General Board Rules and Guidelines
Last Updated: 4/12/07
- First offense - you will be issued a verbal warning.
Second offense - your account will be warned.
Third offense - your account will be warned and your posting privileges will be suspended for three days.
Fourth offense - your account will be warned and your posting privileges will be suspended for two weeks.
Fifth offense - you will be banned from SON.
1. The flaming of members or staff at SON is not allowed. Flaming is completely unacceptable and will be dealt with immediately. No matter what that person has said to you, there is no reason for you to go off on him or her. If you have a problem with something posted, use the Report to moderator feature.
The "calling out" of members is not allowed. If you have a problem with a member, contact a staff member or the SON administration. Should one "call out" another SON member to bash them or to fight with them, they will be banned.
2. No trolling. A troll is someone who comes into a community and posts inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy and antagonize other members or disrupt the flow of discussion. Additionally, trolls do not contribute to the discussions at hand, and join only to link to other sites. Anyone found to be a troll will have their account deleted immediately.
3. Respect others on the board. There's no need to resort to name calling just because they may disagree with you. Should a member be found to be harassing another via board posts, PMs or e-mail sent through our boards, that person will have his/her account banned immediately.
4. The decisions made by the staff at SON are final. There are times that SON will make decisions that everyone may not agree with, but it is our job to regulate the board. If you are in disagreement with how the Soap Opera Network and its Community Forums (SON Boards) are managed, please contact the Administration via admin@sonuni.com
Posts created through the message boards relating to this topic will immediately be deleted.
5. Warnings will be removed at the discretion of the SON staff. Do not PM a staff member asking when they are going to remove your warning.
6. SON does not allow spamming. If you're going to create a thread or respond to one, make sure there is a point. Responses with only smiley's, or the simple "Lol, I agree" or "yep" is considered spamming in the main discussion areas and will result in a warning. If you'd like to get your post count up, there is a designated area for that, which is the Playing Field.
7. If you have any account problems, always an administrator before creating an additional account. Having more than one account is not allowed at SON and will result possibly all of the accounts being banned. However, it is quite reasonable that one may create an additional account due to various reasons. The best thing to do is contact a one of the Administrators to get your issue resolved as soon as possible. Members found to have more than one account will have to inform the admin of which account they intend to use.
8. Porn or general nudity of any form is not allowed on the forums. Any person found to be posting porn will be banned.

NOTES OF INTEREST
- If you violate a rule, you will receive a warning. If you continue to cause a disruption on the board, you will be banned. As an Administrator, I reserve the right to ban users whom I feel are negative influences on the board, with or without prior warning.
Think very carefully about what you post and how you behave on these boards. Membership to this forum is not a right, but a privilege.
