As a member of this community, it is understood that you have read and agreed to these rules. Please remember that these are put in place to help keep the 57th AHC Forum enjoyable for all members.


1. Topics to Avoid

Politics, Religion and Drugs are off limits. These topics will be deleted immediately, and the author warned. Please abide by this. People tend to have strong feelings about these topics, and they often lead to flame wars.


2. Content/Pictures

Nude pictures, pornography, or links to like material are NOT ALLOWED. There are plenty of places to go to find this stuff on the internet, this is not one of them. Please keep all pictures posted within these limits. Any graphic content or offensive material is NOT ALLOWED. Please use good judgment on this. If you post something that the staff feels is violating this rule, the post will be removed and you will be issued a warning.


3. Posting Links

Before posting a link be sure you are not sharing links that may contain a key logger or any type of virus, or posting a link that will ask for personal information. We want all members to be safe.


4. Illegal Discussions/Downloads

No links to illegal downloads or copyrighted materials are permitted. This includes, movies, books, software,etc. Do not attempt to sell these products or post links to where this can be done. This will result in a ban. Do not post about any kind of illegal activities.


5. Advertising/Soliciting

Promoting or soliciting of a for profit product may be allowed on a case by case basis. Please talk to a staff member before posting any advertisement.


6. Flaming

Flaming is considered anything that is said or done to insult another member. All members are to be treated fairly. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. If there is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, please talk to a moderator. If you are caught flaming, then you will get an immediate warning, if flaming is directed toward a staff member you may be banned. Attempting to start "drama" will not be tolerated.


7. SHOUTING/Spam

Posting in all CAPITAL LETTERS is considered SHOUTING, and it is possible your post will be deleted or at the very least ignored by members. Keep Spam to a minimum. Spam includes posts such as "ok" and "lol". To not be considered spam, your post must be longer than 5 characters. Flooding members PM boxes with spam is also not tolerated.


8. Similar Threads/Proper Forum

Before creating a new topic/thread, search the forum to see if a similar topic already exists. Please attempt to make your posts in the appropriate forum. If we find that you are constantly posting/replying in the wrong forum, you will receive a warning. Keep your post/replies on topic when posting. Do not HIJACK someone else's thread for your idea.


9. Private Conversations are to be kept Private

Anyone posting conversations that were done via PM will be warned. These conversations are private for a reason. This can also be considered taunting by posting a conversation with the goal of starting something.


10. Impersonating/Alternate Accounts

Impersonating means posing as someone else. This is not allowed on this forum and you will be banned without prior notice.

Only one account per user is allowed. If you need to change an e-mail address, password, etc, use the User Control Panel to change your settings. IP's are provided to us once you have posted. If there is a circumstance where you think your IP may appear for different accounts, contact us immediately, so we become aware of the situation. If we discover that multiple accounts are originating from the same IP, this may result in an immediate ban... WITHOUT WARNING.


11. Treatment of Staff Members

If you have an issue with a staff member, take it to PM, but keep it respectful. You may not always agree with a decision, and that is fine. The staff has a job to do, please let them do it. Remember, we are here to help you. Disrespecting a Moderato or Admin will get you suspended or possibly banned. There is to be NO discussion on any action a Moderator or Admin takes. Members are not allowed to post messages from banned or suspended members.
