Dear members,
In light of some recent posts that have been made on this site, we as a staff have collectively decided to issue a message concerning member behavior. We understand everyone is frustrated with the lack of news and poor communication from Avril, but we must remember to follow the rules laid out. We have a zero tolerance policy for rude or offensive language used towards Avril, her friends/family/team, or towards other members. We welcome opinions, both positive and negative, however please remember to use respectful and appropriate language. Any posts that violate these rules will either be reported or edited/deleted at the discretion of the staff, and action will be taken as we see fit.
The forum rules are listed below for your convenience:
1. Posts that violate the ProBoards Community Guidelines will result in a warning or a ban. Please follow them.
2. The staff require a certain amount of cooperation from members to efficiently run a successful forum. Any uncooperative behaviour will not be tolerated.
3. Constant 'spamming' of a thread or board will not be accepted. Purposely attempting to disrupt the flow of the forum will result in staff taking authoritative action. Posting Games are exempt from this rule.
4. You must have at least 35 posts before announcing that you have something to sell or advertise. Any accounts that the Staff find that have been opened solely for the purpose of advertisement without the post count requirement will be banned. We or ProBoards are not responsible for any purchases you partake in - buy at your own risk.
5. Overtly unpleasant behaviour will not be tolerated. Racist, prejudiced, hostile, spiteful, or otherwise harmful or inappropriate posts will result in a warning or ban.
6. Blatantly malicious comments towards Avril Lavigne, her family or friends, or any other chosen forum artist are not permitted and will be dealt with accordingly.
7. Do not upload unauthorised, copyrighted or otherwise illegal audio or video using the attachment feature, or provide direct download links to such materials. Direct download links include links to sites such as Mediafire, Dropbox, Google Drive, torrent sites etc. Don't post requests for such links. These posts will be removed. Links to streaming sites (YouTube, Soundcloud, etc.) are permitted.
8. Bumping old threads often results in confusion and annoyance among members. Do not bump an old thread unless you have substantial and relevant information to add to it. Offending posts - and subsequent replies from other members - will be deleted. Posting Games are exempt from this rule.
9. If your account is suspended or banned, you are not allowed to re-register. The staff have many ways of detecting duplicate accounts; we will find out, and said accounts will be banned permanently.
10. Advertising an unofficial Bandaids site is STRICTLY forbidden. The 'Bandaids' name is trademarked, and any unauthorised use is against the law.
Additional Notes:-
- All of the above applies to all areas of the site, including PM conversations. If you think someone is breaking the rules in a PM, please don't hesitate to contact us.
- Just because something is not listed above does not mean it's okay. Any disruptive, unfriendly or inappropriate activity will be dealt with by the staff.
- If someone breaks the rules, DO NOT 'follow suit' and respond in a similar manner. Please report any offending posts. For more information on how reports work, see below.
- Accumulating a 50% warning level will result in an automatic temporary suspension of your account (1 week). A level of 100% will result in a permanent ban. However, you can be banned regardless of your warning level if the staff feel it is necessary. If you wish to appeal a warning, see below.
- If you need to contact us outside of the site for any reason, you may do so at: avrilbandaidsboardsnet@zoho.com
