Welcome to CODAdmin Forums.

Although the moderators of the CODAdmin Forums will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and CODAdmin will not be held responsible for the content of any message.

By posting in these forums, you are acknowledging and accepting these rules. They will be enforced whether you have read them or not, so do not cry that you didn't know.

?Messages which contain: racism, sexism, and any other illegal abuse of an individual's rights will be removed. Such abuse will NOT BE TOLERATED.

?No excessive profanity.
No profanity in the subject line. Do not use the F-word. Posts containing excessive profanity will either be edited or deleted by moderators. Using obscenities with references to other users is strongly frowned upon. Don't do it.

?Usernames must be appropriate.
If you wouldn't tell your mother what your username is, it most likely is not appropriate for these forums. Swearing in your username is NOT permitted. Doing so will get you banned and/or your account deleted.

?Do not spam the forums.
This includes posting an excessive amount, posting worthless drivel, bumping posts, posting the same message in two or more forums, and reviving topics that have been dead for a month or more.

?Posts and threads are to be on-topic and constructive.
Saying "I hate COD," doesn't progress the conversation or the thread. If you have a point to make, make it. Back it up. Say why you don't like such and such. Offensive threads may be edited or deleted at the moderators' discretion.

?Threads should be on topic.
If you post a Troubleshooting question in the Community Forum, expect it to be moved into the Troubleshooting Forum. There are different forums for a reason. It is to group certain posts of the same kind together and make it easier to find certain posts.

?Do not post pornography.
Do not post pictures or links to pictures and/or sites. Pornography has no place on these forums. If you post it, you will find that you too have no place on these forums.

?Do not solicit or offer warez, vcds, mp3s, or any other copyrighted material.
This includes asking for cracks, keys, or key generators. There is to be no references to breaking copyright laws as they exist in the United States or Canada.

?Any mention of money "schemes" will be removed.
Do not link to such sites in your signatures.

?Spam, gibberish, lamers & flaming will not be tolerated.
This includes posters who are deemed a detriment to the peace keeping of the forums.

?As for the rules for signature images:

1 Image
Maximum dimensions: 500 X 200
Maximum size: 40KB
No swearing, no nudity, etc

ANY (and I mean any) deviation from these rules and we will contact you and ask you to change it. If your sig is even 1 pixel over the limit, you will be asked to change it.

If an admin (RudeDog or myself) asks you to change your signature image, do it. If we decide that your signature is extremely annoying, we'll ask you to change it.

Lastly, I don't want to see anyone complaining about someone else's sig (ie: His sig is 401 X 100, so why can't mine be the same?) Everyone has to follow these rules. If someone is not complying with them, we probably just haven't noticed them yet. Just because someone else isn't following the rules, doesn't mean you don't have to follow them. That's the same thing that led to these images being turned off in the first place.

?Dont argue with moderators with regards to the moderation of these forums.
Simply put, it won't get you anywhere. If you don't like the fact that your thread was edited or deleted, don?t bother arguing because we cant get it back. It's gone - forever. Same thing with closed topics; There is simply no way to undo it. If you feel you have honestly been wronged, feel free to contact admins@codadmin.com.

Violations of these rules will get you banned; either temporarily or permanently at the discretion of the staff.

As always, use your best judgment. Remember that this is just a message board. If you find yourself getting all riled up at what some person whom you?ve never met, never will meet, and to be honest, you're not really sure if it?s a guy or girl, close your browser, leave the room and take a walk. It's just a message board.
