TOPIC: Forum Rules

As originally posted by Phil, and a previous Forum Admin

There have been a lot of new people joining the forum, and while that's great, and we love to have you here to join in the great discussions. However, people need to review the rules and make sure they're clear on them. Before I spell them out, let me make you aware that in order to curb the proliferation of SPAM accounts, all new members first 5 posts are marked as "Pending", and await moderator approval before becoming visible. So, if your post count is below 5, and you don't see your post appear immediately, please don't post it repeatedly.

As copied from the main post:

We have a few simple rules and guidelines to keep the forums a fun and clutter free place to hang out and talk about custom sabers. Anyone who breaks these simple rules will be banned.

1. Don't be rude or hostile to other members

2. Don't hate, or express a negative opinion devoid of constructive criticism

3. Don't post vendor inquires in the forum, any questions about warranty coverage or claims, lead time, ect, should be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

4. Don't use the forum to recruit for your own forum, website, or facebook group

Let me add a few more that have been previously understood as common sense, but apparently need to be outlined in iron now:

5. Review section are for reviews ONLY. Do NOT post general inquiries or questions in review sections. From this period forth, all non-review posts in review sections will be deleted.

6. Direct promotional material for other companies is not appreciated here. This is common sense: you don't go to FedEx and promote UPS, so please respect us in this. We welcome you sharing images of your sabers from anywhere, but do not link to sales, videos, or promotional reviews of other vendors' goods.

7. "Wait hate" posts are prohibited. You can post about your wait time, share your experience, etc, but as soon as your post becomes derogatory it's crossed the line. From this period forth all wait hate posts will be deleted.

8. In extension to rule #2 and 3, Customer Service does not spend dedicated time on this forum. If you have a customer service issue, email them. This is not the medium for that kind of complaint, and your posts will be removed.

I would love to keep this far more simple and open as it has been, but increased traffic has lead to multiple people ignoring rules, and when that happens unfortunately the reins have to be tightened a touch to keep everything smooth.
