Forum Guidelines

 

The following are basic rules of conduct that users of Edmonton Ultimate Players Association (EUPA) Forums (the "Forums") are required to adhere to. Failure to comply with these rules of conduct may result in the termination ("banning") of your Forums account. Because every situation is different, all moderation of the Forums is at the discretion of the EUPA web admins and the EUPA Board. These rules are subject to change.
 

1. While participating in the Forums, you must respect the rights of others to participate in the community. To this end you may not harass, defraud, threaten or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other members. This includes, but is not limited to:
 

Name-calling or other insults

Posting with the intent of provoking another user or users

Flaming another user for their spelling or grammar

Bringing disagreements with someone into unrelated threads
 

2. You may not use sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially, nationally or ethnically offensive language. You may not deliberately misspell, or substitute punctuation or other special characters in, filtered words to circumvent the filter.
 

3. You may not distribute or spotlight sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially, nationally, or ethnically offensive content. This includes posting links to sites which contain any of the above.
 

4. You may not impersonate any EUPA Board Member/Committee Member, past or present.
 

 5. You may not violate any local, provincial, national, or international laws or regulations.

8. Making short posts for the sole purpose of moving your thread up the Forums ("bumping") or adding to your post count is not allowed.
 

9. You may not upload or transmit copyrighted material, without the express consent of the copyright holder.
 

10. You may not post the personally identifiable information of another user, including but not limited to their real name, address, phone number, email address, or links to personal websites without the express consent of that user.
 

11. You may not re-post Private Messages on the Forums without the express consent of the sender.
 

12. Discussion of religious or political topics is prohibited on the Forums.
 

13. Do not re-post or quote any materials which violate the Forum Guidelines.
 

14. Please do not respond to posts made by trolls. Use the Report Abuse function by clicking on the 'Report Abuse link at the bottom right of the post. A definition of Trolling can be found at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll 

 

15. Users are entitled to one primary account. While secondary accounts are allowed, any account created for the purpose of trolling or otherwise violating these Forums Guidelines will result in the permanent ban of the secondary account and the temporary or permanent ban of the primary account, at the moderators' discretion.

 

16. We do not discuss disciplinary actions taken against members either with other members or on the forums, and we ask that you do not either. Any threads or posts that mention infractions/bans etc. will be removed and might result in further disciplinary action.
 

17. We do not allow post hijacking in any way. Posting to an existing post with completely irrelevant information or to steer the post to towards something completely different is strictly not allowed. Keep all posts relevant to the topic you are posting with in.  Get a free prize if you read this, email webadmin@eupa.ca and you state what forum you read this in.

 

Posts that are deemed in violation to the rules above will be removed from the forums. 

 

All visitors to the Forums are logged by IP address. We may occasionally ban a user by their IP address. Further abuse by users who have been IP banned will result in an abuse report to the user's internet service provider.
