    Exclamation RCSparks Community Rules
    You cannot rate threads
    0
     

    Please be aware of the following guidelines, Prior to joining our community.

    It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to know these guidelines and Forum RULE.



    The RCSparks Studio Forums have only 1 RULE!


    1) The "NO BULLIES ALLOWED" policy is in place. By that we mean that there are enough Bullies in the world, we don't need any here.



    This forum is a sanctuary for all RC Enthusiasts to come and enjoy themselves - without worry of being picked on, or put down because of the RC they choose to use, opinions they have, or otherwise.

    This is an Teen / Adult Community Forum.


    Minimum Age is 13. The Site is regulated as PG-13. If a member is caught lying about their age, the associated account will be IMMEDIATELY BANNED on a PERMANENT basis, via IP Address.

    Children under the age of 13, found using a parents account(s) will be removed immediately, and again the asociated parents account will be banned. Parents need to be responsible with the use of their children on computers.

    Accounts, Language, and Posts are monitored. No Nudity, and No direct Bullying will be Permitted. Hot Girls in Bikini's and "Swear" Words are Permitted in Videos - as long as the posts follow the guidelines of Rule #1. No Swear Words / Cuss words are permitted in Text Posting.

    We truly value a sense of Community Spirit & Open Conversation with Respect for other members.

    Here at the Studio Forums, we pride ourselves on building a fun, and safe environment for our visitors & members alike. The Sparks Studio also makes a special effort to Reward Community Members that show excellence in both the world of Radio Control, and in Assisting other members with Kindness and a good sense of humanity!

    Like any community, RCSparks has certain standards. When members join our forums, they agree to abide by these rules. To remain a part of the RCSparks community, members must be considerate of others. Repeated violations of these guidelines set forth below may result in a member being put on moderated status or, if the violations are extreme then access may be temporarily or permanently restricted to our forums.






    1) TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:

    Although discussion forums encourage a wide range of opinions, please keep your posts focused on the topic of the thread and related to the forum you are submitting your message.

    The RCSparks Forum's chosen language is English. All other languages are subject to removal.

    Each forum has a different topic, so what is appropriate in one forum or thread may not be appropriate in another.


    *** NEW ADDITION - October 1st 2012, Motion Passed by Community Poll -

    "Thread Titles" should be informative and give a short description about the content of the thread. One word thread titles like "wohoo" or "Help" are NOT allowed. A moderator will rename or delete your thread if you dont follow this rule. A good title might be "Wohoo, look at this fun video of my Wraith" or "I need help with my servo on my Honcho". Excessive PUNCTUATION is also a "No-No" Example : "Wraith!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A thread like this will be Title Changed, or deleted without Notice.

    These are the Reasons why this rule is IMPORTANT.

    a) It will make the forum easier to search
    b) It will make the forum easier to navigate
    c) It will make it easier to locate an old thread
    d) It will raise the amount of visits and replies on your threads



    2) INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE:

    The use of Language is PERMITTED at RCSparks - but it is not to be used to directly insult other members in a derogatory way. As mentioned in above rules - We all know cuss words exist - and as this is intended as an open site for Teens & Adults - We will monitor Language - But videos or posts may contain PG-13 Content. This is at the discretion of Moderators and Admin. Direct threats, or disrespectful content is NOT Permitted forwards other members. Inflammatory behaviour, or "Bullying" will be dealt with swiftly.

    Inappropriate or offensive language includes, but is not limited to, any language or content that is sexually oriented, sexually suggestive or abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, profane, hateful, or that contains racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind. We ask that you please be considerate to other members in the forums when posting your messages.

    We will not allow linking, mention or reference to any website or organization that contains any of the aforementioned objectionable content. Any posts or links made to websites containing such will be removed and a warning given.



    3) SPAMMING

    Yup, I said it. We all know what it is - but for those that don't - here is the RCSparks Definition:


    1. A newbie to an online forum who goes into overtime posting many short and usually meaningless posts in an attempt to raise their post count to pass the newbie stage ASAP.

    2. A type of trolling or board saboteur where the intent of the person is to invade the forum with an annoying presence.

    3. A person, who feels their higher post count gives them added credibility in the forum, even over people who have contributed for much longer and as such they go to great lengths to increase their post count.

    NOTE - "Copy and Pasting" messages from thread to thread, other forums, or the internet itself, or Double Posting is Strictly prohibited. This falls into Copyright areas, and infringement of other peoples / producers rights.

    To Keep our readers and member happy - we minimize the "clutter", and only keep quality content. The RCSparks Studio is about individual promotions of creativity - and your post must reflect that - Creativity. If it is judged by Forum Management, including Moderators, to be deemed as an "effortless" post - it will be removed without warning, or notification.




    4) CHEATING IN SITE CONTESTS:

    Fortunately, this has not happened yet! Yaaaaaay! But in any community, there are times when one person can spoil it for others - so as a part of our community guidelines we include "No Cheating". For each contest that the RCSparks Studio does, there is a common understanding that all folks are EQUAL when entered, and if someone is caught cheating or BEING A DICK - they will be automatically removed from the contest, and added to the PUBLIC CHEATERS LIST.

    They can either choose to be a part of the PUBLIC Cheaters List, OR, be permanently banned from our forums. if the offense is deemed very malicious towards others - Management may do both. As the RCSparks does not have an OFFICIAL CHEATERS list - know now that if the person (s) are caught cheating - they will be the FIRST name on the list for people around the world to see.

    There is an easy way not to be on the list though! Just be good and fair to one another!!



    5) HARASSMENT & FLAMING:

    RCSparks members are not permitted to harass or "flame" other members. Please do not post or transmit any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including, but not limited to, any material which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offence, violate the rights of others, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law. Please note that this also includes the posting of taunts on a forum solely for the purpose of demeaning that forum's topic and/or members.




    6) COPYRIGHTED OR TRADEMARKED MATERIAL:

    It is illegal to post any content that is copyrighted or trademarked, unless you hold the copyright or trademark. Any material protected by copyright may not be posted in the message boards without the expressed permission of the author or owner of the copyright on that material. This includes reproducing the full text of news stories, articles, etc. It is acceptable to provide a link to copyrighted material, to post brief excerpts, or to paraphrase other works, though we do strongly encourage you to cite the original source whenever possible.




    7) PIRACY OR UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES:

    This community forum is a place for ideas and constructive participation, and not a place to violate any laws or to discuss illegal activities. This type of activity includes, but is not limited to, advocating or asking for information regarding software piracy or unauthorized emulators of software or hardware, sharing or distributing viruses, licenses, registration information, software keys, "cracks," or other information designed to do harm to or allow unlawful access to any computer hardware, software, networks, or any other systems. Please refrain from posting this kind of message.




    8) RELIGION, POLITICS & FORUM POLITICS:

    There is enough of a difference of opinion in both of these areas - our community chooses not to engage in discussions about these two topics. The RCSparks Studio forums is not to be used as a platform to promote, defend, discuss or otherwise religious views, political ideology, or situational / geographic area Laws. Any thread or posts deemed to be unuitable content will be removed by the management team, and a warning to the poster maybe issued. The RCSparks Moderator team reserves the right to USER Account Banning, Removal, Warn, or Otherwise. Forum Politics include: Bashing other sites, Causing unrest among other members, or any written thread/ post in what as deemed "Disrespect" for the Forum Administration Team. People Registering under false Age, or posting "a Parent gives consent" is NOT allowed, and the profile will be banned permanently. Minimum Age requirement is 13 years old.





    9) PRIVATE MESSAGING:

    While the topics may vary all RCSparks forum etiquette rules apply to private messaging. All rules that are broken via private messaging will be dealt with in the same fashion as if they were posted on the forum itself. The Private Messaging system is not to be used by members to Solicite Money or otherwise. Members in violation of this guideline will be in breach of RULE #1, and will be immediately banned - for length of time determined by a senior Forum Administrator.



    10) ADVERTISING & "COMMERCIALIZED" Posting / Videos

    The RCSparks Studio Forums does Not allow unsolicited commercialized videos and advertising to be posted in the Forums. Our definition of Commercialized: "Video's, Photo's, and Posting's promoting other Websites, Forums, or Products to gain a higher recognition for a specific business or organization, for profit." This is a loose term / definition, yet falls under RULE #1. This forum is about community, and promoting individual film makers. Not for promoting other websites / forums and products for a manufacturer(s).

    If you are interested in contacting the Studio for potential Advertising and Commercial opportunities, that is available on a structured vasis. Please click HERE to contact us directly.


    11) Selling and Trading in the Forums are reserved for Elite Members only. Information on Elite Club Membership can be found here:

    Support RCSparks.

    Registered non-Elite Members can request to buy items in the "Wanted: Awesome RC Stuff" section.

    However, any post or replies that offers a trade or sale will not be allowed and will be deleted accordingly.


    12) BULLSH!T

    RCSparks and the Community are expected to respect each other, and treat new and senior members with Fairness. Asking for personal donations from members, requesting free RC's from other members, Linking to External Sites other than in specified areas, using the forums for personal financial gain, re-routing visitors / traffic away from RCSparks, or other Any actions that are deemed to be in violation of this guideline will be dealt with on an event to event basis. Any major violation of anybodies rights to feeling comfortable in our community will be considered to be in breach of RULE #1. For more information about Rule #1, go to the top of this page and start reading again.



    *** If you read that someone is violating these rules, or you would like to report a post directly - please send any of our Moderators a PM, or "report" the posts. (There is an area to do this in the right on the thread)





    Thank you for your understanding my friends, and let's keep our Community a Fun and Safe place for all !

    ...we know you appreciate it.

    LOL ""Crawler Ted" is Excluded from this Rule." Thats hilarious haha!

    RCSparks and Baal like this.

    A man hasn't any idea what his soul looks like until he gazes into the eyes of the woman that he's married to. And then, if he's any kind of decent human being, he spends the next couple of days throwing up. Because no honest man can stand that image.

    I actually like the rules on here because it keeps this forum a really positive place.. A lot of the forums i go on people are always talking trash on everybody so i dont even bother posting because I really dont feel like having my day ruined because someone on the internet decided to do so..

    My friend, i get mixed reviews on people feelings about the rules. And truly, it doesn't matter what they think.

    We make a community that is friendly, tough, and fun for people to come to .. and as long as the people treat each other with respect.. then Im a happy forum owner.

    if You spit in someones face, expect to be punished by the community. if you wanna play nice.. you're welcomed into the family.

    Thanks for the comment bro.. welcome!

    MEDiC the RULES are what make this place what it is. The RULES are what make this the best place to be. I can come here and not feel ridiculed for my ideas and thoughts. That to me makes this the single best forum anywhere, period. well maybe two periods.. but not three, cuz that would mean there's more to what I have to say...

    Hey Medic, i like the rules that are in place. It ensures that the atmosphere in this cyber community stays warm and inviting(ah the warm fuzzy feeling). I am a member on a couple of other forums for my car and truck. I have to say that this site and customdakotas.com are the only sites that are this respectful and inviting.

    Wish there was a way that you could block use of anything else on this forum until new members read or at the very least perused this thread. That way they wouldn't skip right over it.

    Links to rc parts web sites to show a part or where to find something is fine.
    Thanks for asking.
