The Buck Rub Rules

Any offensive or insulting posts will be removed, users warned and possibly banned, as deemed necessary by the TBR Staff.
4. No spamming. Period.
5. No linking or posting of any material that is pornographic, obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
6. No flaming, or bombing forums or threads with pointless posts.
7. No swearing - refrain from using excessive profanity damnit. `Light’ swearing allowed but remember, there are some folks that don’t care for it. Absolutely no swear words in thread titles. Remember there are minors here also.
8. No shouting (CAPS Off) - It’s rude and annoying.
9. No cross-posting (posting the same message in multiple forums).
10. Each TBR Forum member is limited to one account/alias, unless otherwise authorized by a TBR staff member. Do not impersonate other individuals or falsely represent yourself. Anonymous proxy abuse will not be tolerated.
11. Do not post personal information (i.e. addresses, phone numbers, IPs, passwords, PINs, or any other information considered private) without the express permission of the individual.
12. Respect - members, moderators and administrators, as well as their opinions should be treated with respect.
13. Observe all copyright laws when posting. If the material belongs to someone else, credit the original author. Do not post material where you do not have permission to distribute it electronically or otherwise.
14. No advertising, buying, selling, or trading anywhere with the exception of the "Trade Blanket" section. The Trade Blanket forum is only intended for personal use of participating members. Any unsolicited commercial content will be removed (and related accounts banned) at our sole discretion. TBR is not responsible for any loss due to any transaction in the Trade Blanket forum.

17. No Religious fanatisism, or preaching of your religious beliefs will be tolerated. Religious discussion is only allowed if determined that its purpose is discussion, as opposed to judging or converting others to your beliefs. Extensive religious commentary or attempts to preach or solicit members for a particular church or faith is not allowed. Treat others' beliefs with respect. Religion is welcome, we just don't want to have anyone preaching at people.
