I put a brief list of rules in the General Phalloplasty Discussion message board but I wanted to elaborate on more here - as this will be the official "bylaws" of the "Phalloboards." It is strongly advised to review these rules from time to time as they are subject to change without notice.
Forum Rules
Violation of one or more of the above rules can result in a deletion of (violating)post/thread, suspension, or outright ban.
As of May 5th, 2011, photos of penises/nudity are forbidden. A new site will be opened where photo uploads can resume.
Posts that WILL face deletion are posts that:
On occasion, posts may be moved or copied to more fitting message boards without notice.
The PhalloBoards Administrator reserves the right to enforce forum rules by discretion.
Any questions, concerns, or comments please feel free to Private Message or email (phalloboards@gmail.com) me.
Forum Rules
- (R1.)Respect each other's privacy: Which includes preserving private information entrusted to you; this also means all material on these forums STAY on these forums.
- (R2.)Respect each other's decision making: Some like one doctor, others like another, but support each other in what would be our best interests.
- (R3.)Maintain mature and respectful dialog: Insults, offensive innuendos, excessive use of sarcasm, condescension, unfounded allegations/accusations/rumors, and the demeaning of others are all in violation of this rule and are subject to warning and/or suspension. Repeated violations of this rule will result in a permanent ban. This rule also applies to bickering: a situation where neither party is outright insulting each other but is constantly increasing the tension of the thread while steering the topic off course.
- (R4.)Individuals and/or companies affiliated with surgeons/doctors are NOT permitted to join the discussion; the only exception to this rule is if the actual surgeon/doctor or business affiliate is willing to speak directly with the forum community in an interview format - pending Administrative approval (this would be verified by telephone if necessary).
- (R5.)Members cannot advertise any commercial product or service, which includes containing links in their signature or profile which goes to a website that sells products or services. You can however, discuss the legitimacy of commercial products designed for the penis in the "RESOURCES ONLY" message boards (this, however, could still be subject to deletion).
- (R6.)Defamation & slander of a person, member, company, and/or doctor is not acceptable under any circumstances. Criticism and expressions of disappointment/grief, however, are legitimate forms of free speech and are acceptable.
- (R7.)Falsifying information about a surgical method's technique, effectiveness, side effects, and success rate(s) is wrong and unacceptable.
- (R8.)Members must heed the requests and parameters set by the Administrator and Moderators. Any individual who feels that he/she has been wrongly banned or censored, or believes a Moderator is abusing their powers, has the right to appeal to the main Administrator and/or other Moderators.
- (R9.)All forms of spam, scams, and advertising are against the rules. This also includes threads and posts that are extremely off-topic (which includes engaging into conversations of politics, religion, sexual orientation, etc).
- (R10.)Uploads are welcome, but certain video or photo uploads (or links) are prohibited: (a) depictions of sex acts; (b) photos showing a face and/or real name; (c) offensive and obscene symbols and acts; (d) uploads deemed extremely off-topic.
- (R11.)Posts and/or uploads that infringe copyright and trademark rights are forbidden. Posts and/or threads that remotely appear to be questionable in this regard can be subject to deletion.
- (R12.)Multiple member accounts are not permitted. If you have mistakenly created two, delete one of them or have the site Administrator delete the one of them for you.
- (R13.)Threads, posts, links, and uploads that violate Proboards.com's Terms of Service (TOS) are unacceptable and will face immediate removal. These Terms of Service can be found here: www.proboards.com/tos
