MESSAGE BOARD RULES

To help sustain our thriving On-line Community and create an atmosphere that NHS will always be our loving home, we would like to discuss the important rules of use for NHS On-line Community Message Board and how as a family we should work together to maintain harmony with others.  

As a reminder regarding Your "Rights" at This Forum: Officially, the only rights you have here are the rights we provide to you. This is an on-line community website and it is run in the way we believe is most appropriate to facilitate our over-all goals. We further believe that by setting rules we are protecting the over-all rights of NHSOC majority.  

Remember, if you invite someone into your house or place of business, they are to respect your values and your code of conduct. If you do not like swearing, that person will not swear. If you prefer that someone not discuss religion or politics, that person will not. If that person does not like your house rules, then that person may not return to your house.  

This site is our home and you are our valued guest. We very much would like you to enjoy your time here -- all that we ask is that you respect our house rules. If you find that the rules are not to your liking, then it may be appropriate for you to not participate. You are free to set up your own website and implement your own set of rules.  

Also, there is usually a way to express your opinion without breaking the rules or offending anyone. Sometimes you just have to work a bit harder to make it happen! The rule of the thumb of course, is to always be polite!!  

Thank you for taking the time to read the NHS On-line Community Message Board's Rules of Use. We've put together a very comprehensive set of rules for the use of this message board, and have broken it down into two sections:  

We strongly encourage all current members of the NHS On-line Community Message Board to read through the Full Message Board Rules at least once, and refresh your memories by reviewing The Nine Commandments of the Message Board on a periodic basis.  

These rules are subject to change at any time, however a notification will be posted in regards to any rule changes/additions as it occurs.  

Thank you for reviewing and abiding by these rules.

________________________________________  

Welcome to the NHS On-line Community Message Board Full Message Board Rules:

This forum and its associated features are here for the enjoyment of the NHS alumni, faculty, students, family and friends that are presented by the NHS On-line Community and those who are interested in information about our members or other NHS On-line Community materials. You are more than welcome to join up and get involved. 

Because this is a non-commercial site (meaning that we make no money from it), we have some simple rules. By entering our discussions, you agree to abide by these rules and our interpretation of them. The details are outlined below - please do read them all, but the rule of thumb here is:

Be Polite!

In essence, that's all there is to it. We respect each other. We don't insult people, we don't antagonize people, we don't swear or otherwise offend people. Any messages which is, in the opinion of our Administrator and Moderators, not suitable is subject to edit or deletion. Any visitors who continually disregard these rules may be partially or completely banned.

Go To Top

More specifically (THE NINE COMMANDMENTS OF NHSOC MESSAGE BOARD):

1. Please do not use profanity on the public forums. We are filtering for basic keywords. If you cannot say something without using profanity then please don't post.

2. Posts that are grossly racist, sexist, or bigoted are not permitted.

3. Discussion and participation in illegal activities are absolutely prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:

o Piracy (software, audio, video or otherwise);

o Distribution of Child Pornography;

o Theft or other violations of personal belongings or private information;

o Violation of copyrights.

4. No SPAM whatsoever. Announcement of events and activities for fan clubs or other special interest groups are permitted in the "Events/Calendar" forum only.

Selling of items may be conducted in the "Looking for & Alumni Networking.." forum only. If you run a commercial for-profit company or corporation and wish to advertise your company or event, please contact us privately and we can discuss advertisement on our website. Violation of this rule will result in an immediate ban from this site and notification to your Internet Service Provider. SPAM threads will be locked and placed in a hidden forum to be held in the event that your ISP requires proof of the activity and violation of their Terms of Acceptable Use.

5. No Flame Wars. Feel free to rant if you wish, but no personal attacks. Please do not post messages in which a subject will be unduly volatile or will "bait" someone into a potential flame war. This would include, but is not limited to:

o Listing who is on your Ignore List / who has you on their Ignore List;

o Using off-site resources as flame bait;

o Abuse of message board functions and/or resources.

o Pointing fingers at someone or more as a flame bait

6. No Adult Content in the general forums (except for the NHB forum whose access is by special subscription only. No underage allowed!!)

7. While we enjoy humour and going off topic on other parts of the board these sections should try to restrict to ON TOPIC responses as necessary.

8. Posts which violate the NHS On-line Community's contracts with other companies or individuals will be removed at the sole discretion of the Site Administrator or Moderators. Examples may include advertising other hotels, parking, restaurant, etc. that the event may have an agreement to not promote.

9. Public objections to the methods in which the Site Administrators or Moderators of the NHS On-line Community Message Board perform their duties is strongly discouraged. Public dissention does nothing to correct a problem. If you find that you are in disagreement with the methods employed by a Site Administrator or Moderator, please contact someone from the Administration and Moderating Team PRIVATELY and discuss the matter with them, please do not call for or conduct a public inquiry into the matter.

The authority of the Site Administrators and Moderators of the NHS On-line Community Message Board is absolute. You are strongly encouraged to adhere to the guidelines set forth in these rules and to requests made by the Site Administrators or Moderators of the message board itself.

Signature Lines

Signatures and any other graphics posted to the message board should not contain any offensive materials, such as but not limited to: sexual material, rude language, political, etc.

About "Free Speech"

This does not apply to private individuals or organizations, and most assuredly does not apply to the NHS On-line Community Message Board. In fact, free speech does not give you the right to publicly say whatever you like -- it actually has many limitations.

There are more laws governing what you can't say than what you can.

You have the right to certain religious, political and other beliefs, and you have the right to express your opinions in an appropriate way without fear of oppression -- which means you can demean, insult, slander, character assassinate or offend other people. You cannot give away personal information which is not your own. You cannot publish adult-only material in a public manner. You cannot publish racist or hateful material. You cannot force your opinion on other people against their will. And so, there are many, many things you can't do.

In addition, although you may have the legal right to express a certain opinion in a public place, this does not mean you have any legal right at all to express this same opinion on someone else's property nor in someone else's publication, nor at the NHSOC website.

Go To Top

Censorship

This is a touchy subject but there's no doubt that a certain amount of discretion is required to make these forums enjoyable and productive for the maximum audience. Of course, there are also legal issues involved.

We will edit or delete any message which, in our opinion, falls into any of the following categories:

• Commercial or Bulk Messages

• Offensive, Insulting or Slanderous Messages

• Fraudulent Messages

• Accusations of Illegal or Improper Conduct

• Disclosing Personal Details Without Consent

• Annoying Messages and "Trolling"

Likewise, the Administrator and Moderators of the NHS On-line Community Message Board reserve the exclusive rights to split any message thread that has gone off-topic or otherwise needs to be relocated due to content to another area of the message board. Site Administrator and Moderators DO NOT require permission of the original author(s) to split message threads.

Go To Top

Suspending Users

In the event that a user violates any of these Terms of Acceptable Use we may elect to impose restrictions on a user, which will be based on these rules of punishment:

Stage One: The user will be disallowed access to the message board for 1 week;

Stage Two: The user will be disallowed access to the message board for 2 weeks;

Stage Three: The user will be disallowed access to the message board for 1 month;

Stage Four: The user will be banned and permenantly disallowed access to the message board.

Attempts to circumvent the judgment of the Site Administrator or Moderators will result in an immediate Stage Three action. One further offense will result in immediate a permenant ban from the message board.

System Maintenance

From time to time, even the most well designed and running systems require maintenance conducted to them in order to maintain a high level of stability and reliability. Periodic maintenance, upgrades and various other activities will be conducted by our Site Administrator. Such maintenance includes server hardware and software upgrades, database upgrades, web site upgrades, and cleaning of inactive user accounts (any account which has not been used in 6 months plus 1 day is a candidate for removal, without notification, unless prior arrangements have been made with the Site Administrators.)

The Site Administrator will do her best to notify the user community on the NHS On-line Community Message Board of such maintenance, upgrades and other activities in an appropriate manner, with a minimum of 24 hours advance notice, unless an emergency situation arises.

Message Board Moderator

This Free NHSOC Message Board is generally open and as of this date we have been blessed to have our monthly moderators (together with our Permanent MOD Team) running our forums smoothly. Moderators will step in when necessary in order to keep the peace whenever we feel the need for it. Keep in mind, that "mods" are not referees. We will not take sides in a fight, nor will we get in the middle of one. Rather, the mods are in place to nip potential problems in the bud, and will depend heavily on your own common sense and sense of decency and caring. Currently we are looking for volunteers in becoming a Forum Moderator. This wonderful “title” is now available to those who think they’re up for the challenge. If you are interested on this very rewarding “title”, please send us  e-mail  at nhsqcalumni@gmail.com   indicating your interest and your schedule availability.  Thank you!  

The decisions of our future mods will be final. Our goal is to help this Message Board remain a fun and friendly place like we want them to be. Please help us by respecting our guidelines. If you’ll have a disagreement with a moderator's action in the future, please take it off Message Board and contact us privately or at nhsqcalumni@gmail.com

Message Board Rules 

FAQ Page with a set of Message Board Rules will also be located on the  Message Board  Page Header .  They are intended to make this a friendly, safe place for Novaliches High School friends & family to interact. Please familiarize yourself with the rules and respect them.  

Some of our rules are summarized below. If you have any questions about these rules, please feel free to contact us we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Please remember your fellow Message Board members' feelings, and consider those feelings before sending potentially hurtful posts. You may not always agree with or like your fellow Message Board members, but other people will. Please be courteous and keep disagreements civil and personal problems off the Message Board. Our future moderators will try and help settle on-forum problems, but we will not get involved in off-forum disagreements. We expect our Message Board members to be responsible for handling their own problems.  

A violation of the rules will result in a warning from the moderators. First offense will get a warning via private e-mail. Second offense will result in all your posts requiring moderator approval for a period of two weeks. A third offense will ban you from the Message Board forever.  

Go To Top

The following items are examples of what will result in moderator warning. These are only examples. For further information please see the FAQ and/or Rules pages (located on the Header Page of the Message Board):  

 1. Name calling, personal attacks,  and other "flames" are not allowed.

 2.Threats against Message Board members will not be tolerated in any way, shape or form, and are grounds for being immediately banned from the Message Board.

 3. Forwarding of Urban Legends, Virus Hoaxes, Chain Letters or other spam is not allowed. If you think you have received a virus warning, never never open them. We are expecting an extremely busy Message Board in the very near future, and while we will allow forwarded jokes, we wish to keep down the proliferation of false Virus warnings and Urban Legends as they unnecessarily cause distress.  

Should you feel the need to contact the moderating committee, please e-mail us at nhsqcalumni@gmail.com

Message Board Archives 

We will soon create a Message Board Archives for all older entries to make room for more newer entries through NHS On-line Community Website at http://www.nhsoc.yabbers.com

Attachments

Please don't send attachments to the Message Board. Instead, you may share files either through private e-mail. But again, members be wary of potential viruses.

Posting Images

Yes, Images can now be shown in your posts. Just upload images directly to your reply or you may also use an image link stored on a publicly accessible web server such as photobucket.com (or similar photo hosting sites)

(Note: NHS On-line Community is not in any way affiliated with Photobucket or  Imageshack.us, we are just using their free resources!)

FORUM ETIQUETTE DETAILS:

The following are not just rules but also entails common user problems. There are some important issues covered here, ranging from images, to flaming, and other issues, all explained in detail or just noted upon. I will divide this post. More might be added in the future as the need arises.

1. Flaming

We prefer if it did not occur. If it ever comes down to it, and you are deciding whether to flame or not, remember, if the general populace think it was ridiculous, you will suffer the consequences. This also includes just swearing at someone or insulting them.

Please try to remember: insult the argument if you absolutely must, but not the person.

That concludes section 1 of Forum Etiquette Details.

2. Posting Spam and Rubbish

Quite simply, please do not do it. Spam will be deleted, or similar.

3. Images and Direct Linking

There are rules that govern this too, and they must be respected for several reasons, most of which are regulated by the sites you are linking from.

Direct Linking: This is allowed by several sites ONLY, since you are limiting their bandwidth and internet speed. Muck with them, and it becomes their issue, and I as your Website Administrator must by law give your information to them if you abuse their rights. No need to worry too much though, after all, most sites that do not like it, have safeguard procedures incase of Direct Linking.

Where Can I direct link from?: Try Photobucket or Imageshack.us for anything concerning uploading. (Note: NHS On-line Community is not in any way affiliated with Photobucket or  Imageshack.us, we are just using their free resources!)

Censored Images: These include images with swearing, extreme violence, sex scenes, and pornography. Potentially, 13 year old students may cruise our website so please consider them.

Go To Top

Banners: Some people may choose to place images into their signatures as well as posts. we have no problem with this, other than size. People do not want to load an imbedded wallpaper 7 times a day to see a few new posts of about 10 bytes each in size. Images are large in size, especially when compared to text. 56'kers still exist, so please respect them.

This is the only reasonable way to make sure everything stays within the size limits. Since images can be created with high resolution, which of course in turn uses up a lot more space, images such as this may be rejected.

Since banners cannot usually be direct linked off most sites, photobucket.com is your best answer.

Another great annoyance is the pesky animations. We are referring of course, to banners and avatars. Today, there are many browsers which permit us to "Stop Animations", however, there are those still using browsers like IE, so please refrain from using animations in posts. It distracts people from reading your posts. Smilies are still fine, since they are considered "a must", and because they are small, though anything else, please think about it before you post.

Go To Top

3.1 Avatars

Please respect everyones' bandwidth, for there are some members and potential members stuck on 56K modems still. Hence, please limit the size of your avatars to up to 150 pxl only.

Another thing, moving things that spin around constantly, or those that decide to change colours at random times are also very annoying again if present in signatures and avatars.

4. Trolls & trolling

Treated just like spam, or worse. Do not do it.

So if you are a troll, or you are just wondering, you might wish to learn more about what trolling is...

And PLEASE! Don't say we didn't warn you, or not even sufficiently.
