Forum Rules

Age Limitations


The FFM forums will not knowingly allow any visitor who is under 13 years of age.

Flaming, Bashing, and Fighting


Hate posts and personal attacks will not be tolerated on the FFM Forums, and this includes bashing new users. While some things are all in good fun, be careful not to cross the line. If you strongly feel the need to bash/fight/argue, then the FFM forums are not for you.

Warnings


We at FFM have a "three strike" rule. Generally, if you get warned for whatever reason three times, you'll get suspended for two weeks. Once your time is up, and you come back, if your behavior still hasn't improved you will then be banned.

For warnings, you'll generally get one free "verbal warning", but if your behavior still does not improve, you will then receive an actual warning.

Reviving Dead Topics


If a conversation has played itself out already, don't try to kick it back to life. If a topic hasn't been posted in for two months or longer, consider it D.O.A. However, pinned topics are okay to revive though.

Any non-pinned topic revived that is older than two months will likely then become locked, and the bumpee will be warned verbally (Won't go to your warning bar, that is). If the person still is constantly reviving dead topics after the verbal warning, they will receive an actual warning.

Multiple Posts


Every single person has the ability to edit any post they make here. As such, there is absolutely no reason to see two or three posts in a row by the same person. If you have something to say that you forgot to mention in your post, just edit it in instead of posting again. Or better yet, think long and hard before you hit that submit button in the first place.

Obscenity


Any obscene or pornographic imagery is absolutely not tolerated. Anyone who posts any kind of obscene or pornographic imagery will be banned without warning. Also, While swearing is not against the rules on our boards, keep it within a normal spectrum. If you don't know what that means, feel free to PM the administator or any of the three super moderators to find out.

Trading/Buying/Selling at FFM


FFM is not responsible for results via transactions between members. Always be careful and be aware that anyone at anytime may not hold up to their end of the bargain. Users who are proven to have "Ripped-Off" another user will be banned from the FFM forums.

General Posting/Off-Topic Posts/Spamming


We will delete individual posts that may ruin a good topic thread. Although posting off topic isn't the end of the world, it definitely should try to be avoided. Afterall, there is a spamming section for a reason, so make use of it instead of spamming up the other sections. Please take a look at all the sections within our forum to make sure your topic applies to the section you are posting it in.

Anyone who constantly posts off topic will receive a verbal warning, and if that does not cease, they will then be actually warned.

Spam Advertising


Registering only to spam your website and/or product is strictly prohibited, and anybody who is caught doing this will be banned without warning.

Impersonation/Multiple Accounts


Using a FFM forum username or other methods intending to appear as someone that you are not is not allowed. This includes account names that mock or insult other forum members regardless of the circumstances of the creation of the account.

There is no need for one person to have more than one account on these boards. You'll be banned immediately when caught. If you happen to share an IP address with someone (i.e. two accounts for two people who live in the same household), I recommend you make it clear that you are two seperate people. How you do this is up to you.

Policing


There is an administrator and three super moderators for a reason, whom of which are all forum regulars. The last thing we need is some random board member to take it upon themselves to tell someone if they've broken some board rule. That's our job, and the main reason why we're here. We appreciate the active participation from members, but it is highly unnecessary.


We reserve the right to delete any posts or any member for any reason at any time with no warning.
