Lots of rules. http://webmasters.sosblog.com/VP-Blog-b1/ReadMe-Welcome-to-VP-b1-p4.htm#c_4 1970-01-01T01:00:00Z Additional Rules<br /><br />Infractions<br /><br />There is an old saying, "don't fix what isn't broken". Infractions have been covered so well by ViciousSummer it was best to put it in here.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />An infraction is a simple warning that you have done something wrong. It's not the end of the world, so don't take it personally.<br /><br />There is no real consequence to receiving an infraction, unless you are a spammer or you frequently and blatently break the rules.<br /><br />If you manage to rack up 10 infraction points, you will be banned temporarily.<br /><br /><br /><br />Here is a list of what you can receive an infraction for and a brief explanation of why:<br /><br /><br /><br />- Duplicate thread - If you create a thread about a subject that is already being discussed in another thread, you may receive an infraction.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Affiliate links - Affiliate links are allowed in signatures, but they are not allowed in posts.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Thread hijacking - Off topic posts or trying to promote your own item/service in a thread started by someone else are both examples of thread hijacking.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Running up post count/post has no value - Posts such as "pm sent", "lol" or any other useless post that does not contribute to the forum<br /><br />or the thread is considered a post that has no value. Posting numerous "welcome to the forum" posts in the Introductions forum is also<br /><br />considered post padding or running up your post count. Posting an opinion in a sales thread such as "great price, good luck with the sale"<br /><br />but not actually bidding or participating is not allowed.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Inappropriate post/thread - Although we are quite liberal, certain threads and posts are simply inappropriate.<br /><br />Examples of inappropriate posts would be porn and blatant vulgarity.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Thread started in wrong catagory - If you start a thread in the wrong forum because you do not have enough posts to start a thread in the<br /><br />correct forum (special section for example - VP-Mentors ONLY), you will receive an infraction. If you start a thread in the wrong catagory,<br /><br />but it appears that you at least attempted to put it in the right forum, you generally will not receive an infraction.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Bumping thread - Bumping is when you reply to your own thread with the sole purpose of bumping it to the top of the forum.<br /><br />Also, a worthless reply to old threads can also be considered bumping.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Inappropriate language - Cursing is not forbidden in this forum, but we expect it to be used minimally.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Attacking/harassing other members - You are allowed to disagree with the opinions of other members but you are not allowed to<br /><br />attack the person or their circumstances.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Spamming - If all or the majority of your posts are promoting or linking to your website or product. You will receive an infraction for spamming.<br /><br /><br /><br />- Duplicate account - If you create more then one account at Virtual Place Forums, you will receive an infraction and will be banned.<br /><br /><br /><br />ADDITIONAL INFO: What is a post?<br /><br /><br /><br />What you are reading right now is a post. Posts are contained inside threads.<br /><br />Threads are a basically a particular topic (for example, this thread contains information for new members) and people post information and thoughts in threads.<br /><br /><br /><br />Internet Forum | Forum Spam | Forum Bump<br /><br /><br /><br />Forum Thread | Sticky post | Blog<br /><br /><br /><br />-> Forum Colors: I recognsied a lot of forums have their own colors.<br /><br />For example, v7n has green, red, white, DP has black, green, white, and the VP has blue, black and white.<br /><br />We are a mixture of the big ones on the net, so we should be the best. If you want to give us feedback, need help or what ever contact us @ the vp forum support section.<br /><br /><br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br /><br /><br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS regarding forum ranks:<br /><br /><br /><br />User Rank / Minimum Posts<br /><br /><br /><br />VP-Newbie = 1<br /><br />VP-Member = 10<br /><br />VP-Constributing Member = 50<br /><br />VP-Mentor = 100<br /><br />VP-Webmaster = 500 http://webmasters.sosblog.com/VP-Blog-b1/ReadMe-Welcome-to-VP-b1-p4.htm#c_3
