Furthermore, moderators treat everybody asequals and abide by all the forum rules.
Section 2: Post Content When posting in an online forum or chat, there are several things inwhich you have to pay attention to. One of the most important things iscontent. We have a very large member base so you must keep in mind thatwhat you say can/will be offensive to other members. To prevent thisfrom occurring unnecessarily, you must abide to our stricter set ofrules regarding what you post. All moderators are instructed to ensurethat these rules are maintained and will discipline any offenders. - Spamming
Spamming will ultimately get you removed from our forum. This includescontinuously inviting people to your website, posting tons of threadswithin a very short time, or just plain out flooding. Project Realitydoes not allow any unauthorised advertisment threads/posts on ourforums. Creating multiple threads on the same subject is the same asSpamming. Any type of "Free Stuff" threads will result in a warning andif multiple threads are posted within a certain time frame you will bebanned. If an account is created and used to automatically spamadvertisments of any kind, it will be perm banned immediatley withoutany kind of warning. ISPs will be contacted and written complaints madeto the relevent legal authorities.

- Tolerance
Racist, sexist, homophobic, or religious insults are the quickest way to get you banned from the forum.

If you would not show your boss the image, it shouldn’t be onthese forums. Remember that Forum Moderators have the final say on whatis acceptable. Furthermore, if you are going to have quite a number ofscreenshots in a thread, it's generally a good idea to put a warning inthe subject line. "(Warning - big pictures!)" or use thumbnail images.You should re-size these images to 800x600 res maximum, alternativleyattach them to your post.

- Subject Lines
Make your subject lines descriptive. Subject lines such as "Check thisout!" or "This is so cool!" or "I can't believe this!" are notdescriptive, and result in multiple postings on the same subject.Before posting, you might want to look through the current page ofposts to see that someone has not already posted on the same subject.Failure to describe your thread or link within a thread will result init being locked and possibly removed.
- Tone
The tone of your post is very important. Always bear this in mind.Everyone has a different outlook, opinion and perception about what aperson says and how they say it. It is a good idea to make use of the'preview' option and review what you have typed, and how you have putit across. It's also a good idea not to post if you are angry aboutanother user's views. Calm down and think your reply through.
