    Forum Rules The Front Row Crew/GeekNights forums are a little different from other online communities, in that they will never be allowed to descend to the depths so common on "teh internets." The rules are simple:

    1. Be mindful of your grammar and spelling.
    2. Post intelligently
    3. Don't be annoying.

    Failure to abide by these rules will result in warnings and an eventual banning.

    Specific Guidelines:

    • If a thread already exists for a particular topic, post there rather than making a new thread.
    • Unless it is relevant to your argument, don't admonish other forum members about their grammar or spelling: our moderators will handle that.
    • Don't post unless you have something to contribute. Otherwise empty "QFT" posts are considered annoying (see above).
    • You have the ability to change your forum name and avatar at will. Do not abuse this power.


    Our moderators can and will correct in red your errors in order to maintain the readability of the forums. There is a spell-checker available, as well as a "Preview Post" button: use them. Repeated violations of the third rule can result in banning via court martial. To date, one person has been banned. If you post intelligently and are an intelligent person, you will have no trouble here. We trust our members to conduct themselves reasonably, and thus don't feel the need to create an extensive code of conduct. It should be obvious to everyone what is and is not appropriate.

    Forum Hints

    These forums are a little different from your typical phpBB, and as such they might be a little confusing at first. Here are some hints to make your forum experience a more pleasant one.

    • Try selecting the "Categories" tab instead of "Discussions." This will give you a more traditional forum broken into distinct topics.
    • You can whisper (PM) within a public thread to have a topical yet private exchange.

    New rule:

    Only moderators are responsible for enforcing the rules of the forum. If you are not a moderator, you should not take it upon yourself to inform other users of their forum-related transgressions.

    Most frequently this rule applies to correction of grammar and spelling. If someone has poor grammar and spelling, don't correct them, or warn them, publicly. A private message / whisper is fine, as rules do not apply to private communications. Let moderators take care of it and go about your business.
