Welcome to the Strictly Pole Dancing Forums. In addition to the rules and guidelines set out upon registration, the following also apply.

These rules are subject to change at the discretion of the moderator/administrator.

It is important that some basic rules of conduct and guidelines are agreed on, so that everyone can join in equally and enjoy their stay. These rules and guidelines are based on mutual respect and consideration. They are designed to be similar to the house rules of any establisment where people might meet to enjoy sharing interests, views, experiences, knowledge and opinions.

This is a User to User, English language only discussion forum. Information or opinions contained in any posts are those solely of the user making the post and in no way is validated by or the opinions of SPD, this includes those of our moderators. Use of any information on this board is done so at your own risk. While we may at time respond to posts, SPD makes no warrants or claims regarding the validity of any information posted by users on this board nor do we review posts for accuracy of information.

#1 Private messages. Please do not use the PM system to ask technical support questions of the moderators or admins. Technical support questions PM'd to the moderators and admins will go unanswered. Instead, post your question in the appropriate forum for assistance from other members and board moderators.

#2 No obscene language. Please refrain from using any vulgar language that would offend someone else. Inappropriate words will be edited. This also applies to User Names. Accounts with inappropriate user names may be deleted.

#3 No obscene material. Please, no pornographic material or links to it. If it is not fit for family members, it is not fit for here.

#4 No personal insults or attacks. SPD provides this site for our users to gather and discuss pole dancing in general. You are free to disagree with others, but if you stoop to personal abuse or attacks, your post(s) will be deleted. If you are insulted please report the post, but do not retaliate.

#5 No trolling or flame wars. Trolling and/or attempting to bait others into a flame war will not be tolerated. Any posts we deem to fall in this category will be deleted.

#6 Post in the appropriate forum. Please read each forum description before posting to ensure you are posting in the correct forum. Off topic posts will be moved to the correct forum.

#7 No duplicate or repeat posts. If no-one answers your question or responds to your post, please "bump" it rather than posting it again. Posting the same question over and over or in every forum will just annoy people and will not get answers.

#8 Use appropriate titles. Titles like Help Me, or I'm Stuck serve little value in a forum. Try to be short but descriptive when submitting your post. Likewise, try to be clear and articulate when posting your questions, answers, or comments. Unclear messages/posts only add confusion and may delay responses to your post.

#9 No illegal suggestions. Respect the copyrights of other people, websites, software and printed media. Please no pointers, how-to’s, advocating any illegal activity. Posts regarding such things as warez, crackz etc. will be deleted and the user warned.

#10 No advertising/spam or solicitation. Do not use this site as a redirector or gateway to another site for the purpose of collecting click income or advertising. Although there are times when a link to another site is necessary for helping or answering a question, this site reserves the right to determine what is and is not SPAM. Any SPAM will be immediately deleted and the user warned. Likewise, this is not your personal "for sale" board to advertise items. There are other sites out there that will allow you to sell your items.

#11 Images. Please remember, no pornographic or obscene material of any kind.

#12 Signatures and user names. While we have allowed the use of signatures as a form of expression, graphics in signatures should be no larger than 80 pixels high by 80 pixels wide. An additional 2 lines of text are allowed but must be size small (size=1). If using text only, keep lines to no more than 7 in small size text. File size should be no greater than 150KB this includes any text or images used in your signature. Signatures outside this limit will be edited and/or removed. Please remember, no pornographic, obscene or controversial subject matter of any kind (this includes political commentary).

#13 Use the search function before posting.

#14 Spelling. Please do not use CAPITALS unnecessarily or text speak. If you struggle with spelling, use http://www.iespell.com
