Team MiG wishes all forum users to show respect for MiG, Simone, his family, friends and fellow Team MiG members here and on all fan forums. Thank you.
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO BE 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER TO USE THIS FORUM.
PLEASE KEEP ON TOPIC
Do try and keep to the topic of the thread. If you want to raise a new issue then consider whether a new topic is more appropriate.
PLEASE RESPECT OTHER USERS
Sometimes people can write something that you may find offensive. Before launching into a public condemnation though, please consider that the person may not have intended to cause offense. It is very easy to misinterpret a post on forums. There is absolutely no need to resort to insults. Respect others' views even if you disagree with them.
NO TROLLING
What is a troll? It's a person who posts something which is bound to stir people up and then sits back and watches as dozens of people jump in and start arguing. Sometimes trolls get their friends to join in or post under different names. Generally they will do anything it takes to get attention. If you see a message like this, please try and refrain from replying to it and please report it privately to a moderator.
Trolling is further considered one of two things. Either continually running a topic into the ground or dragging up old arguments against a specific user/group/etc. long after their appropriate discussion and targeting them specifically in arguments needlessly. Trolling is the first step towards outright harassment of other members. This is the single biggest no-no in the community. Letting every argument drop isn't always a possibility, but learning when to let things go is a valuable tool, and not just in this community.
PERSONAL DISPUTES
Please do not use these forums for personal disputes, heated debates, flame wars etc. You are expected to treat each other with respect in the forums and take any personal disputes to a private mode of discussion off the forums. If you should find that your discussion is becoming too heated or someone is becoming far too passionate about their argument, please take the discussion to private message or email.
PLEASE DO NOT FLAME
Flaming, in the most common sense definition, is saying something negative in an attempt to get a more negative response. This is completely and totally unacceptable. It will not be tolerated. Never resort to personal insults, never extend a debate beyond the topic on hand needlessly, and try to avoid patronizing and offensive language.
PLEASE DO NOT FLAME THE STAFF
They have the final say. They try to please everyone they can, but in the end, they're charged with making this community as enjoyable for as many people as they possibly can. They can not always be right, nor can they please everyone with the decisions made, but they're doing their "jobs" and hopefully we can all agree that they're doing their best to ensure a good community here.
Please be respectful in both the forums and any private communications with moderators. Moderators are volunteers that donate many, many hours of their own time to help in the forum. Violations of this rule will not be tolerated.
If you feel that an egregious oversight has been made, then privately mail the moderator group. Do not post complaints on the forum.
WARNINGS, USER LOCKING, BANNING - If the Moderation Team feels that a user has "crossed the line" one too many times, they will issue the user a private warning. If the warning goes unheeded, further action will be taken. This can be anything from locking the offending user account, to deletion and banning of the user. Action is generally on a case by case basis.
REPORT - Please report any trouble and/or concerns by private message to any of the moderators. They are here to listen and act quickly should there be a problem or trouble. Thank you.
No use of explicit, obscene or vulgar language or images and/or messages, including racist remarks.
No use of multiple usernames. Please register and use only one username for the forums.
Posting under multiple user accounts may result in administrative action. We understand that sometimes errors are made...but if you are intentionally using multiple aliases here and it is discovered your accounts will be deleted.
• You will not upload, post, transmit, transfer, disseminate, distribute or facilitate the distribution of any content including text, images, sound, data, information or software that:
1. Incites, advocates or expresses pornography, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity, hatred, bigotry, racism, insults or gratuitous violence.
2. Misrepresents the source of anything you post including impersonation of another individual or identity. This includes the use of exclusive Team MiG pictures without written permission on any other website or forum. In most cases, we'd be more than happy to share, but please have the courtesy to ask.
3. Provides or creates links to external sites that violate this code of conduct.
4. Is intended to harm or exploit minors in anyway.
5. Invades anyone’s privacy by attempting to harvest, collect, store or publish private or personally identifiable information such as passwords, account information, credit card numbers, addresses or other contact information without their consent.
6. Intends to harm or disrupt another user’s computer or would allow others to illegally access software or bypass security on Websites or servers including but not limited to spamming.
7. Is intended to threaten, stalk, defame, defraud, degrade, victimize, embarrass, hurt or intimidate an individual or group of individuals for any reason.
*Please note you should contact a moderator privately with any concerns/questions you may have about this board or its required etiquette and not post your issues/questions on the boards.
*Please note that the moderating staff reserves the right to edit/modify any posting/message in order to keep the boards organized. This includes duplicate postings containing the same information, duplicate threads on multiple boards and fixing broken or inaccurate links if we cannot reach you to make the correction yourself. We will notify you by private mail of the modification if we make it.
*These boards are not to be used to promote any other organization, fansite, company or business. Posts made with this intention can be immediately removed without warning or notice by the moderating staff.
Thank you so much.
