The Republican Forum - messages #40338 .1

While participating in the Republican Forum, please observe the following rules:

The general guideline is that participants here must treat each other with respect and dignity, attacking ideas and issues rather than each other.
Impersonation of another user or a public figure living or dead is illegal and against the forum rules as is the use of obscene or otherwise offensive handles. We have discovered over the years that the forum is a friendlier place when you feel you’re talking to a real person. All members are expected to post under one screenname only. Multiple screennames will result in all except the original name being locked out of the forum.
Messages that call for illegal action or might result in harm to others are not allowed on this forum.
In general, we accept language that is commonly heard on network television evening news. Gratuitous obscenity and/or explicit or implicit descriptions of sex do not belong in this forum. Messages containing vulgar language or profanity are not allowed. Partially masking unacceptable words with asterisks or other symbols does not make the word acceptable if it is still recognizable.
Every user is free to read and respond to every message on the board. If you dislike a correspondent, you are free to ignore him or her, but not to insist that he or she not write to you on the board.
Respect toward other subscribers is required at all times. Personal disparagement (insulting another participant’s intellect, physical appearance, personal habits, etc.), libel, slander, inappropriate familiarity (alluding to another person’s private life or asking personal questions of a person whom the questioner doesn’t know well) or any other form of direct or indirect "personal attack" are not permitted.
Deliberate disruption of forum discussion, harassment of other users, attacks on specific groups represented in the forum, offensiveness in subject matter or diction (choice of words) and/or disrespect for the forum rules will not be tolerated.
Duplicate, reprinted and/or blank messages should never be placed on the message board. Blank messages will be deleted by forum staff (this is the only time forum staff will delete a message from a member). Although quotation of previous messages is effective and even necessary in some cases, users should be moderate in this as in all things. Most people do not wish to read the same message twice, so keep your quotations as brief as possible. A general rule is, if the quotation is longer than your message, it is too long.
Messages and library files from other forums, private e-mail, messages from private sections such as the forum staff section, and other privileged information may not be posted in public without the specific written permission of the original author. Messages from this forum may not be reposted elsewhere without the author’s permission.
The staff reserves the right to move messages from one section of the forum to another in order to make sure that each thread is in the appropriate section for its topic and tone.
Messages that are of questionable taste or which might be construed as a personal attack on another forum member or which otherwise violate forum rules will be moved from the general discussion area. Depending on the seriousness of the offense (and the users’ prior posting history), the user may get a friendly warning or a more formal warning.
The Republican Forum respects copyright law. Copyrighted material may not be used here without the specific written permission of the copyright holder. Brief "fair use" excerpts are allowed as exceptions, but the staff must make final determinations of where "fair use" ends and infringement begins. Roughly, "fair use" allows less than 10% of the total of the work copied, or 500 words, whichever is less. No more than 1 stanza of a song or poem may be posted, without such a grant of permission. Remember, even a "fair use" excerpt should be properly attributed.
Disregard for forum policy or disrespect for forum staff members performing assigned tasks are grounds for disciplinary action. If a user responds inappropriately to any warnings by SysOps, or continues to violate the rules after being warned, he or she will be locked out, either temporarily or permanently depending on the nature of the offense and the type of response given to the warning. Persistent attacks on forum policy or staffers simply doing their jobs are not welcome. Attempts to undermine forum policy through campaigns on the board or in e-mail are against the forum rules. We will also not allow continuous rehashing of alleged grievances or disagreements.

Participation in this forum is by sole discretion of the management and based on adherence to the above rules.
