New Moderators - 2008-05-01
I am pleased to announce that we have added to more moderators to the team:D We would like to welcome our new mods [B]24/7(John)[/B] and [B]Shaobo(Ed)[/B] to the team. I think I can speak for the other mods and admins in saying that the extra help sure will be greatly appreciated.
So raise the flags and sound the alarms and give a big welcome to the new mods:D BCA Rules **READ BEFORE POSTING** - 2008-04-10
Before posting on BCAquaria.com, please read, follow and understand the following rules. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the website or the rules that we have made, please contact one of the Administrators (Nicklfire, BCaquaria, Onur).
We hold the right to change any of the rules, these are guidelines and are not written in stone. We will make neccessary adjustments to the rules as they neccessary.
Policy: Depending on the circumstances and rules that are broken by members, consequences will vary.
Rule 1: Every member who chooses to post and view this board must agree to respect every member who is a part of this forum. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and everyone is entitled to voice their opinions. Personal attacks are frowned upon, so do not do it!
Rule 2: Excessive swearing is not permitted. BCAquaria has members who fall into different age groups, so let's keep it clean. Remember, BCAquaria is a family site and is opened to everyone, so please consider the younger viewers before posting.
Rule 3: Please post in the right section of the message board. Before you make a post, ask yourself if this is the best section to place a new thread. Any threads that we, mods and admins, feel are misplaced will be moved without warning.
Rule 4: Before making a new post, please use the search function to make sure a similar post was not already made. We reserve the right to lock threads that already exist.
Rule 5: You may not use inappropriate images on your signature or avatar. This is a family site and we would like to keep it that way. Use common sense when picking an image for your signature or avatar. Moderators and Administrators reserve the right to remove any images that we feel to be inappropriate. As well please keep website links OUT of your sig, we do have a section for "other websites" which your free to promote your site or any other one. Sig's become too cluttered especially with 100 links on a single thread.
Rule 6: You may not oversite your avatar or signature picture. The maximum size of your avatar is 80x80 pixels and no more than 10Kb. The maximum size of your signature may not exceed 400x200 pixels. You will get a warning via PM, if the problem is not fixed, we will remove it.
Rule 7: Threads that lost or is starting to lose its subject purpose will be locked. Meaning, any threads that turn into a flamming war or a thread that has gone completely south of the original subject will be locked.
Rule 8: You may not flame any local fish stores. You may state your opinions of them, but comments such as "X sucks, don't buy from them" will not be tolerated.
Rule 9: Spamming is a huge crime, don't do it or face the consequences of being banned.
Rule 10: Conflicts among our own members will happen, that's just the way humans are. We would like it if you kept conflicts off the message board and have it resolved outside. If you have a complaint about another memeber, let us know and we will do the best to fix things. Personal attacks are not tolerated! No wankstas, gangstas, e-thugs, or any other annoying behaviour.
Rule11: Do not create multi accounts, we can track all history through your ip address and we can figure out if your using 2 user names. It creates alot of work for moderators and admins to cleanup the mess after. There is no reason why you need 2 accounts. You can be banned for this offense.
Remember that other sections of the message board may have rules of their own. Eg. Buy/sell boards will have additional rules, please read those before posting in those boards as well.
Administrators and Moderators hold the right to delete, lock, and control the direction of threads. If you have any questions or concerns about a thread being locked, please contact a moderator or a Administrator. We are open to your opinions and if we feel that we made a mistake by locking a thread or anything else, we will definitely consider reversing our decision.
Administrators and Moderators are here to make this a better forum for everyone. Please respect the work that we do, but remember we are only humans and do make mistakes. If you feel that we made a mistake, we would love to hear from you.
If you have any comments or suggestions regarding these rules, please contact any of the administrators or moderators.
You are all important to the developement of this website and we want you to feel comfortable here. Stay On Topic - 2008-04-07
All member's read these rules:D

Noticing lately alot of people are jacking other members ad's and going way off topic on many threads. Makes it difficult to learn from a thread and for the OP to get answers to their questions when members keep going off the topic. For sellers it is also quite frustrating when their ad's get jacked and questions and video's are posted that have nothing to do with the original ad. If you have a question you would like to ask of the seller that is off topic from their ad then just simply pm them instead of cloggin up their ad's.
We can be pretty lenient here most of the times but when these things keep happening even though we politely ask for it to stop we are gonna be forced to start handing out infractions
Cheers
