Forum Terms & Rules
First and foremost, we request that users of this discussion forum obey
the Golden Rule:
* Show RESPECT for this website, this discussion forum, its members,
moderators and administrators.
Follow the Golden Rule and the rest is usually self explanatory. However,
since further clarification is often necessary, here are some:
General rules
1. No profanity, vulgar language or abbreviations of said
language, inappropriate photos or videos; all of said will be deleted. If
it is questionable, then it is inappropriate. Youth are the future of our
sport, so please keep this forum appropriate for all ages. We are
grateful to now have several female members so please keep that in mind.
2. Personal attacks or vendettas will not be tolerated. If you are not
mature enough to discuss controversial topics in a respectful manner or
are oversensitive to disagreement, then avoid posting to such topics.
3. Do not use the forum for personal communication. This also causes
forum clutter. Personal messages are much more suitable for personal
communication.
4. Market place is intended for regular members to buy and sell
personal items. Please do not post links to, Ebay-type sites or list
third-party items for sale. It is not intended for commercial nor
excessive personal use. Any post appearing to be from a business, from a
member that only posts in the market place forum, or excessive posts will
be removed subject to the Moderator/Administrator’s judgment.
5. New members will not be able to utilize the market place forum
until they have been a member for 10 days and have contributed a minimum
of 10 posts.
6. Linking - Links to manufacturers and personal pages will be tolerated.
You may not link to any direct competitor of CrossbowNation.com or link to
just advertise a product or service. Furthermore, linking to or plugging
your favorite dealer is not allowed unless they take part in the Crossbow
Nation advertising program. We reserve the right to delete any link for
any reason.
7. We reserve the right to remove any topics we deem inappropriate or
disruptive to the discussion forum as a whole. Please note that from time
to time topics may be removed or threads locked for being inappropriate
even though your individual post in that topic may have been perfectly
fine. Please do not feel this reflects badly on you and do not take these
actions personally.
8. Members may not argue a Moderator/Administrator’s decisions or actions
publicly, as in the open forums. If you have a question over what is
appropriate or a complaint, direct it to a Moderator/Administrator.
9. Crossbow Nation is a privately owned and funded site; this is not a
democracy. Therefore membership is a privilege and not a right. Forum
rules are not up for debate.
10. Posting Private Messages on the Discussion Forum is not appropriate
and will result in a warning and possible ban.
11. Also, remember you will get out of this discussion forum what you put
into it. If you are always argumentative and only post to controversial
topics, don’t expect members or Moderator/Administrators to welcome you
with open arms nor be surprised when others respond back to you in the
same manner.
12. We do not allow fundraising, charity or otherwise, without prior
approval.
Please contact the Administrator for permission before posting anything to
do
with fundraising.
13. By agreeing to these rules you warrant that you will not post any
messages
that are obscene, vulgar, sexually oriented, hateful, threatening or in
violation
of any law. The owners, administrators, moderators reserve the right to
remove,
edit or close any thread for any reason.
