Bombardier Brothers Rules

We welcome you to participate in the Bombardier Brothers Community, however as with all social circles there are a few rules you must abide by in order to maintain your active membership within these message boards.

We are trying to provide the highest quality community experience for all of our members. Following these guidelines is the best way to maintain a quality environment for all age groups. If we find that you break any of these rules, your account may be disabled and your posting privileges removed. These rules are very basic and we hope that you read them fully. Thanks for your cooperation.


1) No graphic material of either a macabre or pornographic nature.
Any posts or links to such content will not be tolerated.

2) No warez (illegal software/links) & Cracks.
Help, requests, or posts that discuss circumvention. This includes linking to illegally obtained software, movies & music files - posting about it, and suggesting to get it.

3) No Racism, Threatening, Personal Attacks, No (citing) Victimization or Hateful posts/Retaliation of any kind against a user, or group of users

If you are a long standing member, act like one; lead by example and assist other newer users rather then attacking them. We look upon our veteran users to use this opportunity to teach the newer users the appropriate way to conduct themselves in this community.

4) No Flaming, Personal attacks such as flaming, instigating "flame bait", verbal abuse or mocking of members in forum posts are not tolerated at Bombardier Brothers. Such posts will be deleted on sight and moderated accordingly.
As above, if you are a long standing member, act like one. Lead by example and assist other newer members rather then attacking them. Members that reply to posts simply to instigate argument will be dealt with and shown no mercy.

5) Posts in a particular forum need to stay on topic.
If you want to talk about something that is drastically removed from the topic of a forum, please take it to General Discussion. General Discussion was set
up and designed for members to discuss issues not related to a specific forum section. We welcome most general conversation in the General Discussion, but discourage it from other forums. Use a title that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention.

6) Unacceptable Forum or News comments.
While some members feel that post count is important, there are some posts we that feel do not contribute to the community in any way what-so-ever. Observe, because these are examples of unacceptable posts. If you wish to direct a fellow member to something that has already been posted, please do so in a courteous
manner.

# 'old news' or anything similar.

# 'first post' or anything similar.

# '(insert product or brand) sucks' or anything similar

# 'I posted this in BPN x days ago!!!' or anything similar

7) No Avatar & Custom Title Abuse.
Please don't use any racial comments in your member titles or pornography in avatars, this goes for signatures also.

8) Bombardier Brothers Does not Support the Posting of Posts in all Caps Or Advertising your Website Without Permission.

a. Do not post in ALL Caps. This seems that you are Yelling and is Rude.

b. Do Not Advertise your Website Or Spam our Site saying hey come here join here without Permission from one of the Admins. If Caught you will be BANNED A.S.A.P.

c. If you are affiliated with Bombardier Brothers, please remember, this does NOT give you immediate permission to advertise on our site. Just because we display your website's button doesn't necessarily mean we want "Join Us!" or advertising signatures all over. Please respect this rule. We aren't here to make you famous.

9) No spamming, Ever!

Spamming is characterized by the initiation of threads or posts that contribute nothing to a forum, be it off topic or on topic. Examples include: empty bodies, bodies with few words that have no relation to the current thread or discussion and those posts that state they are spam, either to annoy, advertise or increase a member's post count. Resurrecting old forum posts is also not appreciated unless it serves a worthy cause to the forum. This determination is made by the forum Moderator or Administrator and is not up for discussion.

a. Forum sigs are to be used respectfully, Bombardier Brothers already has to display ads to cover the running costs, so don't annoy our members by making your sig
into some sort of web ad. (ie: Advertising in your sig is not allowed).

10) Bombardier Brothers also enforces forum specific rules, the "Bombardier Brothers Community Rules" apply in conjunction with any forum specific rules.

11) Bombardier Brothers requires that members respect the decision of moderators.
Threads and posts questioning the actions or decisions of forum moderations will be deleted on sight, and the appropriate action taken (up to and including forum bans) against the thread starter and/or participants. However, as a member you reserve the right to PM any moderator or administrator regarding action taken at Bombardier Brothers.

Reporting System: Do not abuse the report system, while we appreciate members reporting bad behavior, we don't appreciate rude comments or your opinion on how 'quick' staff are at handling problems around here.

12) No alternate accounts are allowed.

Should you be disciplined with a restriction or ban, you are not allowed to open a new account to obtain freedom to post. Restrictions and bans are given for a reason, and usurping that ability by re-registering is not tolerated. If another account is opened, that account will be banned immediately, and the original account will be further penalized. Anyone who has warnings on their account are automatically excluded from changing their user name.

13) Bombardier Brothers reserves the right to change or alter these rules at any time and an Administrator's word is final.

Note: Any infraction of these guidelines will result in a warning placed against your Bombardier Brothers account and will be added to your overall warning level.

What about graphical items such as tutorials/signatures?

This has been brought to my attention before, I will clearly state it here for you. If the tutorial contains a link inside of it advertising an external site that has to do with anything other than graphics, it MUST be removed. Bombardier Brothers does not support advertising in signatures or tutorials. If you have found a tutorial and it advertises an external website that does not have a central theme of graphical design, the URL must be removed form the tutorial/signature.

If however it is from a graphical website, the link may stay. Credits on tutorials are completely fine, as long as it doesn't look like you blurred out somebody else's name to add in yours. Credits are okay on graphical creations, as there is substantial proof that YOU yourself has made it.


Remember, Bombardier Brothers wasn't made for you to come to us, and tell us we aren't good at what we do. If you don't like us, don't tell us about it, just leave. Being a member on BB is a PRIVILEGE.

At Bombardier Brothers, we bring you the BEST of the best. If you think we've got competition, or need some improvements, TELL US! Anything helps! In order to bring you the best quality experience, we need to HAVE it. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

From all of the Bombardier staff and Smick, THANKS for joining!
