1. Please be respectful towards others in the community.

a. This means no "flaming". Flaming is defined as bashing, calling out, name calling, trolling, or any other rude/unnecessary behavior. There will often be a wide range of opinions on any given topic. You are not expected to agree with every suggestion offered on the site, but you are expected to respect the opinions of other members. Intelligent, courteous discussion is welcome and encouraged; pointless bickering is not permitted. If you disagree with posted information, post your alternative suggestion and let the matter drop. Members who cannot adhere to this will be in violation of the forum rules. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to be civil, and we expect that out of each and every member of the site. If someone tries to bait you into an argument, be the bigger person and find another thread to read and/or contribute to.
b.We are all adults here. However, some members browse the forum with their children, who are of reading age. Please refrain from using profanity in your posts. Certain words will be censored.

d. Treat others how you would want to be treated.
e. Avoid references to illegal/immoral activity, hate speech, drug use, etc.
