These Rules apply to all visitors, users and members of www.implementnams.org.
Questions regarding interpretation and application of these Rules should be directed to:
Project Facilitator: facilitator@namsproject.org
Lead Moderator: leadmoderator@namsproject.org
The moderators are all community volunteers. Their job is to keep the forums productive and positive.
In response to an unacceptable post or other action as defined here, the moderators may make edits or comments within posts containing unacceptable content. They may also remove unacceptable content and issue warnings or temporary forum bans.
All such discipline will weigh the unacceptable content or other action against the prior disciplinary record of the individual in question. The individual's attitude and further actions with respect to the incident will also be a factor.
Borderline content will be evaluated more rigorously when posted by an individual with a significant prior disciplinary record. Posts made during a "riot" or other concerted group rules-violation activity may be moderated more rigorously. In instances where an individual has multiple accounts, related posts from the second account may be considered in regard to disciplinary action for a post from the first account. Generally, repeated unacceptable posting will result in warnings, then temporary forum bans of escalating duration. Repeated temporary bans will result in a permanent ban from forums usage.
Do not edit or otherwise defeat Moderator comments. Moderator edits and comments within posts are intended to implement these forum Rules.
Do not post discussions of the board itself or of moderator decisions. If you feel the need to discuss either of these, send your questions to the above e-mail addresses.
Do not quote content of other posts which violate these rules. Do not repost threads that have been locked or deleted. Do not repost content that has been edited or deleted by the moderators.
Threads are to be in posted in their appropriate forums. Do not post substantially duplicate content across additional forums ("cross-posting").
Technical Support questions should be posted in the appropriate Community Support forum or directed to the Project Facilitator (email above). Tech Support questions posted in the other forums will be moved to Forum Use section.
Do not post threads about cheats, hacks or other internet exploits. Do not post on this subject even if it is complaints, accusations, observations or commentary. In addition, do not post links to any site that contains either content of, or other links to, cheats, hacks or internet exploits.
If you want to report what you feel is a cheat, hack or exploit, email the report with as much evidence as possible to the project facilitator.
Do not post Flame. Do not post links to pages which contain Flame or links to other links which contain Flame. Posts within a discussion-thread should be focused on to the thread topic, not against other individuals in the thread. Flame posts include hostile and negative posts directed at:
- An individual member
- An organization
- The moderators of these boards
Do not post Spam. The moderators will use their discretion to determine when a post is not intended to begin or contribute to a community discussion.
Do not post content which would not be permitted on U.S. primetime broadcast television. “Content” means everything included in your post; your written words, any picture, your signature and all direct hyperlinks, whether typed or embedded in an image. Further, “all hyperlinks” means any link you post may not go directly to any content listed below. We understand that linked pages may contain links to content in violation of these guidelines. We require users to review linked pages for obvious links to content which violates the posting guidelines and refrain from posting. Linking to a page which may contain a link to content which violates these guidelines will not constitute a violation, so long as the links themselves do not, in any way, violate these guidelines.
- Inappropriate language
- Nudity of any kind
- Sexual innuendo/ Sexist content
- Racial slurs
- Ethnic slurs
- Religious slurs
- National slurs
- Hate language
If you are unsure of what constitutes U.S. primetime broadcast television standards- for example, inappropriate nudity, play it safe and do not post it. If you need clarification, contact one of the persons in Section 1.
www.implementnams.org is multinational in coverage, and therefore must respect the laws of multiple nations. Per these legal constraints, all posted or linked content must not include certain historical symbols, names and concepts related to the government and other organizations within World War II-era Germany, including but not limited to swastikas.
Do not post content that would defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others.
Do not repost private emails or PMs without the participant’s expressed permission.
Do not post directly, or post links to any site that contains either content of, or other links to, files, programs or software that could harm another person’s computer. This includes "crash me" sites. Doing so will result in a ban.
Do not arrange for the exchange of pirated software, other copyrighted content or other illegal items or substances. This also includes links to any site that contains either content of, or other links to, pirated software or other illegal items or substances.
Do not post, publish, upload, distribute or disseminate any inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful topic, name, material or information.
