The "Golden Rule" of MastersElite
Bannable Behaviors
Admins & Moderators Are People Too
You'll be expected to treat us like human beings. We are not robots that experience no emotions. We are not contracted third parties. We are humans and members of this community.
If you believe that one of us has acted out of turn and made an improper decision, you can request additional information or review via our Help Desk. Please understand that "request" does not mean you are entitled to either. We may approve or deny any request without stated reason. If that flares up your paranoia, maybe this community is not a good fit for you.
Warnings
From time to time, the mods will warn individuals. Usually this is to draw their attention to various rules that they are apparently unaware of. Typically, warnings are for 2 weeks and then removed, but there is no automated method for this, and it relies on mods noticing someone's post and looking at the warning. If you feel it's been there too long, submit a ticket.
Warnings are only visible to you and the admins/mods and not to other users. They're the first, private step on the "warning, temp ban, permanent ban" ladder. Take them as a "hey, by the way, did you see this rule" nudge in the ribs. There are various warning levels (mild, medium, severe, etc.) which are chosen based on the whim of any given admin/mod.
The "Golden Rule" of MastersElite
- Don’t be a dick.
- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." - Don't do things that decades of netiquette have shown to be offensive. Don't be "That Guy". Don't break the rules. When in doubt, just don't.
- There will always be new ways to cause trouble for people within a community, and they can’t all be listed one by one. Intent isn’t always possible to judge, and it isn’t always relative. The administrators and the moderators are the judges, respect their requests when you are told that you have stepped out of line.
Bannable Behaviors
- Overt racism, religious intolerance, etc. All that stuff that is in every forum TOS on the planet. If most people would think it's hate speech, it's likely the mods will, too, and besides...what does that have to do with the MastersElite community? False cries of racism to derail threads will meet the same fate as racist remarks.
- Threats, harassment, doxxing, supporting terrorist activities, making public your wish for people here to die, motivating people to commit harm to themselves, etc. You're being a dick.
- Obvious spam. We all know it when we see it.
- Ban evasion.
- Being a dick.
- Shilling.
- Posting multiple threads on the same topic.
- Creating a thread and then editing the content to remove it, replacing it with "delete please", or anything along those lines.
- Bumping threads because you're impatient.
- Answering every thread with your affiliate code(s)/link(s).
- Hidden affiliate links. All affiliate links must be made obvious. Affiliate link(s) must be clearly marked as an affiliate link with a non-affiliate link provided, in the same size. Affiliate links are a privilege for helpful, contributing community members. If you signed up just to spam, expect a ban. If your only posts are affiliate links, expect a ban. This includes posting links to your blog that only contains affiliate links, URL shorteners, etc.
- The Dark Arts of Thread Necromancy. Make sure the thread you're replying to is still relevant.
- Posting about things other than MastersElite community and/or Technology in places other than Offtopic. The category is there for a reason.
- Signatures longer than most of your posts that fill significant portions of our screens. It should not be more than two lines, nor should it be distracting.
- Making
your 
thread 
titles 
super 
flashy. This ain't WHT. - Posting threads asking for members to stress test or throughput test an IP, URL, or any other network resource(s). The potential for DDoS abuse is too great to allow such threads.
