If you post your business you are putting it out there for anyone to comment on. Make sure you can take it.
If you are not comfortable with another member's attention, There is an ignore feature that you can use when clicking
on that members profile.
We make up guidelines as we go along to modify what works for us. Since the change over to the over 18 we have kept some
of the guidlines, but not all of them.
Please note that dragging members children into the trolling arena is not allowed.
DO NOT block a moderator from your private messanger.
DO NOT change your posts back if a mod has edited it.
DO NOT unlock your thread if a mod has locked it.
-Backstage and Dangerous 18+ Forum.
By default, new members are not allowed in. They shall have to wait until they become familiar with the rest of the
board and its inhabitants. Please see the pinned Backstage and Dangerous Guidelines posted in the Severed Garden.
-Warning System
The warning system is a standard Invision feature that we have put in place to go with the Guidelines.
Beneath your name on the left, you can see 5 orange blocks, and a percentage rate.
This is your warn level. When you have been warned, one of the orange blocks will go red,
and the percentage rate will change. You can click on the percentage link and you will see
the information describing the reason for each warning given, the date, and by which Admin.
You will be banned after 5 warnings or before if necessary, depending on the offenses committed
to receive the warning).
Everyone has a warning level. However, you can only see your own. (Admins can see everyone's warning level).
So don't worry that it seems to be only you that has one.
Increasing/Decreasing warnings is at the Administrators discretion.
We hope that your warning level stays at 0% and that it never needs to be used.
Leniency however can only go so far. Please use common sense when posting.
