FORUM RULES!

[MP_OHIO]

Welcome to the premiere site for FN brand weapon information.

PREFACE:
We pride ourselves on having a friendly and smooth running site. Our main rule is... You must be civil. No personal attacks or trolling.

As a noob you are one step above a guest and on your way to become a full fledged member. You are under a probationary period until your 50th post so please treat everyone with respect.


The rules here are simple.

1. You are free to express your opinion. This is not a "fan" site hence you will not be banned if you have an opinion about any weapon, any manufacturer or any accessory. However, if/when you have something negative to say - please explain why and give examples.

2. Please do not be ignorant or use foul language. No trolling for confrontations with other members or with site admins and moderators! Do not attack other site members or moderators. ABSOLUTELY no racism or hate speech will be tolerated. Members using such may be banned immediately without warning.

3. If you have made posts on other forums you are welcome to reproduce the information here.

4. One of the main topics NOT allowed on FNForum.net is one of converting the PS90 or any other semi automatic firearm into a fully automatic one. Any posts regarding this topic will be immediately deleted and the offending member will receive 1 warning. If he/she do so again, they will be removed from the site.

5. No commercial advertisements (selling products) unless you contact an admin and become a sponsor first. It isn't fair for FNF to allow a vendor to sell their goods without first being a sponsor when other companies/vendors have paid for the privilege to advertise here. However, PERSONAL classifieds from members are allowed in the appropriate "for sale" areas of the site as long as you are not a vendor and it is your personal property you are selling. All FNA rules/firearm transfer laws apply.

6. No disparaging remarks about any other Internet Gun Forum. We don't want to be Forum Gestapo, but any such negative remarks will be deleted.

7. Under no circumstance are any members allowed to use signatures/Avatars of their's or other's business that are engaged in selling or offering services in the firearms industry UNLESS THEY ARE A FORUM SPONSOR. This includes guns, ammunition, apparel and ANY accessory.

8.AVATARS Inappropriate or overly large avatars and signature pictures can and will be deleted/resized if necessary. Keep your AVATAR sizes in the 125x130 range.

9. Please don't post photos larger than 750-800 pixels wide. Sometimes members post photos over 2000 pixels wide, and this scrolls off the screen for 90% of the members here. Management shouldn't have to go and re-size everyone's photos. Overly large photos may be deleted!

10. Any member caught using web proxy will be summarily removed from the forum. Using a web proxy is slow and hides the posters true identity (cannot be traced back). This is done for one reason and one reason only - to cause trouble.

11. Users can have only ONE screen name. Multiple screen names tracked back to the same person will have their accounts suspended.

Due to the recent proliferation of members using multiple screen names, your IP address MUST match the state that you are living in (this is only an issue if you are using a proxy, or lying about your location in order to have multiple IDs)

Finally, be aware that if your buddy posts from your computer - both of you will be suspended (as it will appear that you have multiple ID's, and we have no way to assure the truth).

12. Do not expect to have your membership approved if you have something in your profile like "part time hitman" or something else of questionable content.

13. Rule Removed.

14. It should be noted that all posts here are done so in the public domain. Once you make a statement here - it is almost the same as if you shouted it out on a street corner. It is in the public domain.

Therefore - when one chooses to leave our forum or is banned (for violating the rules), requests to "delete all of your previous posts" will not be entertained. Threatening to sue will do no good as well, as you would have no legal basis to do so. If you are worried about the content of your posts - you shouldn't have made the posts to begin with.

15. Messages glorifying drug use will not be allowed (this should be obvious). This rule will be strictly interpreted by the Admins and Moderators of this site. Action taken pursuant the violation of this rule is not up for debate. This is a weapon website first and foremost. Such activity does not belong here.

16. Posts with broken links or broken pictures will be removed, regardless of content.

17. "Noobs" with a single negative Reputation/Karma will be banned automatically. A Member requires minimum 50 posts to be upgraded from NooB status to a Member. Consider a NooB status as your probation period. Be polite, consider yourself on thin ice and all will be fine.

18. "Members" with more negative than positive Reputation/Karma will be placed on a timeout or banned automatically.

19. Members abusing Reputation/Karma as a reprisal tool will be banned. A reason has to be given each and every time a negative Karma is issued and the reason shall be valid and void of prejudice.

20. It is STRONGLY advised that FNF sponsors conduct discussions in their own sub-forum unless asked a question outside their respective jurisdiction. Sponsors control their own sub-forum and thus have complete latitude in moderating and starting threads. Any FNF sponsor has the latitude to defend/comment on their product under the appropriate FNF rules of conduct - in any of the FNF's forums, should they feel the need to do so. FNF sponsors represent their company, their product and to some extent, FNF. Should their reputation be attacked on FNF by a member, please bring this matter to the attention of any one of FNF moderators rather than engaging the offending party. This is not a rule, rather a recommendation.

21.Banned members may have their IP address made public in service to protect other forums and forum members. IP address of posters is in the public domain.

22.If it is in the opinion of FNF moderators and/or members that forum member(s) is/are dangerous or may become dangerous, FNF reserves the right to publicize any and all information such offending party may have voluntarily provided to FNF.

23.Solicitation to violate State or Federal NFA laws, rules, statutes or posted signs - either by ignorance or willful act will be banned with extreme prejudice - WITHOUT WARNING. Holders of FFL are not permitted to solicit the purchase or sale of any gun related item(s) that are prohibited to own/sell/buy in their state by a civilian. Any such action will be reported to the FBI along with user IP.

24.Copy of News Articles - Under no circumstance is it allowed on FNF to copy entire article from another internet source verbatim and post it here. The allowed format is to summarize the story in the OP's own words or at most, copy the first sentence or two - and then provide a link to the original story AND state the authoring body. Failure to do so will result in the deletion of posted article.

25.Sale of items outside USA - no party is allowed to offer to sell, deliver or trade any firearm or firearm related item (i.e. magazines, scopes, lasers, red dots, green dots, night vision etc) outside the 50 United States of America. No buyer shall solicit the purchase of any firearm or firearm related item to be delivered outside USA.

26.Documenting problems with firearms: Any thread that deals with firearms problems or issues reported by members will be deleted if it does not contain the following information:
a. Model
b. Ammunition Used
c. Magazine Used
d. State & City where occurrence happened
e. Store bought from (if person indicate private party)
f. Used or New
g. Approximate round count when problem arose
h. photo of problem (if possible)
i. Reported to FN (yes/no)
j. Date/time of occurrence
This rule exists for the sole purpose of deterring trolls and to give credence and validity to each and every problem with a firearm.




27. FNH Logo as Avatars are reserved for FNH Company officials and FNH Company Sponsors only.

UPDATE:

Please keep your AVATAR size in the 125x135 range. If your Avatar is too large it disrupts the format of the threads. I have resized many on here already. If your avatar is missing, it is because it is too large. You may resize it and re-upload it. If We find your Avatar in poor taste, you will get a PM explaining why.

Thank you, MP.
