What Is (and IS NOT) Appropriate On This Site…. PLEASE READ


I want to make a quick post about what IS and IS NOT appropriate on this site. Please read this and let me know if you have any questions.

Let me preface this by saying that I believe I am fairly lenient on some rules. I have language filters in place on this site yet people often get around this by using creative lettering. For the most part I don’t say anything and don’t think much of it. I also do not allow people to discuss topics that are political in nature yet if it’s relevant to the topic of this site we even let that slide from time to time.
I believe I am more than fair and I would love to hear if I am not so.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I WILL NOT BUDGE ON!

Any content, picture, media, or whatever that is sexual in nature will not be allowed on this site EVER.
Also, any attacks on a person, a persons character and/or slander will be deleted as well.
People who violate these rules will have their accounts banned.

Recently we have had a few posts that have crossed over these lines and it will not be tolerated. Also, really abusive cursing will also be address.
On a side note let me just warn some of you that insist on slandering people that the same laws that protect people off line apply online as well. YOU CAN BE SUED FOR SLANDER ONLINE.

Thanks for your time and I really hope you understand what I am saying here and why I am saying it. If not feel free to ask me any questions that you may have either by posting in this thread or contacting me via PM.

Thanks,

I agree with Nick.

Far to many of the buying public think of us as low lives. It's a shame how many tradesmen and contractors appear only to eager to prove them right.

Re: What Is (and IS NOT) Appropriate On This Site…. PLEASE READ


commen sense should dictate, and not just here, but in the workplace and in the public anywhere. Swearing, slandering and thievery....none of the things mom would have been prould of had the cops come knocking on her door. My mom is gone now, but I still try to live by what she taught me. I cant imagine my shame if someone knocked on her door and said I had been talking bad, lying, or stealing!
And for those of us who have kids, we have to remember we are ALWAYS

I'll be the first to admit I curse like a sailor.

I don't ever intend to offend. I apologize if I have ever said anything inappropriate.
