General
Forum Rules:
These rules apply to all
Forum categories.
- We take the "Be Polite" rule very
seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally
unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.
- If you SPAM our members in
any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone to suggest
your product or service who is not explicitly expecting you to contact them
from a forum post.
- Your account is yours alone. You are
responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account
login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your
account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled.
- All publicly displayed messages are limited to
the English language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any
attachments or other forms of public display.

of showing a signature that advertises a product or service, as determined by moderators) is forbidden in all
forum categories.
- You may not post commission, referral or
affiliate links anywhere on the forum.
- Cross-Posting is not allowed here.
Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate threads or posts, or the
linking to threads or posts already started by the member with the intention
of gaining exposure.
- You may not compensate anyone for any review
or recommendation. Further, you may not suggest a tone ( i.e. "Go talk
good about us on PaganRadio.net" )

member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages,
signatures, and e-mail features.
- You may not post words or URLs that are
censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other
means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by PaganRadio.net.
Please contact
us if you
feel a word or URL is unjustly censored.
- You may not link, in any manner, to sites or
images containing pornography, sexually explicit, gross violence, or are
determined by moderators to be detrimental to the community.

posting useless information, posting one-liners or any other action to
deliberately keep a thread hot or to bring it to the top of its forum.
Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post,
as to whether to take action or not.
- You may not use discussions to recommend,
praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without
first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies
recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria
will be removed without notice.
- Any posts that encourage illegal intent will
be removed and the account disabled.
- Public posts debating these rules and/or
moderators' enforcement of such, will be removed without comment. We
encourage feedback however and invite you to use our contact
us page if you have any questions or concerns.

of partners, clients, employers or friends.

- You may not solicit the membership for
feedback or suggestions on your product or services.
- You may not solicit users for any project or
purpose external to the forum; public, private, or commercial. Most
importantly our member base is not a resource to be "mined" by
individuals, groups, or businesses, for profit or not for profit.
- You may only discuss details about your
company and/or product offerings when the thread starter or poster has made
direct reference to your company and stated something untrue or misleading,
or something which clearly needs clarifying. The response must be in direct
reference to the point discussed only and contain no added promotional
information and/or fluff. It is advisable when in the above scenario
to contact us first.
