My rule: THIS IS MY PLACE!

I pay, I work on it, so no one will give me a hard time without being shown the door. Don't let anyone give you a hard time. My mods and myself are the ones in charge with everything, so we have all the duties and rights that come with this.

I have also stated some of this in my rules to make sure:

Warning and banning

The staff team at 'Webmaster Tips & Tricks' is trying to provide you with a safe and nice place to learn about development and share your experience. We delete any content we find unsuitable, edit links and signatures when we find them to break the rules. Signatures that don't comply with the rules will be edited with the text 'Please read the guidelines for signatures!'. This is a sign you put a smilie, or too many links, or a link we found to be breaking the guidelines.

Spam is deal with the most severely. If a member is being caught spamming the PM system or the forums or posting illegal content on the forums, he can lose his account instantly. For posts and threads that break the guidelines the member will receive a notification PM to find out what guidelines he broke.

Respect the staff and don't question the measures.

Since most of our members are educated webmasters and some even forum admins themselves we expect to have no problems with respect. The staff is chosen from the best members here, they are devoted to the forums, they know the community and they are spending their time to help this community grow. This is why respect towards them is mandatory and will be enforced. Should you think you were mistreated or fail to see what guidelines you broke, please send a polite PM to inquire about the issue. Being disrespectful towards the staff will cause instant account termination. As a general rule we don't explain why we take some of the administrative measures we take, but we are still willing to offer some input in private. Don't start threads in the forums about this. They will get deleted.

Account termination

As a member in the community you benefit from a lot of features. Your activity here must be within the guidelines. Your activity here is not mandatory and we understand that you might have other things to take care of and not only stay and post here. This is why we find the 'good-bye' threads to be inappropriate in this case. You are not required to be here day by day, you can return after weeks and months and find your posts and account as they were before. We treat the 'good-bye' threads as 'drama posts' and delete them on sight.

We don't delete accounts. Please don't ask us to remove your posts since we don't do this. As a member in the forums you participate in the discussion and also promote yourself. Your posts become the property of Wtricks.com as soon as they have been made. We have the right to edit, delete and keep them here, but we won't post them elsewhere. Should you wish to be no longer linked to the site, we'll edit your account with a general nickname and delete all your personal information. After being edited your account will have banned status and you won't be able to re-join the community in the future.

Aggressive Behaviour

Aggressive behaviour towards members, or staff will not be tolerated. We don't accept any forms or verbal aggression, foul language or flame wars. Please make sure you are using a common sense language and don't get involved in altercations with other members. Should you feel like a post was directed to you and you consider that to be offensive, please notify the Administrator through a PM. Replying to the offence in the thread makes you as guilty as the member who initiated the attack.

Seems like it's keeping them in a decent behaviour ...
