Forum Rules & Guidlines
Admin on Mon Sep 21, 2009 3:25 pm
The isourcetextures.com forums Terms & Conditions are intended to help create an atmosphere in which freedom of speech is balanced by self discipline and a mature attitude to discussion.
We encourage people to join these discussions and it would therefore be very surprising if exchanges did not occasionally become a little heated. Discussion Moderators are available to help you to get the most out of participating in online discussions and to ensure that these rules are observed.
By participating in these forums, you are deemed to have agreed to abide by these rules. Although the Moderator cannot take responsibility for monitoring every message that is posted, we must reserve the right to remove posts submitted from anyone who repeatedly ignores these rules.
1. Personal Identification:
All messages sent to a discussion will require your username and password, chosen at time of registration. Do not represent yourself as another person.
2. Use of Language:
Messages should not be malicious or designed to offend. In particular, the use of swear words discouraged. By participating in any discussion, you undertake to indemnify isourcetextures against any liability arising from any obscene, defamatory, seditious, blasphemous or other actionable statement published by you on this site and against all damages, losses, claims and costs (including without limitation fines and expenses arising out of or incurred in conducting or defending any proceedings) arising from any such actionable statements.
3. Conduct of Discussion:
The Discussion Forum is intended primarily for topics relating to the graphic design, CG 2D 3D artwork, photography and game development ( to name a few topics )
Please try to keep to the topic.Your message should be within the scope of the subject under discussion. If you make a contribution that is inappropriate to the subject under discussion, you may be directed by the Moderator not to raise the matter further or to raise it within a separate discussion group. No reference should be made to the personality of other participants in a discussion nor should attacks be made on an individual's character unless the person concerned has already chosen to bring his or her personality into the issue under discussion. One to one arguments, disagreements and disputes of a personal nature must be conducted through private IM/PM/email and not through public discussion. You should remember that you are legally responsible for what you write.
