Elliot Minor Forum Rules & Regulations
Behaviour on the forum
Be courteous or kindly leave
Please
don’t talk about the bands private lives on here, including
girlfriends, family, close friends etc. Unless you have a valuable
source from the members stating that you can discuss such a topic and
you can prove you have this source i.e posting a link to it
Don’t
take things too far. Threads can and will be locked if we either feel
that the posts are going off topic or an argument of some description
is developing.
Don’t
flame or insult other members of the forum. We want this to be a happy
peaceful place. No discrimination against religious beliefs, sexuality
etc.
We can/will remove insulting posts without warning
Treat other like you wish to be treated.
Please
be careful in writing your messages, use emoticons to express your
opinion, some people may take what you say offensively resulting in the
thread being locked
Language
Please
stick to English, if not then PM each other or get each other’s msn
address. What can’t be understood will first be asked to be translated
via pm, and if the author does not comply then the post will be deleted.
Also
please stick to proper English it’s very annoying for the person
reading wHeN sOmEoNe Is TyPiNg LiKe ThIs, so please write properly. And
kindly refrain from using msn/text talk. If you do find a user using
text talk kindly tell them it’s not allowed and refer them to here, if
they continue please contact a mod.
Posting
Don’t
post random off-topic posts, this is a discussion place for Elliot
Minor it’s not to see who can get the most posts in a week.
Please
don’t post more than three times, anymore posts than this and they will
be deleted. If you find you’ve double posted by accident then edit one
of your posts.
If
you wish to post pictures please make sure they aren’t a ridiculous
size, if you feel they are too big for the page then just post the link
up. Use your common sense.
Threads should state specifically what they are about.
Do
not post any material which is false or inaccurate. Please give the
source from which you get your information. This gives the info
credibility.
Do
not post any personal information. Better safe than sorry. Any
information such as your address or phone number will be deleted if
posted
Discussion
of illegal activities such as music piracy and other intellectual
property violations are not allowed. Buy the originals, don’t download.
Check if a topic already exists before you open a new one. This goes for ALL forums. The search button is your friend. Use it.
User I.D’s
Creating
accounts in order to spam this site is NOT allowed. There have been
cases of this on the McFly forums and we don’t want it happening here.
Any such posts will be locked/deleted and the user banned without
warning.
Each member is allowed one I.D, if a user is found to have more than one they will be removed.
Forum Graphic’s
The
maximum size of avatars is 150x200 pixels. Don’t use really large
signatures, this is a discussion forum not an art forum. Keep them as
small as possible. You can put only one picture in your
signature. Work with us on this; we want to keep this forum up and
running. Incorrect avatars and signatures will be removed and the user
sent a PM.
Ranks
Newbie- 0
Bronze- 50
Silver- 100
Gold- 150
Platinum- 200
Diamond- 250
As
we get more user the post counts for the ranks will increase, so if you
are diamond rank and suddenly you’re silver it’s just because we’ve
changed the ranks. 250 posts for diamond rank when we have 500-1000
users is pretty rubbish.
O.K that’s all please take all of these rules into account before posting topics, and remember HAVE FUN!!
