 <title>Rules (READ THIS before posting)</title>
 <link>http://robin.thornvalley.com/node/406</link>
 <description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;General Rules&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol type=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be respectful of others. Remember the old adage: &quot;If you can&#039;t say something nice, don&#039;t say anything at all.&quot;
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No trolling, flaming or otherwise posting just to get a negative reaction or attention. This goes along with rule #1.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not post obscene, excessively violent, pornographic or otherwise offensive material to the forum. Remember, I&#039;d like this place to be at least somewhat &quot;family friendly.&quot;
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not advertize non-NIMH related things to the board (i.e. no spam). NIMH-related advertizements are acceptable only for publicizing a NIMH website, fanfiction or other writer&#039;s resource.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If the forum has a specific topic, please stay on topic. 
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you want to post something and you&#039;re not sure where it goes, &lt;a href=&quot;/node/add/blog&quot;&gt;post it on your blog&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Consequences&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol type=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;For minor offenses the thread in question may be locked, moved somewhere more appropriate or deleted and the offender given a warning.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;For major or repeated offenses, in addition to deleting the thread in question, the poster of the thread may be banned from the forum.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I (Simon) have final say in the interpretation and execution of any rule or consequence.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you feel that someone has violated one of the rules, please send me a message containing a link to the post in question or enough information about the post that I can find it, and an explanation of which rule was broken and why.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://robin.thornvalley.com/node/406&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
