Welcome to ATL FOREVER MESSAGE BOARD
Your usage of this board acknowledges your agreement to our terms as well as your willingness to follow these rules.
This forum was created so that ATL Fans could talk about the group, share opinions and hopefully, at the same time have fun and create lasting friendships.
We want to make everyone feel welcomed; therefore we have put together some guidelines for members to follow. The administrator and moderators of this messageboard may edit, move, remove or close any posts or threads they feel do not follow the guidelines. Please remember that the administrator and moderators are only human and have lives outside the forum. We will moderate this forum to the best of our ability.
There is a link in every post labeled "Report this post to a moderator". Use it if you believe someone's post violates the forum rules, but please use it only when absolutely necessary. Any off topic post, which may divert the topic in discussion, will be deleted.
Remember: Just because someone doesn't think like you, doesn't mean they are bad. Please respect each other, even in disagreements. When posting in the forum keep the following in mind:
1. Do not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, or threatening. Posting which result in disruption of the forum will be banned without any notice. Please use good judgment when choosing your user name, title, signature and avatar. Do not post racist, sexist, homophobic, ethnic, hate speech, or religious slurs.
2. Personal attacks or insults to others will not be tolerated. Name-calling is for children. Unless you are under the age of 5, name-calling will also not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Any member who threatens anyone on the forum, via posts or PM, will be dealt with immediately at the discretion of the Administrator or moderators. Continued disruptive behaviour or excessive abusive behaviour will NOT be tolerated. No excessive swearing. Avoid using bad/offensive language. Mild cursing may possibly be tolerated in moderation but be careful of your tone, especially against fellow posters.
3. Do not post the same topic in more than one forum. Pick the most relevant forum for your post. If you are unsure, put it in the General Discussions forum, say you were not sure where it belonged, and someone will move it to the proper forum for you.
4. Do not post copyrighted articles from elsewhere on the Internet; post a link to the article instead. Not only is this a violation of copyright laws, it also takes up valuable space on the board. We understand that there are some sites that allow people to repost articles, but please keep in mind the "space" it requires when posting long articles. Links are just a click away.
5. NO OFFENSIVE CONTENT:
This includes, but is not limited to:
Gore and excessive violence.
Pornography and strongly sexually suggestive material.
Other material generally considered rude, vulgar or cras2.
Links to gratuitous examples of the above is prohibited
6. Register using only one user name. If it is found that a member has registered more than one name, all names will be deleted and possibly their IP will be banned.
NO MEMBER IMPERSONATION:
Do not create a username on the board impersonating, offending, or extremely similar to an existing board member's username. i.e this includes any member of the group ATL, L-Rock, Tre, Danger, Will, Trust me we will find out if you are faking or not!
7. Links to other sites are permitted, but please do not post links that lead to sexually oriented material.
------------------------------------------
BANNING
