This is the Official Rules and Terms of Use which you must abide by while participating on Easypooltutor.com. The basic rules for participation on the Easypooltutor.com website are simple: be polite, use common sense and don't break the rules.
We will enforce the policies outlined here. We reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without explanation. If you have any questions, please e-mail or PM the moderators if you do not understand any of the rules, guidelines or policies outlined below.
In addition to the rules posted here, members are required to read any individual forum rules which may be posted at the top of specific forums as sticky threads or important announcements. Easypooltutor.com moderators assume members have read the rules, and will not take ignorance of any rules as an excuse for not following any rules, policies, and guidelines outlined here, and in the forum specific rules. Suspension of your account is a definite consequence of not adhering to these rules.
FORUMS AND DISCUSSIONS
General Forum Rules
These rules apply to all Forum categories.
- You are not allowed to post the same message on multiple forums. This is considered spamming and will not be tolerated. The message board has been divided into several specific categories that you can choose from. The administrator and/or the moderators has the right to move a topic to the appropriate forum category as they sees fit.
- Each forum is specifically tailored to address certain topics. Therefore, you are responsible for initiating new threads in the correct forum. You should stay on-topic at all times. The administrator and/or moderators may move your post to the appropriate category as necessary.
- Foul and abusive language is not permitted. Although some words will be filtered and censored, it is recommended that you participate in a civilized and polite manner.
- All posts containing "non-english" languages must contain a corresponding "english" translation. This rule applies to ALL forums except for language specific forums (eg. EPT Tour (Philippines), EPT Tour (Singapore), EPT Players (Philippines) PRIVATE Forum, etc.). Any posts containing "non-english" language WITHOUT their respective translation WILL BE DELETED!
- Harrassing other users and participants will not be tolerated. Harassment means
"to trouble or annoy continually; to make repeated attacks on someone without foundation or proof"
Proper etiquette is required for participation on Easypooltutor.com Forum.
Anyone found to be harassing users for any reason will be warned, then removed. This removal is permanent and will not be revoked for whatever reason. Only the administrator will make the final decision if a member should be permanently removed for harassment of other users.
- Along with harassment, trolling is prohibited and any user deemed to be trolling will be immediately warned, then banned if he/she continues to offend. For a definition of trolling and tactics on how to avoid trollers, please see http://www.intersurf.com/~aevinc/aev2trol.htm. The administrator will be the final arbiter as to if a user is trolling.
In addition, members who continually participate in verbal battles regardless of the who started it will be warned and then removed. It is simply best to "walk" away and never fall prey to trolls.
- Participants may not post on behalf of any banned member. This includes all forums and private messages.
- Participants may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by Easypooltutor.com.
- Participants may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria will be removed without notice.
- Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.
Forum Specific Rules These rules apply to all forums except the Advertising Forum.
- Commercial and personal advertising IS NOT allowed in the Forums, Chat Room, and the articles section of the website. We have provided an Advertising Forum for that purpose.
- Once again... Commercial and personal advertising IS NOT allowed in the Forums, Chat Room, and the articles section of the website. We have provided an Advertising Forum for that purpose.
- Participants may not publish or discuss any information regarding their product or services, or future (possible) products or services, or any product or services they are (currently) associated with. This includes, but not limited to suggesting your own services, or services of partners, clients, employers or friends.
- Participants may only discuss details about their company and/or product offerings when the thread starter or poster has made direct reference to their company and stated something untrue or misleading, or something which clearly needs clarifying. The response must be in direct reference to the point discussed only and contain no added promotional information. It is advisable when in the above scenario to contact the moderators first.
- You may not solicit the membership for feedback or suggestions on their product or services. There are available databases where applicable businesses may list their business free of charge.
Advertising and the Advertising Forum
- You may use a "signature" to include a URL of your commercial site with a brief description of your product and services. We reserve the right to ask you to change and/or remove your signature at any time, for any reason.
- Advertising is limited to one ad per 7 days posted in the Advertising Forums regarding your companies, sub-companies or associated companies. It will remain any companies' responsibility to schedule and maintain the offers their employees post in conforming with this rule.
- Members who advertise are expected and required to read, and follow, the rules outlined within a category that are posted as Announcements.
- Members may not intentionally "trash" or "troll" in another user's advertisement thread.
- The 'Advertising Forums' are not a place for you to criticize or pass comment on another user's advertisement. Comments such as "You could get a better deal at.....", or "Your price is way too high for that...", or "That design stinks....", etc. will be removed and your account will be suspended.
- Any attempts to defraud or deceive our members with bogus advertisement or products may result in your account being suspended.
Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.
