You are responsible for your own words and any harm they may cause. 3. Don't dilute the forums with irrelevant and unnecessary crap. CG-Cars.com is a professional, moderated forum. It's a place to talk about all things concerning CG-Cars & Cars in general. It's NOT a free speech forum. 4. No links in signatures are allowed except they are leading to your own portfolio. The Administrators/Moderators of CG-Cars.com reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread (or edit any user profile) with or without reason or notice. Polite enquiries will be listened to. Any form of harassment will not be tolerated and is cause for instant banishment from the site. |
| Policy |
| All of the following guidelines have been formulated according to specific problems that we have encountered in the past, and wish to prevent in the future, in the interests of maintaining a level of professionalism and respect amongst users on CG-Cars.com. Because CG-Cars.com is a computer graphics related community, and in the interests of keeping potentially offensive topics away from the forum, the Administrators & Moderators of these forums do not tolerate posts that contain any of the following subjects or elements: - Politics or political propaganda in any form If you wish to discuss politics, kindly find an appropriate forum for such discussion. Topics of this nature resort in lengthy and unnecessary arguments that are nevertheless totally unrelated to the subject of computer graphics or visual effects. - Potentially inflammatory discussions, artwork or comments regarding social issues These include, but are not limited to, topics such as racism, sexism, religion, xenophobia or homosexuality. - Crude, derogatory, inappropriate, or disrespectful remarks aimed at any individual(s) Offensive or unnecessarily abrasive comments directed at any individual are not tolerated in any form. These include anything from personal vendettas to unnecessarily insulting comments directed at the work of any individual. Critiques of work displayed should not include unnecessarily derogatory remarks (whether aimed at the user or the work itself) in any form. - Spamming A healthy level of industry-related advertising is encouraged in the CG News and General Discussions forum. However, blatant spamming will be removed. - Hate speech Derogatory, anti-social or inflammatory remarks aimed at any group of people, with the intention to incite a mass response are not only a crime in most countries, but are also totally unacceptable here. - Any comments made with the sole intention of disruption or to cause distress to any individual(s) Whether made metaphorically, or otherwise, any personal defamatory remarks directed at any individual(s) are unacceptable. - Unnecessarily violent, crude, or obscene imagery Scenes depicting themes such as rape, or any other brutality will not be tolerated in any form. - Racial slurs No matter how amusing some people might find them, most users consider jokes, or underhanded comments, directed at any race or culture highly offensive. - Piracy Users requesting or advertising warez (or links to warez sites), serial numbers, cracks, or illegally copied software documentation, are not welcome on this forum. CG-Cars.com does not tolerate any members that, in any way, aid or encourage the use of illegally acquired software. - Posts that are potentially in breach of any NDA Agreements This includes screenshots or any unlawfully acquired knowledge regarding beta versions of software that are not available to the general public. Even if you are not the one who signed the agreement, you are still not permitted to post such matter. - Totally ludicrous subjects While the actual definition of this one may be debatable, we prefer to keep totally ridiculous subject matter that is totally unrelated to the industry, away from the forums as much as possible. A certain level of such matter is tolerated, but if a thread is really of very little substantial merit, the author of that thread will have to accept that it might be closed or removed completely. |
| General Notes |
| General Notes Posts containing subject matter as listed above will be removed in all cases, and should the author of such posts persist in posting such matter, that user will no longer be allowed to post on the forums. The Administrators & Moderators of CG-Cars.com request that all users remain, at all times, respectful and courteous towards all other members of the forum. We believe that these guidelines are fair and acceptable, and that all users should respect our reasons for keeping them in place. The admins and mods are not there to police everyone, but rather to protect users from offensive or unlawful content. Users are also encouraged to use the "Report this post" function within threads, should they feel that any comments posted on the forums have violated any of the guidelines stipulated here. And now have fun with the Community!! The CGCars Group. (copyright 2005) |
