The BigBlueBall forums are governed by the following policies. Please read through them before posting. Also refer to our Posting Guidelines.
Etiquette
Take time to read our posting guidelines; they outline the basic rules for posting. Treat other members with civility and respect. Profanity, obscenity and pornography are not tolerated. This is a public forum and we want it to remain a friendly place where all kinds of people can feel comfortable.When posting, please remember that these forums are not chat rooms! Please communicate clearly and avoid posts that don’t add anything to the topic (this especially includes one-word posts like “Cool!”).
Linking
Links to other sites is not only permitted, but encouraged! Linking is one the great things about the Internet. Just make sure the linked site does not contain pornography, warez or promote illegal activities, or we’ll delete it. If you have a link related to instant messaging, smileys, chat or webcams, please submit it to our links directory.Signatures
Signatures allow you to automatically attach your name, a favorite quote or link to the end of all your posts. You can link to an image in your signature, but it may not contain animation. Linked images must be no larger than 460 pixels wide by 31 pixels tall, and under 8k in size. You can link to your homepage or favorite site, but you can’t use it for advertising. Limit your signatures to several lines. We reserve the right to edit signatures that we consider too big, flashy or “loud.”Avatars
Your avatar appears next to your forum name in each of your posts. Use it to add a little personality to your posts! We have a library of avatars to select from, and when you have reached 10 or more posts you can upload your own avatar image up to 96 x 96 pixels.Privacy
We respect your privacy. We collect your email address when you register in order to validate your account and provide occasional email updates from us, but you won’t be added to any spammer lists; not from this site! I hate spam!Our forums use cookies to save settings for the forums and improve your experience here. When you log out, the cookie is deleted.
In the same way, we expect you to respect the privacy of other members. Do not post personal information for other members, including email addresses, phone numbers, etc.
Warez, Hacking and Cracking
Don’t ask for us to help you crack a password, or hack into someone’s account. Don’t request illegal software. Any such requests or discussions will be summarily deleted by the forum staff. There are plenty of sites out there that discuss these topics; BigBlueBall isn’t one of them.Warnings
Every action carries a consequence. We reserve the right to delete or edit posts that violate these policies, or dock your post count. As a last resort, we will close the account of repeat abusers.If you have questions about these policies, please contact [email protected].
