Because some Freaks have been getting too comfortable with violating the board's Community Guidelines and Code of Conduct; this is your reminder of said guidelines and code you agreed to abide by when you registered.

From the Community Guidelines:

We reserve the right to change, add to, and interpret any part of the Community Guidelines in a manner we feel best serves the community. Any content or member we feel is in conflict with the purpose of this forum may be removed at our discretion. Our decisions are final.

B. Sex/Nudity and Shocking/Disgusting Content. Our sites are not for pornographic, sexually explicit or even overtly sexually suggestive content. It is not okay to post violent or gory content that’s primarily intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful.

C. Profanity. Don't use profanity or bypass our software-based profanity censor.

D. Hate Speech. While we believe everyone has a right to express their point of view, even if it is unpopular, we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).

E. Controversial Topics (Religion and Politics). Because they are so detrimental to the cohesion of any community, we do not allow the discussion of political/religious views, religious/political figures, or social issues that will inevitably draw members into a heated debate (e.g Evolution/Creationism or the politics behind gun control, abortion, etc). It is unrealistic to believe that a religious or political viewpoint won’t work its way onto the site in some fashion (e.g mentioning you will pray for a sick member). It is important to remember that the purpose of this policy is not to limit your ability to express your beliefs but to limit the division often caused by discussing/debating differing points of view regarding these subjects.

From the board's Code of Conduct:

Profanity
We have users of all age groups and of all tolerance levels where profanity is concerned. A language filter is in place to catch most major forms of profanity that may accidentally be used. Do not attempt to circumvent the language filter by using variations or slight misspellings of profanities.

Politics, Religion, Sexual Orientation

Discrimination of any kind is not allowed on this forum. Our call is to be supportive, not divisive. Because of this, discrimination, racial vilification and offensive generalizations targeting people of other races, religions, sexual orientation and/or nationalities will not be tolerated.

E. Controversial Topics (Religion and Politics). Because they are so detrimental to the cohesion of any community, we do not allow the discussion of political/religious views, religious/political figures, or social issues that will inevitably draw members into a heated debate (e.g Evolution/Creationism or the politics behind gun control, abortion, etc). It is unrealistic to believe that a religious or political viewpoint won’t work its way onto the site in some fashion (e.g mentioning you will pray for a sick member). It is important to remember that the purpose of this policy is not to limit your ability to express your beliefs but to limit the division often caused by discussing/debating differing points of view regarding these subjects.

Claiming ignorance of the rules, guidelines, or COC isn't an excuse to violate them.

If you don't violate these rules then we'll have no problem.

If you do then you'll pay the consequences.

You've been notified.
