Sporting Clays Online Community Rules
Our Goal
Sporting Clays magazine is dedicated to developing and maintaining a friendly online sporting clays and wingshooting community. We
want our members to feel relaxed and comfortable, to feel free to exchange ideas and information, and to enjoy themselves without
disruption. This is a place where all participants share one thing in common: the enjoyment of the shotgun sports.
Our Standards
In order to create the environment described above, we've established a set of community standards. We expect all participants on our
message boards to act responsibly and to respect our community and its members. Conduct should be guided by common sense, basic
etiquette and the rules listed here.
Topics and Language
Conversation on the message boards centers on sporting clays and wingshooting topics. Topics not of this nature are not appropriate for
discussion on the Sporting Clays message boards. Profanity and vulgar language is not acceptable in any discussions on the forum.
Messages containing inappropriate language will be deleted at the discretion of Sporting Clays, and members who post such items will
be prohibited from posting without notice. Please choose your words gently when you post.
Harassment and Flaming
Sometimes, discussions turn into disagreements. Please remember when posting that while it is acceptable to disagree with an idea, it is
not acceptable to abuse members who think differently than you do. It is equally unacceptable to abuse administrators who are speaking
on behalf of Sporting Clays. Sporting Clays community members are not permitted to harass or flame other members or
administrators. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, disparaging remarks or hateful comments based on gender, race, ethnic
background or religion. Members who resort to this type of unacceptable behavior will be locked out of our community. If you feel you
are being harassed or flamed by another member, please contact Sporting Clays immediately at editorial@sportingclays.net.
Advertising and Infringement
Members are not allowed to advertise on the Sporting Clays message board. A member may answer another member's question about
their occupation or business. However, blatant advertising or solicitation of business is not allowed. No commercial messages or
solicitations that have not been authorized by Sporting Clays will be permitted on any message board, and will be removed by the
administrators. Repeated attempts to post messages that are deemed to be promotional in nature will result in the loss of posting
privileges.
Messages discussing or promoting Sporting Clays competitors are not permitted in the forum. If you prefer one of our competitors,
please feel free to visit their web sites and become a member of their online communities.
Sporting Clays members may not infringe on anyone else's intellectual property rights, including any copyright, trademark, and rights of
publicity or other proprietary rights. Please be sure that any work you post is your own.
Disruption
Sporting Clays members may not disrupt the flow of conversation on the message boards. The repeated posting of off topic materials
will result in the loss of posting privileges.
Agreement With Rules
By posting in or reading any messages on the Sporting Clays message board, members agree to abide by the rules posted on this page. |
