Immediately Bannable Offenses
- Posts containing porn or obscenity, spam, flagrant use of profanity, racist remarks, or that are abusive of other members or staff.
- Posts containing illegal material, such as threats, libel/slander, etc.
- Infractions after having received a final warning already.
- No unilateral banning unless a violation is flagrant or in the list of immediately bannable offenses. Staff will discuss any situation promptly and work out what action is to be taken.
- No public airing of grievances. If you have an issue with another on the staff or a member, take it up with the staff or member privately.
- Profanity and explicit content in userids, posts, picture attachments, avatars, and signatures should be kept to a light PG level. Site censoring is enabled, but not everything will be caught and when it is it can be very distracting to readers. Do not depend on it to censor you: self-censor.
- Profanity and explicit content in member videos should similarly be kept to a minimum. Profanity leeway will be looser to allow for the occasional excited expletive, but more than a word or two will result in warning and moderation until the content is edited.
- Posting of copyrighted material without permission or beyond what is considered a fair use is not allowed.
- Posting of goods or services for sale, or of advertisements (or links to them), should only be made in a forum designated for that purpose.
- Members may post videos with incidental self-owned product, service, or brand promotion or associated team/brand promotion. Incidental meaning the promotional element of the video is little and not the obvious principle intent of the video.
- “Classifieds” forums and sub-forums are for personal sales and want-to-buys only. No direct retail new or used product sales or advertisements will be allowed.
- Creation of an account for the purpose of attempting to impersonate another person is strictly forbidden. Otherwise, account names are first come, first serve. Requests for name changes or suspicions of impersonation should be made to staff via private message.
- Topics and posts involving religion, politics, and other potentially contentious issues should be RC related and discussion must remain courteous and civil. If the topic you want to discuss is not RC related, think seriously if this is the right forum on which to bring it up. While there is not an outright ban on these kinds of topics, the staff reserve the right to lock or delete threads that generate reasonable complaints or that we believe are no longer civil or appropriate for an RC focused forum.
- In general all accounts must be personal accounts. Business, team, and organization “representative” status may be sought by contacting staff. We will only grant it after staff have verified the account holder’s identity/affiliation. If you wish to have a group account you must get approval from staff beforehand.
