Welcome to PUALifestyle.
The overall mission of this forum is to provide a place for people to gather, share information, and improve upon themselves.
We have a list of really simple rules to go over, and there's no reason for anyone not to remember them because they are enhanced by this thing called 'common sense'. If you do violate the rules, you'll be issued a warning.
If you are a repeat offender, you'll be added to the banned list permanently. I know PUALifestyle is a fun place and we don't censor any profanity and/or your freedom of speech, but sometimes there are people that are just asking to be banned, and if a moderator sees fit, he has full rights to ban your ass for good. If this happens, don't come whining to us asking to re-instate your user name, because it's not coming off the list. Take this as your last warning, because if we catch you stirring trouble on a new user name, you'll be banned for life.
Here are our list of rules. Read them carefully and follow them wisely. We can only put up with so much, but we want you to have a good time and learn a lot.
Rules:
1- Use your brain. We have no patience for stupidity.
2- Don't post anything that you know will contain any excessive verbal abuse towards another member of the forum that he/she may find overly offensive or not funny. We understand the difference between an argument and a flame-war. So should you. Keep it civil, and the insults at a minimum.
3- Don't harass other members, we're all here to learn.
4- Free speech rules here. There is no censorship whatsoever. But don't paste copyright material here, because we really don't feel like getting sued over your disregard for rules number one.
5- Signatures. Affiliate links are allowed, and banners if you like. Don't make it too excessive and annoying. No audio allowed.
6- No forum promotions whatsoever, this DOES include signatures. I don't care if you own it, or your friend owns it. No advertisements for other forums are allowed without written permission from the Admins. Any suspicious forum promotion will result in a warning or 1 week temporary ban.
7- No nudity of minors. I don't care if it's legal in your country, it's not legal in mine, and even if it were, it's repulsive, so don't fucking do it. A minor is anyone under the age of 18 years old. Potential harm to minors is strictly forbidden, including but not limited to child pornography or content perceived to be child pornography (Lolita): Anyone found uploading child pornography or linking to child pornography will be suspended immediately without notice.
8- Soft-core porn or nudity in general is okay, just don't go crazy with it you perverts. Try following rule #1 for this one too. We also have a NSFW (not safe for work) post icon, which MUST be used if you're posting any adult content. You CANNOT use any other type of post icon as the thread author. Remember, we do have people surfing here from work, and don't want to get anyone fired because your stupid ass "forgot" to post it.
9- Racial slurs are not okay when you are specifically doing it to harass someone. If it's a joke, and no one reports it that they are offended, then it's fine. The English language has lots of good terms that are used in slang, so if you are offended easily, you probably shouldn't be here in the first place.
10- No spamming. If you're caught spamming, you'll be banned for life. No warnings, no second chances. Spamming is also considered when you signup specifically to self promote a thread and your post count is under 10 total. If you have a great opportunity you want to tell lots of people about, stick it into your signature and make real posts. I guarantee that you'll get a lot more interested leads this way, than ruining your reputation on this board in under 5 minutes.
11- All nudity posts must be confined to the "Shootin the Shit" or "Snapshots and Videos" area as this is the hangout place for everyone, and the other sections are meant as a means to learn or gather information.
12- No nudity or porn related stuff are allowed in signatures or avatars. Doing so will result in a temp ban until you've changed it. We are pretty serious about this stuff too, as it can get those people surfing from kid friendly environments into trouble.
13- Absolutely ZERO advertising allowed for any type of affiliate program within ALL of our forum topic sections. I don't care if you are some giant affiliate network or even the smallest merchant. We have a paid directory for this, and if you are caught doing it outside that area, we will issue you a strict warning or a ban. Affiliates are allowed to ask "would you use this and that" but if it seems spammy, we're going to investigate it, and you will likely end up with a violation of our rules and banned. Seriously, we are getting strict about this, so don't test us unless you really want to lose your account and credibility.
14- Mods and admins are not allowed to abuse their powers by changing user names, banning people they just don't like for no reason, or by doing favors for friends of theirs who are also members here. Mods are carefully chosen, and we run a pretty tight ship here, but if you are a member and feel that a mod has used his powers unfairly, you can email us directly with proof and a formal complaint. Your report will be taken seriously and dealt with anonymously. There have been no issues yet, and I don't expect any, but you never know.
15- If you come across a post or thread that looks like it's in direct violation of any of our rules, please report it. There is a reporting icon next to every post, and an email will be dispatched to the entire moderator and admin team. This is the best way to fight against spammers or people who are trying to cause trouble. If you just ignore it, it may never go answered.
Those are all of the rules for now. Please use as directed, and try not to piss anyone off.
Thanks.
The PUALifestyle Crew.
