Do's & Don'ts

This is your community. It is for you to enjoy, 24/7. But, like any good community, there are a few rules of the road you should follow to make things enjoyable and safe for everyone.

When you register, you will need to make sure you read and agree to an agreement that legally binds you into acting nice. Really, there is nothing in the agreement that you wouldn't think of as common sense, but you should read it carefully anyway. I have tried to make it as free from legalese as possible, but if you have any questions or comments, please get in touch with me.

Make a special note that spam is not, and never will be, tolerated. Ever. You spam, you will be permanently banned. No apeal...no second chances.

Below is a copy of the entire agreement, for your covenience:
