Please read these rules and guidelines before posting/using the forums. Please PM an administrator if you have any questions. These rules are subject to change.
1) Swearing and Profanity are allowed to a certain extent, although this is a family oriented site and abuse will not be tolerated. There is a filter in place as well to help control the harsh words. Basically if its too bad to be said, the swear filter will *bleep* it. F-Bombs and some of the more extreme words used in succession may cause a short suspension. If you feel a post is inappropriate, please report it by clicking on the "Report to Mod" link that is available at the bottom right of every post.
2) Absolutely no nude photos of any kind. There will be people under the age of 18 and this will not be tolerated. Proboards TOS also forbids these pictures. Pictures that are distasteful will be removed at the discretion of any moderator that views your post. You are responsible for the content on sites that you post a link to. If you post a link to a site that has obscene content, then it is treated as if you posted it directly on the site.
3) No referrals or self-promotion of any kind are allowed on the forum unless specifically approved by an admin or mod in advance. This includes posting referral or affiliate links, or asking members to sign up under you for something. No plugs for blogs and/or any other websites; if you would like to cross-promote, please contact us. Personal webpages with a want list are ok (no commercial webpages/links; ie. any webpages that sell, have ads, etc..)
4) Any member trying to accumulate or collect email addresses for their own bulk email purposes will be banned. This includes any creative attempt or act promoted as something positive on the message boards.
5) Do not solicit other members via PM. If you receive such a PM from another member, please forward it to an admin or mod immediately.
6) To keep the forum organized and easier to read and search, please post in the appropriate forum. Also, please post a title that is appropriate AND informative for your post. When starting a new thread, edit/update the original post if appropriate. This is another guideline to help keep the forum organized and easier to read and search (after all, many members are here to find information and we want to make the information easy to find). This applies anywhere in the forum, but probably mostly in the Box/Case Breaks section and in the B/S/T section. For example, if you sell a product or change the price, update the original post so others don't have to scroll through pages of posts to find out the most current info.
7) Avoid reposting topics that have been discussed before. If you are not sure, perform a search before opening a new thread. If it has been posted about before and you have more to add, feel free to bring the topic to the top by posting in it again. If you are unsure about how to search the forums, please see click the “help” button.
8) If you are hardon't cussed or threatened by another member, please PM one of the admins or mods.
9) You shall not engage in antisocial, disruptive, or destructive acts, including "flaming," "spamming," "flooding," and "trolling," as those terms are commonly understood and used on the Internet. This includes "staged" fights, attacks, or trolling that has been prearranged.
10) Do not post your e-mail address on the forum. There is no legitimate reason for you to need to do so. Use the PM (private message) system that is provided.
11) You shall not post any personal information of any other member or non-member. This includes phone numbers, addresses, and Private Messages.
12) Signatures and avatars posted by users are editable by the moderation staff at their discretion. Please use restraint if you think an avatar or signature may be offensive to others. If you think it may cause conflict with others, it doesn't need to be used. Also note that you cannot use your avatar or signature to mock the administration staff of this website. An explanation will be provided when applicable for changes made to avatars/signatures that are deemed inappropriate for the site. File size should be considered when picking an avatar. Large animated gif images are too large, and take too long to download.
13) We reserve the right to remove any content posted on our site at any time for any reason. Decisions as to whether content violates any house rules/TOS will be made by GPKforums.com in its discretion after we have actual notice of such posting. We also reserve the right to remove postings that do not pertain to the designated topic or theme of the Forum; in many cases, such posts will simply be moved to the appropriate forum.
We also reserve the right to comply with any order or otherwise cooperate with law enforcement officials regarding the identification of any user alleged to be using GPKforums.com in violation of the law.
If you do not agree to these terms, simply do not use this website.
14) Do not create additional accounts. Additional accounts will be deleted or banned along with the original account.
15) No gambling allowed. Use your better judgment in general...we can't list everything but anything illegal is obvious and implied.
16) For Buy/Sell/Trade rules, please read the rules in their respective forums.
17) If you have any question regarding the rules or any application thereof, please PM one of the admins or mods regarding the matter.
