Forum Administration
The Forum Guest Spots, organizational format and discussion boards are managed on a day to day basis by the Administrators and/or Co-Administrators with additional support from an experienced team of excellent moderators. We are all part time volunteers.
This board shall be used for intelligent discussion of the topic presented. If you don't have something valuable to add to the topic, don't post. There is no need to post anything like "Thanks for the ideas" as it does not add to the discussion.
• All discussions must remain 100% on topic. If you go off topic, you will receive a warning. Any other discussion belongs in PMs!
• We recommend that your post should be at least two sentences long. Anything less shows that not enough thought was taken in the post, and is most likely not productive towards the conversation.

Posting Rules/Guidelines
Every member is expected to follow good standard morals and ethics, follow the laws of their state and Federal Government, and contribute something positive.
Unless there is a specific Sub-Forum with lax rules or no censorship, all the rules are to be followed and will be enforced.
1. Be respectful of other members at all times.
The purpose of the forum is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas, information and media links. Occasionally, there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Be courteous when disagreeing with others. It is possible to disagree without being insulting. Don’t call anyone an idiot or liar, unless it’s been proven or you have a link to the accusation. Remember if a person is not a public figure, then you are under the same slander laws as everyone in the US.
2. Avoid using profanity on this Forum.
Using partial masking (such as asterisks or punctuation marks) to bypass the profanity filter not advised and may result in the same action as if the actual word had been typed.
Let’s us be BLUNT about this. In other words you cannot use any offensive racist, sexist, or bigoted terms. We hate to have to give examples but some people will not get it if we don’t.
A. EXAMPLE – Racist: No ******, no nigga, no coon, no indirect insults like jungle bunny. We don’t care if two people are of the same race and are used to calling their brothers or homies offensive terms, it WILL NOT BE TOLERATED and you can easily lose your membership over this type infraction.
B. EXAMPLE – Sexist: Just because you hear bitch, be-atch. And whore on TV or the words cunt and slut in the movies, these type terms WILL NOT BE TOLERATED and you can easily Lose your membership over this type infraction. Also NO R or X rated media or pictures of males or females will be tolerated.
C. EXAMPLE – Bigotry: No Jew kyke, kike, or sand******, or towel head, or such and WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
3. Personal attacks against members are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts which are designed to personally berate or insult another member. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

This behavior includes false accusations, monitoring, the transmission of threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, and gathering information for harassment purposes. The harassment must be such that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress. Threats of any kind will result in loss of membership and may be reported.

If you have questions regarding a post or thread, please contact an administrator.
13. The Alienscientist.Proboards.com Forum is privately owned and run by volunteers. Membership and posting of messages are not constitutional rights, they are privileges which may be withdrawn by the owners at their discretion.
We cannot afford to constantly monitor every action carried out by our members. Therefore, members who require excessive monitoring by staff may have their membership suspended or revoked.
NOTIFICATION
If the content of a post is deemed not to comply with the rules above, the post may be edited or removed by a staff member. Depending on the content of the post, appropriate action may be taken concerning the poster's account, which can include a warning, a temporary suspension, or a loss of membership.
Posters who are disruptive will have their account temporarily suspended and a moderator note will be sent to inform them of the length of time of their suspension. Typically three to seven days. The term "disruptive" will be defined by the moderators and administrators on a case by case basis. In some instances, posters may be subject to a loss of membership suspension. We hope you will never need to concern yourself with that.

Disputes which cannot be resolved between forum users and moderators may be arbitrated by the forum administrators.
Your first recourse is to send a PM to a moderator or other staff member.
Or, to discuss problems or concerns, please send an e-mail to: E-Mail Address to be determined.
