Inappropriate Behavior

• DO NOT Make Inappropriate or Offensive Posts - including threats, harassment, swearing, prejudice, slander or deliberate insults/name-calling, or other negative remarks about another person, business, site, member, moderator or administrator. Even if this is just your own personal opinion.
• Flaming, trolling and baiting for the purpose of creating arguments will not be tolerated. If you want to fight or belittle others there are plenty of forums that tolerate that behavior. One inflammatory post and we reserve the right to ban without notice.
• Do NOT post another member's real name, personal info, URL or Whois. Period.
• DO NOT deliberately start arguments. Debates are great, as long as they remain respectful!
• Do NOT make threats or implied threats towards other members -- even if you think it's fun.
• AGORA believes in integrity and respects what other forums have to offer. Because we realize members of AGORA forum may also be members of other forums, do not try to degrade or discredit other forums, their administrators and moderators, or their members. This includes slander and other offensive comments.
• DO NOT POST download applications, free screensavers or anything else that could spread adware and/or spyware, or link to any of these.
• DO NOT POST PORN or adult content. This also includes sites promoting activities such as drug abuse, gambling and links to sites containing such content.
• Please make sure that your posts and signature are written in English.
• We want the forum to be open to all genders, races, religions and sexualities, so any inappropriate or offensive posts will be deleted.

• 1st Offense - A polite Private Message from a Moderator pointing out the Forum Rules, in addition to the editing or deletion of the post

Identity Theft:

• DO NOT impersonate anyone whom you are not, regardless of who the other individual may be. Identity theft is illegal and will not be tolerated.

• DO NOT post the same question multiple times in multiple threads in the same forum. If no one responds to your question or request, just post a reply to the same message thread again to bring the message to the top of the list so folks notice it.
