These are the rules of WellCultured.com last edited May 30, 2008. These may be subject to any time without warning.
A. General Rules
- If you are under 18 or it is illegal for you to view any material on this website, discontinue browsing immediately.
- You may be banned or otherwise limited access on this website for any reason at any time. Access and enjoyment of WellCultured is a privilege, not a right.
- Absolutely no material will be posted or referenced that violates United States law. This includes but is not limited to:
- Illegal pornography, including child pornography
- Guides or other instruction material for illegal acts, including bomb-making, rape, etc.
- Copyrighted material that is clearly not provided to the general public domain. While pictures from other websites are fine, material that is obviously not to be posted (illegal torrents, scans of books, etc).
- Advertisement in any form is prohibited unless approved in writing by the owner of WellCultured.com
- All posts and comments are expected to maintain a reasonable level of quality. Any material posted by any user that appears to be malicious, intentionally false, or otherwise rude will be removed, and the user is subject to punishment at the site’s discretion.
- Swearing and use of rude euphemisms is to be kept to a minimum.
- Flaming or harassment of users is prohibited.
- You are expected to follow the rules of the Comment Policy when posting comments on any section of the website.
B. Guide Rules
- The WellCultured guide is meant to be a special place for talented individuals, not a Wiki for all users. That being said, the expectation of quality and behavior is extremely high.
- Membership in the guide is extremely monitored. If you do not provide worthy material (or otherwise post material that we do not find appropriate), we will remove your account. Examples of infringement of this policy include:
- Posting information known to be false.
- Posting information that is either generally incorrect or inappropriate for the userbase- for example, writing a guide on “how to dress Cyber Punk”.
- Rampant misspelled words, poor formatting, cut-and-paste material, or otherwise bad form.
- You are to edit the Wiki with the full expectation of being edited. Revert-wars and other forms of “pissing contests” are forbidden. In the event of an issue, both users may be banned.
C. Forum Rules
- Before you post, check if a similar post exists, ESPECIALLY for self-help threads. Chances are, we’ve already answered a question on the “friend zone” (300 times).
- While we’re open to letting you customize your account, do not post inappropriate or annoying icons or signatures.
- For the sake of ongoing discussion, do not post in threads that have clearly ended or ones that are old.
