Welcome,
We have some simple common sense rules for everyone. Please if you have any questions or concerns you can contact any mod and or admin for assistance.
1) No foul language is allowed at all. If you do use foul language you will be made aware of it by a PM and the post will either be edited or deleted. If you continue to use foul language we will have no other option then to ban your account. (Let's not go that way)
2) No personal attacks and or threats ar allowed, there is no exception to this rule!
3) Please keep the debates in the debate area, it helps to keep helpful information from becoming bogged down with unnecessary arguments.
4) No "Puppies For Sale" ads are allowed, if you are a breeder then please remain respectful of this rule. Your insight and information is valuable but this is not the place to sell your puppies. Also we do not allow the offering of a stud service.
5) No adult content is allowed, this is a family friendly sight and we want to keep it that way.
6) No threatening/bashing PM's. If you are caught doing this your PM rights will be removed.
7) No linking of images here from other websites unless it is your website. This is bandwidth theft and it is illegal.
8) No private messaging members to offer stud/bitch service. It is not allowed and your pm's will be disabled.
Thanks to all the people who helped submit these rules, if I have left anything out please let me know.
Although the administrators and moderators of BoxerTalk.org also known as ePetTalk.com Forums will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and
neither the owners of BoxerTalk.org also known as ePetTalk.com Forums or Jelsoft Enterprises Limited (developers of vBulletin) will be held responsible for the content of any message.
By clicking the Agree button at registration, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
The owners of The BoxerTalk.org also known as ePetTalk.com Forums have the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
1. Rudeness to other members and especially sponsors will not be tolerated. Difference of opinion is fine and is to be expected but out-right nasty rude exchange will not be tolerated and don't be surprized when they are promptly deleted.
2. Any post that has racial overtones will be promptly deleted and that user who made it considered for removal.
3. This is a family site. We have male and female members of all ages. I expect that your posts recognize this fact. Any post that involves sexually objectionable language or content will be deleted, and the poster will receive a strike. It is the judgment
call of the Administrators and Moderators as to what constitutes objectionable, so if you are unsure whether or not your post is appropriate for a family audience, do not post it.
4. The editors of this site may edit posts at any time
5. Any post that is intentionally made to degrade or disrupt the flow of the thread and/or posts that (in the opinion of the moderating staff) are meant to be or are malicious in content will result in a official warning. Trolls will be promptly removed.
6. Personal conflicts and grudges that have occurred among members outside of this site should stay that way. Keep it off the site. This is supposed to be a positive place for thoughts and discussions about boxers, not a soap opera.
The larger gatherings of members get, the more frequently conflicts will probably occur. Again keep it off the site,....we run a website. We are not the police and I don't have the time to investigate every case where somebody feels they got a raw deal from
somebody else.
Finally, a personal attack on anyone, by anyone else whether it be because of a grudge at an outing or over a high charged topic in the forums, will be deleted by myself or a super moderator,.... no questions asked. We don't care who you are,... moderator,
long time user, or first time poster. Private messages also fall under this rule. Private messages can be reviewed to verify what has happened.
7. Any user of these boards including moderators will be permanently banned upon receiving three warnings (strikes) as determined from the collective moderation staff.
We still maintain the right to ban anyone immediately, no questions asked, but to date have done this very sparingly and have never taken this action (without repetative rule breaking) with an established user.
