Please read the following rules and guidelines very carefully. By posting in our forums, you are agreeing to these guidelines and must follow them at all times. Refusal to obey these guidelines will result in the appropriate responsive actions by the board's moderators.

The most important thing to remember is that virtually everyone who answers questions on our forum is also a Online-Flowermound.com customer, and so their participation in helping others here is entirely voluntary. Abusive treatment or language directed toward those offering assistance will not be tolerated.


Signatures

· Signatures may not be any larger than four lines of text (or the equivalent size if using images).

· Signatures may contain images, as long as they are small and unobtrusive (i.e., not animated or distracting in some way). "Banners" are not permitted.

· If you are asked to modify your signature by a moderator because it has violated the guidelines or otherwise been deemed inappropriate, and you fail to do so, your entire signature will be removed.

Advertising, Spam, and Pornography

The following are prohibited on our forums:

· Advertising or promotion of any services not related specifically to Thesis (including that for competitors' companies or programs)

· Spam of any kind or linking to pornography

Posts of this nature will be immediately removed from the forum.

Posts which involve advertising or soliciting services directly related to Flower Mound are permitted only in the Classifieds forum (which has been created specifically for this purpose).

Personal promotion of your own site or product in your signature is permitted to the extent that it does not violate either this guideline, or the signature guidelines described above.

General Conduct

· Personal attacks on other users, moderators, or staff members either in public forums or private messages will not be tolerated.

· The use of profanity is inappropriate on the forum, as are racial, ethnic, or gender-based insults. Our user base is broad and includes members from various ages, genders, ethnicities and religious backgrounds, and it is important that everyone feel equally comfortable here. Posts that are offensive, insulting, or inflammatory are subject to immediate removal without warning.

· Having fun or even disagreement is permitted, as long as it does not become disruptive or rude.

· All comments should be constructive and on-topic (within reason).

Moderation of Board

· If your thread appears to have been moved to a new location, the easiest way to find it is to through your member profile page. Visit the following link (replacing MEMBER_NAME with your own unique member name): and then click "Find all posts". Do not re-post the thread.

· If you see a post which appears to violate any of our guidelines, do not respond to the post. Instead, click the "Report Post" icon in the upper right hand area directly above the post.

· At all times, we reserve the right to remove any threads that we deem to be inappropriate, abusive, or disruptive to the community in general.

· At all times, we reserve the right to ban any member who violates our guidelines or disrupts our community. Warnings will be issued where appropriate.
