When you register with the site you are required to accept the board rules of conduct... Since there has been a question regarding these rules I have modified and will post them here for everyone to read and adhere to:
In order to keep these forums enjoyable and interesting for all of our users, we ask simply that you follow these minimal rules. By participating in the Sniper’s Hide Forums, you are consenting to these rules. Violators may be warned, suspended from posting, or barred from the forums at the sole discretion of the Sniper’s Hide Administration and its Moderators.
1.Exercise common sense and be considerate toward your fellow users. Diversity of opinion and intelligent civil discourse is encouraged; by the same token, Personal attacks, rudeness, flaming, baiting, insults to others, or arguments will 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 PM, instant messengers, or Email, will be subject to disciplinary actions, including but not limited to banishment from the site.
2. Do not post off-topic. Please keep your comments consistent with the subject and purpose of the conversation thread. Deliberate disruption -- such as consistent off-topic commentary -- will not be tolerated and may result in posts being removed. Failure to heed warnings may lead to banishment.
Inappropriate content will be removed without notice. Do not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, of an explicit graphic sexual nature, racist, hateful, threatening, or otherwise volatile of any laws. Please use good judgment when choosing user names, avatars, or images to post, and do not attempt to bypass the word filter. It is there for a reason.
3. Register using only one user name, and do not "flood" the board with posts that are off-topic. Creating multiple user accounts or flooding the board will be considered a denial-of-service attack on the forums and will result in disciplinary action. Sniper's Hide strictly forbids by the use of multiple accounts and has a system in place to identify such accounts. This includes making a multiple account simply because you lost or forgot your original user name or password. Multiple account users will be removed from the forum without warning.
4. 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 Bear Pit, say you were not sure where it belonged, and someone will move it to the proper forum for you. Sniper’s Hide reserves the right to move, or remove any post it deems unacceptable at any time.
5. Posted images should be no larger than 800x600. Images that are larger than this will be converted to a link without notice. Remote avatars should be 100x100 or smaller (actual image size, not the image dimensions displayed after being converted by the forum), and no larger than 30KB file size. Larger avatars will be removed without notice. Uploaded avatars have a limit of 100x100 and 10KB. If you want help creating an avatar or resizing images, post a question on the forum asking for help. There are several members who will be happy to assist you.
6. Political discussion not directly related to firearms and shooting related issues are prohibited, as is any discussion on religion and religious matters. The posting of political or religious material will be deemed disruptive and maybe result in disciplinary action without notice or warning. Sniper's Hide has zero tolerance for political posts of any kind. Whether under guise of a political joke, or a blatant propaganda piece, no political posts means, no political posts, period.
7. No all-caps (FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE THIS) please. It is extremely hard to read. Posts submitted in all-caps will be deleted automatically.
8. No posting of links advertising off site sales of any kind without expressed permission from the board or one of its moderators.
9. No Commercial postings by any business without first subscribing to the site's rules regarding Commercial Sales. Any business found violating this will be removed along with any and all posts. Businesses are required to meet the minimum requirements to post advertisements of their products and services. Sniper's Hide LLC derives an income from the advertisers fees, attempting to use the site for business is strictly forbidden without paying an advertiser fee to the site.
10. No post of an illegal nature, to included illegally altered weapons, or discussion of animals hunted out of season, or in a manner not consistent with local laws. Any member posting anything deemed questionable will have their account locked and any identify information maybe turned over to the appropriate authorities by request. Sniper's Hide supports all State and Federal Laws and will assist Law Enforcement if requested.
