The Lakers Topbuzz managment would like to first of all thank all of you for being a part this growing Lakers fan community. In order to keep up the quality of the forum, please be sure to follow the following guidelines. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
General Guidelines:
1) This is a discussion forum and not everyone is going to agree. But do not resort to insulting other fellow members or launch any sort of personal attack.
2) Use good grammar/spelling and don't use ALL-CAPS (it makes it "sound" like you're yelling).
3) Before you post a new topic, be sure that the same topic hasn't already been posted. Use the "Search" function in the forum if needed. When there are too many different topics that are essentially the same topic it makes the forum messy. There are exceptions though and it's okay to post a similar topic if it involves some sort of late-breaking news/rumors. However once that's posted it's not okay to post ANOTHER topic regarding the SAME news/event.
4) Post in the proper Forum. E.g. please do not post a topic called "My Favorite Laker Players of All Time" in the Laker Rumors forum.
5) Use a descriptive topic name when creating new topics. Don't create topics with names such as "Hey", "What do you think" or "Check this out".
6) Feel free to give a positive reputation vote to another member whom you think have made a great post. You can do so by clicking on the little +/- icon which is located above the user's online status. Please do not solicit votes, however. Also please do not give negative votes unless you think it's absolutely necessary.
7) If you're an experienced user and see a newbie not following these guidelines, please help out by referring them to this post.
8) For forum avatars, anything over 200 pixels wide is too wide, and anything over 400 pixels tall is too long. For signature images 400 pixels by 300 pixels is the maximum acceptable dimension. How can you tell what the dimensions are? If you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox you can simply right-click on an image, then select Properties and it will tell you its width and height.
9) Most of all- have fun! This is a Laker Message Board where you can talk about the Lakers with hundreds of fellow fans. How great is that?!
Actions that WILL get a user banned:
1) Personal attack and/or threatening another member with violence anywhere on the site, including via PM (Private Messages). We all disagree at one point or another, but please do not resort to silly personal attacks and name-calling. It doesn't really matter who started the attack- if you attack back you're just as guilty. Instead of attacking back please send notification noting the offensive post(s) / messages.
2) Creating a user name or using avatars or linking to images that are rude/vulgar/sexually explicit.
3) Creating a user name with the purpose of impersonating/offending an existing user.
4) Using racist/sexist/homophobic/religion-attacking word(s) in posts.
5) Attempting to circumvent quality control systems such as the Reputation System. For instance creating another username and voting for yourself is strictly prohibited. Also giving negative votes to other members for no reason is prohibited.
6) Posting unsolicited commercial advertisements.
7) Posting any sort of discussions of any form of illegal activity such as music or software piracy.
8) Repeatedly creating new topics when a same/similar topic has already been posted the same day.
9) Repeatedly posting duplicate messages in article comments and in forum posts.
10) Posting any message promoting any particular religion or religious organization. While Lakers Topbuzz has the utmost respect for all religions please keep in mind that this is a basketball site and not a site to be used to spread any particular faith.
11) Implying physical violence to *anyone*, including NBA Players and members of the site.
Also please note that Lakers Topbuzz management reserves the right to change or delete any post, member name, signature file, pictures or related content in the forums at any time, without notification.
Should a violation of the rules result in a user being banned, any new accounts created by the user will also be banned.
Thanks all!
Dave |
