First and foremost, this is your forum. While there will be some moderation applied to ensure it remains a respectable forum, it is what you make of it. However, we ask that you consider the following:
1. Treat other members with respect. Differences of opinion make for lively discussion, but personal attacks will not be tolerated.
2. Squabbles between members can be very disruptive to the community. Personal disputes should be resolved off the board, by private messaging or email. If the problem can't be resolved between yourselves, your options are to ignore the other person or leave the forum.
3. Don't post libelous or copyrighted material. It is permissible to post a few lines of an online article, with a link to the full article.
4. Members who join the board with the sole purpose of baiting other members or "stirring the pot" will be banned.
5. Multiple accounts are not allowed. Duplicate accounts will be deleted without notice. If for some reason you wish to change your user name, contact an administrator and he/she will be happy to do that for you.
6. Please try to stay on topic, within reason. We're pretty relaxed about the flow of discussion, but it can be frustrating having to wade through five pages of off-topic chat if you're looking for news about a specific subject. There's a "General Paranormal Discussion" for everyday paranormal chit-chat, or you're welcome to start a new thread in the "Off-Topic" section.
7. Leave the modding to the mods. Please don't tell other members what they may or may not post. If you have an issue with a particular post, contact a mod.
Mods reserve the right to enforce the guidelines at any time. This might include refereeing a discussion, editing a post, requesting that a dialogue return to topic, etc.
