Here at Seibertron.com we have one simple philosophy
BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER
We have four basic rules1. No personal attacks/threats
2. No adult (18+) material
3. No discussion nor promotion of illegal activities
4. No pseudo-modding
What does it all mean?1. No personal attacks/threatsThis includes, but is not limited to, personal attacks/threats on a person for their race, religious beliefs, sexual preferences, cultural background, upbringing, personal appearance etc posted publicly on forums and sent via private messages.
This NOT limited solely to members of Seibertron.com. Personal attacks/threats against non-members (e.g. Comic book Writers/Artists, Movie Producers/Stars/Directors, Toy Designers etc) will also not be tolerated.
Remember, your opinion is just that, your opinion. It is NOT necessarily right.
2. No adult (18+) materialDo not post images, videos or links to material which is deemed illegal by anyone under the age of 18.
3. No discussion nor promotion of illegal activitiesThis includes but is not limited to drug use, Theft, solicitation of a minor, Illegal downloading of movies and copyright infringement (including the distribution of files such as video game ROMs and PDFs of commercially available books).
4. No pseudo-moddingIf there is a problem on the forums, and this can range from someone posting in the wrong section to someone being outright abusive, please do not try to take control of the situation. Simply use the "Report this Post" button, this can be found in the top right hand corner of each post.
Rule violation? This is what happens...You'll get a
"tap on the shoulder" from a Moderator. Most times it will just be a
"Hey, you over stepped the rules a bit there, please don't do it again". Now if that tap on the shoulder doesn't work, then we have to get serious (and we REALLY don't want to do that). So you will then be issued a warning.
• After three warnings - 3 day suspension
• After two more warnings (five in total) - 7 day suspension
• Keep breaking the rules and earn another warning (six in total) - Permanent ban (we really don't want to get to that point)
Seibertron.com staff reserve the right for an earlier Permanent ban if it's obvious to us that the User in question has no reason to be on Seibertron.com other than to cause troubleIf you are banned, do not create another account.Signature GuidelinesWe all like to show off a bit, but most of us don't like to have to scroll through a huge signature.
