The forum will not tolerate spamming, trolling, and flaming. All three are explained below.

Spamming is repeatedly posting the same link, or message on multiple boards, or trying to get people to go to another site to buy something.

Trolling is going onto a board for the sole purpose of starting trouble or instigating an argument.

Flaming is going onto a board and insulting people because of their beliefs, sexual preference, gender, ethnicity or any number of things.
