HBC Forum Rules n Regulations
05 January 2006

1. There is no such thing as a stupid question.

2. If something doesn’t look right or is out of place, let one of the Admin or Moderators know in Private Message and we’ll fix it.

3. Belittling or Racist comments of any kind on HuntingBC.ca will not be tolerated.

4. Keep it Civil means Keep it Civil!

5. If you’ve got a bone to pick with another member use the email or PM system not the forums! Keep the PM’s in the PM’s do not post someone’s PM in the forums.

6. There is to be no frowning upon a member for the method of hunting used, or the sex, age of the animal. If it's legal then it's legal no if, and, or, but!

7. There is to be no swearing, foul language or profanities on the website.

8. Avatars are to be in good taste with no nudity, gore or obscene gestures.

9. From here on in there is to be no listing of animals shot in the signature block. To me it’s just gloating, and un-sportsman like and just looks bad in general. I don’t believe in the numbers game.

10. There will be no addresses, phone numbers, or website links in the signature blocks. Links belong in the link section, and advertising doesn’t belong in the forums.

11. Signatures are not to be paragraphs long or bolded and enlarged to the point where the signature is longer then the members post are. There will be no mocking, or insults posted in the signatures. Use your discretion, if it goes missing, it means it wasn't proper.

12. From now on, if a member can't follow these basic guidelines and play nice with others he will get a 2 week time out for a first offence and BANNED from the website for ever for a second confrontation.

13. At anytime, if a member has done something that is deemed to give HuntingBC.ca, or hunters in general a bad name, could be banned indefinitely.

14. No Companies or Businesses to advertise in the Buy, Sell, Trade or Forums, except for sponsors in the “Sponsors Corner Forum”. If you’re interested in advertising contact the admin about sponsoring the website.

15. No bloody shot up animals, organs or entrails in the forums or gallery. When taking pictures of your animals please try and pull it away from the gut pile before you start taking pictures.

16. No Illegal activities to be discussed in the forums. For example, anything to do with illegal drugs, firearms alterations, illegal methods of taking game, poaching, filling others tags. (Anything that may incriminate members or make the site look bad in the eyes of the public.)

17. No Pornographic or Racial Material (this includes cartoons) what so ever to be posted or linked to HuntingBC.ca. We've got some young members and I want to keep this site clean.
