(1) : Behavior : Please carry yourself in the manner consistent with an online chat board. Do not discriminate others because of age, belief, sex, race, religion, education, sexual orientation/affiliation/preference, etc. Though we encourage free speech, there is an extent (i.e. personal insults, bias, etc.)

(2) : Direction of Boards : These boards are for the education of recreational substances and their effects, specifically dextromethorphan. Its use is not encouraged by Owners, Administrators, Moderators, or other Staff. Any such encouragement is engaged by members speaking for themselves, not representative of the Dextroverse community. Taking into consideration encouragement is done at your own risk and Owners, Administrators nor Moderators can not be held responsible for your actions. Please make decisions wisely.

(3) : Information : All information contained herein of the Dextroverse Bulletin Boards are for PRIVATE use by board members and cannot be released as public information without approval of the Board Administrator and the person(s) involved in said sequestered data to be released publicly. Please contact an Administrator to gain approval for using said information. According to law, we reserve all rights to intellectual property posted.

(4) : Amendments : More rules may/can/will be added with or without notice, as the situation warrants. For now these are the rules.

(5) : Elastic Clause : Further actions towards situations which arise may be taken as the situation warrants.

(6) : Board Risk : Dextroverse Board Administrators, Moderators, and Staff cannot be held accountable for users' actions outside of the boards. All information contained herein is also considered to be used at your own risk. No official scientific studies or data (unless otherwise cited) can back up any posts made here on the boards.

(7) : Multiple Accounts : Users are no longer allowed to have more than one (1) account. Any more accounts will be deleted on sight; continuing to register more accounts will result in a ban from the dextroverse. If you accidently register 2 accounts PM an Administrator, and they will be happy to delete one of the accounts.

(8) : Cross-Applicability : All rules which are set down in this document for the forums also apply to Dextroverse IRC chat, and private message content on both the forums and the IRC chat.

(1) : Flame War : Please do not create a post or reply to a post if your intentions are to start or respond to a flame war.

(2) : Suicide Posts : NO posts about a member about to commit suicide, wanting to commit suicide, or planning to commit suicide are allowed or will be tolerated. If you have information about a member that is in any stage of suicide, please contact your local authorities or the authorities local to that person's home. On another note, it IS ok to talk about past suicide attempts as long as it does not cause you to relapse and to post you are committing suicide. Speaking of past friends who have committed suicide is also tolerated. Otherwise, this rule is extremely enforced. If you break this rule, this will result in a ban from the Dextroverse Boards.

(3) : Personal Insults : Any posts consisting of irrelevant personal insults will be immediately deleted from any thread in which they appear.

(4) : Threats : Any posts containing threats toward this site, the Moderators, any member of these forums, or anyone/thing else will be deleted and action towards the member will result.

(5) : Off-topic Posts : Any post that is off-topic to its forum will be deleted. If you want to post it, post it in the right place. If you fear it's not in the right place, it isn't. Be clear it is in the right place. The first few times the Moderators will simply move the post and notify you; if it persists, Moderators may be free to delete the out of place posts. You have been warned.

(6) : Signature Files : Signature files are no longer allowed to be ridiculously large. If your signature is beyond guidelines, it will be removed. If you wish to post a picture in your signature, it should be no larger than 500 pixels in width and 150 pixels in height. Lines of text should be 10 lines or less including spaces. Also, No plagiarism or copying.

(7) : Personal Information : Any personal information you place on the boards you do so at your own risk, i.e. street adresses, age, vital information, or any other information. Please use your wisdom when posting.

(8) : Illegal Materials : You are NOT allowed to post any future illegal activity, or plans for any future illegal activity. Nor are you allowed to post copyright/trademark infringing items (i.e. "music", "warez", "appz", etc.) Please use your wisdom (and common sense) when posting.

(9) : Requests for Interviews : You are NOT allowed to post any requests for interviews without Administration consent. Please contact PeoplesMind for approval. We welcome responsible journalism, however we are not a breeding ground for sensationalism.

(10) : Edited Posts : If a moderator edits your post, you are not allowed to restore the original text. If you think the editing was unjustified, bring the issue up in the Talk to Staff forum. Editing your edited post to harass or impersonate a moderator is grounds for the deletion of your account. This includes, but is not limited to, reposting locked/closed/edited material. If you change a staff member's edit, this will result in restriction.

(11) : Staff Harassment : If you disagree with how the staff comports themselves, please let us know in the 'Talk to Staff' forum. If your criticism is not presented in an adult and contextually appropriate manner, it will be ignored.

(12) : Inappropriate Images : Pornography is not allowed and will be deleted on sight. If you feel you must present an image that might not be "work-safe" please do not use IMG tags or attach the image. use an HTTP link. Any images that you link to that might not be work safe should be accompanied with a "WARNING NWS" line.

(13) : Sufficient Content : We will lock any thread in which the initial post consists of nothing more than a link. If you are posting a news story (for example), you must quote the relevant material in addition to providing a link. If you want to add personal comments, that's encouraged, but not required. Posts consisting of one sentence or less are discouraged, but not absolutely forbidden. If a skimpy thread of yours gets locked, that's up to the discretion of the staff member in question (see "ELASTIC CLAUSE").

(14) : Leeched Images : When posting images, it is required that you either attach them or use an image host; leeched images are equivalent to theft of bandwidth from other sites, and are forbidden here. An initial infraction will result in a warning, the removal of the image and possible public humiliation. Repeated offenses will result in restriction.

(1) : Punishment : Depending on the violation, severity of action will be taken accordingly. Some posts are simply just deleted. Certain actions may lead to having your posts required to be screened by moderators. Failure to comply with other rules will result in your denied access to the Dextroverse (banishment).

(2) : Equality : Each situtation will be weighed by the person in charge (Administrator/Moderator/Staff) and will be acted on in a case by case basis.
