Why are rules & a moderation
needed?
The rules and the moderating team are here to keep the message
board a fun, positive place to socialize and share information. Many
forums fall apart after becoming consumed by petty squabbling or
having useful information drowned in a sea of stupidity and
nonsense, and that is the fate we are actively trying to avoid. We
are ready to treat you like a mature, responsible adult, and if you
behave as such, you won't have any problems here.
