Air Space Full Code of Conduct

• Duplicate/Redundant Topic
  Before posting a thread, use the search feature to ensure there is not already a thread on the same topic. If you can't locate a thread you've made, use the search feature as it might have been moved to a more appropriate forum by a moderator. If there is already a thread, please use it as there may already be several replies with good information about your topic.
  

• Thread/Post Recreation
  If any post gets deleted or locked, do not make a thread identical or similar to the locked one, or make a thread asking why the previous was deleted or locked.
  

• Unnecessary Bumping
  Do not post in threads for the sole purpose of "bumping" or bringing the threads back to the top when they are no longer relevant. This just brings old, out-of-date threads back to the top which creates clutter. Only bump threads that are recent and have a good purpose to be bumped.
  

• Trolling/Flaming
  Posts intended solely to annoy and/or offend other posters by going against the clear nature of a topic are not allowed. This includes but is not limited to provoking other users to respond with flames or provoking fans of a particular system or game. Continual harassing behavior directed towards a certain individual or group with the intent of creating an intimidating, offensive or hostile environment will not be tolerated. This will also include demeaning or derogatory comments directed towards Air Space Full staff.
  

• Spamming/Reputation Soliciting
  Spamming is characterized by the initiation of threads or posts that contribute nothing to a forum, be it on or off topic. Examples: empty bodies, bodies with few words that have no relation to the current thread or discussion (messages such as "first post", "hello" or "hey so & so"), posts that state they are spam, multiple posts in a row, fad threads (such as who's better, rate me, or location), or low content posts (posts without meaning are unnecessary and unacceptable). Asking for or offering reputation for any goods/services will not be tolerated and will be treated as spam. When a user or group of users systematically gives positive or negative reputation to an individual user, it is considered to be an abuse of the Reputation System, and can result in an infraction and/or reputation reset.
  

• No Posting of User's Personal Information
  These issues are left to the discretion of the moderators and administrators, but may include any material that is knowingly false, defamatory, misleading, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, racist, sexist, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy or that otherwise violates any law or encourages conduct constituting a criminal offense. This will also include posting of emails, IMs, PMs, or any other communications where at least one party had the impression of it being private.
  

• Copyright Infringement (Plagiarism)
  Posted material that violates copyright law, either in the form of reproducing material without the express consent of the copyright owner or in the form of not citing and crediting the creator.

• Rule Violation
