IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE THIS FORUM. PLEASE READ THE TERMS CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THAT BY USING THIS FORUM YOU HAVE INESCAPABLY AGREED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Site Content

The content on SkySimFlight.org is provided solely on an as-is basis, and SkySimFlight.org makes no warranties or implications to the correctness and accuracy of the content at hand. All posts, remarks, opinions, and statements reflected on the SkySimFlight.org forums belong to the writer of those posts and do not reflect the opinions of SkySimFlight.org.

Do not post anything discriminating or offensive in nature, including pictures and comments

No explanation should be needed. Do not post it. You may as well paint a big "ban me" tattoo on your forehead. In the end, the Staff is the sole judge of what is considered acceptable. If you have any doubts about the contents of something you want to post, feel free to contact a Moderator.

No excessive flaming or inflammatory posts obviously intended to start a fight or get a reaction

A heated discussion can be okay, personal attacks never are. Please do not degrade or discourage others by posting things such as "You are an 'idiot' or 'moron'", etc. Malicious users or those that obviously signed up to ridicule others will get banned on the spot, without warning.

No excessive off-topic posting

Do not create nonsense threads with absolutely no redeeming value (spam) such as 'What color do you like best'. This includes posts obviously intended for post count, such as 'hello' or 'nt' etc.

No troublemaking

Starting problems for the sake of stirring up waves will get you removed. This is forum-wide, including private messages. Treat members with the same respect that you would expect others to treat you.

No porn/nudity/graphic content

DO NOT post links on the forums, in your signature or profile to pornographic sites or images. DO NOT post, link or make available anything that could be considered obscene, sexually explicit (partial nudity), pornographic, violent, racist, abusive, insulting, threatening, offensive, disgusting, harassing, in violation of the law or in violation of any of the individual forum rules. Any image contained in your profile which borderlines on this rule, or tries to 'get around it' through editing means you will have it removed by the Forum Staff.

No CD cracks, hacks, "warez", or P2P (Peer2Peer) software

Do not ask for 'No CD' cracks, CD keys or help with mod chips. Do not discuss or post links to sites that have roms, sites with illegal video or audio downloads, or anything that could potentially violate copyright laws. If you think it is a questionable link, do not post it. P2P Sites and links are not allowed to be posted. Face it, we all know that they are used 99% for downloading illegal content.

VA advertising outside of the VA advertising thread is forbidden

DO NOT create advertisement threads or posts for off-site things such as any type of referral site or trading/selling DVDs, games, clubs, websites, contests, etc. (NOTE: You may advertise your personal site in your signature.) DO NOT send unsolicited private messages to our members advertising things such as any type of referral site or trading/selling DVDs, off-site clubs, contests, etc.

Do not ignore staff warnings or test patience or boundaries

Any post, threads or messages that, in our sole judgment, appear to violate the Forum Rules may be deleted without notice. We also reserve the right to remove any posting ability and limit or terminate access to anyone for any reason at any time without notice.

Disrespect to staff will not be tolerated under any circumstances

Moderators and Administrators are volunteers and are here to help you. They did not volunteer to take your disrespect. Conversely, if you feel that you have been mistreated by a Moderator, please contact one of the Administrators (recognizable by their red names) for assistance. If you cannot reach any of them at the time, but feel you need this resolved ASAP you are fully entitled to contact any one of them via private message and describe your problem to them. They will be able to help you to the best of their abilities. Additionally, you can find a complete staff list here, http://www.skysimflight.org/forum/memberlist.php?mode=leaders , to help you get in touch with them.

Disclaimer

These rules can be changed at anytime for any reason the Administration sees fit. While we will try to give proper notice on the changes, it is your responsibility to review them on a regular basis so you are aware of any changes. Ignorance is no excuse.
