Inside The Shop

Inside The Shop is a place for a person of any user level, to express an opinion, and get civil and straightforward comments and/or answers. Unfortunately, there are some users that ruin the overall experience for other members in the forums. Below are the simple rules that members are required to follow in order to provide for everyone's enjoyment of the Inside The Shop Forums.

Offensive Material
Do not post anything you would not want a young child to see, or which you would not be comfortable viewing at work. If you see such material on the forums, DO NOT REPLY TO IT.

Abusive Content
The moderator staff will not tolerate flaming, childish name-calling or other types of personal attacks on the forum. All members, as adults, are expected to be able to have civil discussions at all times, regardless of whether they agree or not. In the event a moderator steps into a thread to stop flaming, all members are expected to stop. Harrassment is not allowed on the boards. Harassment can constitute any direct threat on a member, posting personal info about a member, posting any pictures of a member, etc. We don't care if a user's personal info can be found out through some other medium or another website. It will NOT be posted here. Stay out of people's personal lives. Any personal grudges against any other member are to be left at the door. Any conflict from outside of this forum which is brought into the forums will be handled swiftly.

Image / File Rules
No illegal images are allowed. No images showing an illegal actvity are allowed. No porn. The above rule applies: If it is not work-safe, don't post it.

Signatures
Signatures must be kept clean and of reasonable size. Any signature which contains anything potentially offensive or which detracts from the quality of the forum will be edited by the moderating staff. We will make all effort to notify you via PM if we edit your signature. Sole decision on whether a signature is acceptable lies with the moderator staff.
If you restore your sig (un-do the change the moderator made) after it has been edited by a member of our staff, you will be immediately banned.

Conclusion
If you do not agree to these rules, you're free to no longer visit the Inside The Shop forums. If you do not like these rules, please do not register an account; it will be better for all parties involved. Remember: these are private forums and, by signing up, you agree to abide by these rules. We reserve the right to ban any user on our forums. That said, the entire point of these rules is to help provide a good, informative atmosphere for all members. We're not here to be drill sargeants or get off on an ego trip. Our mods have one job and that is to keep the peace.

Although the administrators and moderators will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and Inside The Shop will not be held responsible for the content of any message.
