3. Our forum requires that you sign up to
become a member. We do this in order to control content on the board.
4. Do your best to post your topic in the appropriate area. If you find that your post was moved, it is because we
deemed it should be in another area.
5. Do not
sign up for more than 1 user account. If you are caught using more than
one account only the oldest account will be kept, all others will be
deleted. Continuing to set up multiple accounts could lead to being
banned.
6. All questions concerning ULF policies and management are addressed offline via email or telephone. Comments concerning deleted post, posting privilege suspensions, or other matters of the administrative nature will be deleted. If you have a question about policy, please email one of our moderators. Again, don't take your problems to the forum - they will be deleted. Please email admin@ultimatelunker.com
7. No foul language. There are a few
colorful words we let slide, but their overuse will result in a
warning. There are a few that never need to be used – we don’t need to mention
them. When writing, it is very easy to express yourself without cursing. Use
**** if you need to. Sponsors make this site possible and it is much easier to
get them interested if the site is a little cleaner than your average Internet
forum.
8. We promote a friendly atmosphere for
anglers to exchange ideas. Differences of opinions are welcome and are an
important part of this format. We do not, however, tolerate those that try to
start an argument with every post. If you are looking to agitate people, simply
to get a response, or if you are trolling, this is not the place for you.
Warnings are issued, and if the behavior continues, administrators will revoke
posting privileges.
9. No personal attacks – if you disagree
with someone, state your case intelligently and back it up with facts. We will
not tolerate personal attacks. You will be warned once. If the behavior
continues, you will be banned from the forum. DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE WITH EMAIL
WHEN YOU HAVE A DISAGREEMENT ON THIS FORUM.
10. Do not try to solve personal problems
live on the forum. If you are concerned about an interaction with someone and
are interested in resolving it, send them an email (if they offer an email
address in their forum profile). If you don't get a response, just let it go.
They may not be interested in communicating with you.
11. No jokes of a sexual nature – just don’t
post them. We know some are funny, but there are children that browse our forum
and we want to set a positive example. Again, we offer one warning - if you
persist, you will be banned from the forum.
12. Racism of any kind will not be tolerated.
13. We consider the guides an asset to the site. Guides
offer a wealth of information and we want them visiting the site on a regular
basis.
14. We cannot allow bashing of our sponsors.
They make the ULF possible and we have to respect the fact that they pay our
bills. All threads of this nature will be deleted.
15. When posting items in the "Trading Post - Swap - Classifieds"
section, do not use multiple user names to post the same item - also do not
post the same item multiple times. If you want to start a new post on an item,
delete the old one. Also if your item has sold please update your posting.
16. No images in your signature line. You may have one text link. We want this forum to keep a clean look and feel. If you need help or have questions, contact our admin or moderators.
17. Limit your photo size. If they make the
screen scroll, they are too large. 600 pixels wide is the larget you need to
go.
18. Do not copy and paste articles from other publications to this site. It is a COPYRIGHT VIOLATION to do so. If you want to reference an article on another web site, post a link.
19. No Spam - Spamming is considered trying to sell something or refering members to your site in a post. If you do your post will be deleted or edited. You are allowed to have a link to your site in your signature.No more than 2 links are allowed in a signature, and they must fit one one line. If people are interested in your link they will go check it out.
We will be updating this section
occasionally. Again, our goal is an open, clean, and friendly format, but when
you have a public board rules have to be established and followed.
Please keep in mind that deleting,
moving, editing or locking of your post is not intended to be an attack or
insult. These actions are usually to keep the peace, keep the interaction on
the board friendly or keep content in the appropriate section.
If you have any suggestion concerning our
rules of conduct, please email admin@ultimatelunker.com.
