of what is covered in the rules listed below can be learned easily by reading through that brief course.

Now, when you post in our forums, please comply with the following rules:

What happens if you break the rules?

Members failing to comply with our rules will be issued a warning, usually in the form of a note appended to their post, via a private message (PM), or e-mail. It is every member's responsibility to regularly check his or her PMs or e-mail on the record for moderator notices. If our warnings go unacknowledged, we will be forced to suspend the posting privileges of the member in question until they have taken note of our warning(s).

Repeat and deliberate infractions may constitute removal from the board. The fact is, if you choose to make this place un-enjoyable for everyone else, you will be dealt with. We do log all accesses to the forums, and we will not hesitate to contact your ISP if you abuse our site or our visitors.

To conclude...

Finally, please don't think that simply because we state our rules in advance, we are overly strict in enforcing them and that we don't tolerate mistakes newbies tend to make. Nothing could be further from the truth. Unless you really set out to break our rules on purpose, the worst thing you have to fear here is getting a warning PM from one of the moderators or administrators. In short - you don't need to be afraid to post for fear of making mistakes. We don't bite... much. ;) Thanks for reading.
