COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Here on theVPN, we try to be as positive and welcoming as possible. To make sure that is successful, TheVPN has created a few community guidelines, in which all forum members are required to abide by.
No Spam
Please refrain from spamming the board with self-promotive posts, links, and other topics for personal gain. There is a section on the forum that accepts these types of posts, but spam should not be found anywhere else. Failure to comply with this rule may result in a warning. Multiple infractures will result in either suspension, or ban.
Section for Self-Promotion can be found here.
SPAG Check
TheVPN, being a community of readers and writers, should present itself as such, which means it's members should practice the use of proper language when posting; Make sure, when posting to the forum, you present your thoughts in full sentences, with appropriate punctuation and sentence structure. Also, please refrain from posting 'one word' replies.
Do Your Posts "Mean" Something?
Like mentioned in the above statement, please limit yourself to posting "one word" replies. Make sure you have something to say, before you post. Please do not create threads or posts with no relevance or may be considered "pointless". When expressing your thoughts, don't simply say "I liked this" or "This sucks." Tell us what you liked or disliked about it, and then tell us why... of course, all while using proper use of language.
Cruel/Rude Behavior
For most writers, critisism is well-appreciated, but please make sure your thoughts are well structured, helpful and most importantly, constructive. Also, do not insult anyone based on their race/gender/sexuality/etc... This offense can result in suspension and in some cases, banning.
Other Offenses
- Plagiarizing another writer's work, without expressed permission from that writer or group of writers, is frowned upon and will result in immediate ban, without warning.
- Please do not spam, stalk or further harrass any member of the board. Multiple offenses, provided the victim reports the offense, can result in suspension or ban.
- Creating multiple accounts for the purpose of self promotion, spam, etc... is a bannable offense.
Thank you, in advanced, for following the community guidelines. If anyone wishes to report an offense, please contact any member of the VPN Administrative Team by Private Message via forum, Email or any other means, right away.
