Site RULES!!! You MUST READ BEFORE POSTING

[Ski-Whiz]

Ok, we are pretty laid back here @ DaBearz!
There are HOWEVER a few rules people should follow. The rules are simple and follow basic common respect.

1) No spamming. We just can't have it. This includes "trolling". If it's crap, don't post it! If you post something for the specific reason of starting a heated debate, this is spamming/trolling.

2) No advertising for other sites. We have a link section, and will be happy to post a link there, in a "link exchange". It's no big deal, just don't want advertising in here. BEFORE A SITE CAN BE NAMED OR URL POSTED, IT MUST BE APPROVED BY AN ADMIN!

3) No hardcore pornographic photos anywhere! There is a section for adult material. If you would like to access this area, there is an announcement that states how you can go about access. There is to be NO nudity in the open part of the site. All adult material shall be in the EAYOR section, this includes avatars, and sigs. Again, No nudity in the common areas.

4) Be respectful to fellow Bears members. Now, we understand there will be disagreements, DO NOT "attack" anyone verbally. This just brings down the place, and shy's people away. So if you MUST debate, attack the words not the person. This includes personal information that is posted!

5) Baiting-A technique used to lure other members to attack or get into a flame war. In other words "Stirring up trouble". This is not allowed here. Infractions will be given. Please refrain from using baiting others. If there is a member you don't like, put them on your ignore list.

6) Profanity, there are a few words, I just don't want displayed, the board should pick them up. They are the F word, and the P word. I mean we are all adults. Otherwise, please try not to use it. Will you be banned if you do, no, but excessive use will attract our attention.

7) If you don't like what you see, simply go to your User CP and disable it. You as a member can pretty much shut off all the avatars and sigs. You are in control. Feel free to use the IGNORE feature too!!

8) Only one (1) username per person. We check to make sure people don't have more than 1 account. Anyone with more than one account will only have the account with the most posts (the others will be removed).

9) All and ANY Political/Religious/Heated threads will be closed without warning. There are other places to discuss this, and DaBearz.com has prided itself in keeping cyber "fights" off the site.

Those are the rules in a nutshell. We want every fan to have fun, but remember that other fans may shy away with profanity, and kiddie play.
