After seeing how things have evolved, I decided that a modification of this post is required.
It should be apparent to any reasonable person that there are certain subjects that can raise peoples blood pressure. I believe the point has been made that respect and gentlemanly conduct is expected in the HI areas of Bladeforums. This is not the place for bashing for bashing's sake, flame wars or any other tripe.
No Racism, Nationalism, Sexism or any other 'ism - Nobody wants to know what you think of the Chinese, French, whites, blacks, women, men, Catholics, sheepherders or any other particular group. Per the forum owner, Sparks, this is a ban offense.
Defend your position - If you post an article or make a statement, back it up with some commentary on what brought you to that. Clip and pastes will be locked and you will receive infraction points that build toward a ban.
Use your ignore list - It's there for a reason.
Watch your language - The Himalayan Imports forums are family forums based in beliefs that what is holy exists in each of us and should be respected. Use of any of the Seven words made famous by George Carlin will result in an automatic ban. Minor cussing will receive infraction points that build toward a ban. Some may believe that vulgar or coarse language aside from the 7 deadly words should be allowed...and they are, elsewhere in Bladeforums and across the internet. Use of such language will result in two things. First, the offending word will be edited out. Second, an infraction for inappropriate language will be assigned. If you manage to do it 50 times, your account will be banned by the system. If you would like to know if a particular word is vulgar, you can either PM me (I am not going to publish a list of words not to use here since I would then be in violation myself) or simply use other words of your own choice.
Some folks have taken great pride in saying that this is a special place on the internet, where people from very different backgrounds and circumstances can exchange ideas, cares and knives and find caring and supporting people who seem to live by a higher standard. I am only asking that we continue that...to be the place you have all said you wanted.
Total number of rules:2
1. Act like a gentleman or lady.
2. No Spam
That's all...
