Hullo and welcome to the library.

As on all boards of the forum, there are rules that must be followed. No, they're not guidelines, before you ask. xP

1. Respect your fellow members and their opinions. Simply because you think Harry Potter (or any other novel/series) is awful, and someone else worships it, does not mean, in any way, that you are allowed to insult them. Don't flame or feed the fire of a flame war. If there IS a flame war somewhere on this board, PM one of the Library mods (scroll down for their usernames, and links to their profiles), immediately.

2. Don't spam. SPAM: Stupid Pointless Annoying Message(s). If you spam, you will be warned. If you continue to spam, you may be striked, and your post count lowered. Do make quality posts, that are (preferably) at least three words long. Don't double-post (use the Image (edit) button if you need to add something or feel like you need to write more- however, if someone has posted after you, feel free to post again) make topics if there are already threads on the subject. (ie, don't post a topic about how great and wonderful the Lord of the Rings books are, if there is already a topic on a LotR)

3. Don't try to pass the filter. If something is censored (the censor is 'smurf'), it has been filtered for a reason- the staff thinks it is an offensive, rude, or bad word. Cheating the filter will result in you being striked. (For example, if 'box' was censored, typing in 'b0x' or 'bo><' would be considered bypassing the filter)

4. Backseat moderating is rude, and will not be tolerated. At all. To backseat mod is to hand yourself a strike. The mods are here for a reason, and trust me, we are more than capable of doing our jobs. If someone breaks a rule, PM a moderator instead of telling them off yourself. We don't bite, and we're more than happy to help you with anything you need.

5. Obey all the rules of the forum, not just this board's.

6. Polls, even those relating to books, do not belong here. They should go in Entertainment Polls.

7. Try to keep the content rated PG-13 or less, please!!

And of course, have fun. :)

Strike Policy

These forums operate a system to dissuade members from abusing the forums and/or each other. Abuse can take many forms and some of us have had first hand experience of this.

The Moderators of this forum have been empowered with the ability to award 'strike' points to members who don't follow the Terms & Conditions of the forum and any other general etiquette expected when taking part in this Community.

Therefore, if members fail to heed the Terms & Conditions of the forum, as we have seen in the past, or ignore requests from Moderators, they can expect to be jumped on.

The Moderators do not have to tell you if you have been awarded a 'strike', but they will regularly report any abuse of the Forum to the Administrators who will take action against repeat offenders.

Incase you're wondering just what might await you if you don't abide by the Terms & Conditions, then there is a simple guide below.

One strike will bring your future actions under close scrutiny by the Moderating team.

Two strikes will interest the Administrators, who will then pay special attention to you, and not in a good way.

If you manage to get three strikes, then you will find yourself banned from the forum for a set amount of time. This amount of time will depend on what you have done to earn those strikes in the first place.

Each strike thereafter, up to a maximum of six strikes will get you banned, again for a certain length of time to be determined by the Administrator dealing with you. When you reach six strikes, you're history. No discussion, no argument. The Administrator's decision is final.

Serious offences against the Forum or other users will result in an immediate ban.

All strikes will be wiped at the end of every month, apart from those with six strikes who will be permanently banned from the forums. The reasons for the strikes being awarded will be kept on file for future reference.

The vast majority of members will never get a strike as they conduct themselves perfectly respectably on the forum. The odd double post or less than three word response is not going to get you a strike. You will get a polite reminder from the Mods that you may want to carefully consider for next time, but if you respond badly to that advice, then they are perfectly within their rights to award you with a strike because of it.

We understand that people who are new to the board may make mistakes without realising it, so minor offences for those that have been here for a week or less will also be given the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks for reading.
The PPT Moderator Team.
