Forum Rules

Registration to this forum is free! We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below. If you agree to the terms, please check the 'I agree' checkbox and press the 'Register' button below. If you would like to cancel the registration, click here to return to the forums index.

1. Be excellent to each other.

If you strongly disagree with someone on a specific subject, start a thread in the debate forum. Do not debate them in the other forums. If you are going to participate in the debate forum, understand and abide by the rules posted there. Also understand that you likely completely disagree with your debate opponents; think more than usual while posting.

If you break the rule, you will be warned by someone. It could be a fellow forum member, a mod, a super mod, or an admin. Their warnings are equal, we are a community here.

If you break the rule again before everyone has forgotten about it, you will be asked to stay away the forums for a couple of weeks. This will come from a mod, super mod, or admin.

If you leave and come back and break it again, or if you decide to stay and just keep breaking it... then fine, one of the admins will ban you from the forums for a month.

If it happens again, they will ban you forever.

Do not take the enforcement of this rule as a statement on you as person; it is simply your communication style is not being excellent to others. If you feel there is a misunderstanding then work to clear it up. If an admin is banning you, please don't argue about it, we really don't like banning people in the first place, arguing just makes it all the worse for us.

If you can't agree to the simple rule of being excellent to each other, or if you can't agree to the guidelines and mechanisms listed above, then please do not try and be a part of tp : forums; if you are just now signing up, then please don't bother signing up, or if you are already a member on tp : forums, then let us know that you're leaving and we'll disable your account.

2. ...

There is no 2, just follow the first rule and all should be fine.
