Participation in the mannerme.com website or any affiliated website constitutes agreement to the following rules and guidelines, which apply to posts, profile information, avatars, signatures, private messages and any other content on this site and participation in general.

If you believe a user has violated our User Guidelines, please notify us by sending a private message to the forum administrator or any forum moderator.

1. Cross posting (posting the same information in two or more places) is not permitted.

2. Artificially increasing your post count is prohibited.

3. Advertisements and links to personal or other websites are not allowed. Only links that are necessary to answer a question or provide
needed information are allowed.

4. You are not allowed to post an affiliate URL that leads to you earning cash, banner impressions, credits, points, etc. Such links are
only allowed in signatures and profiles, but may not be referred to in posts.

5. Do not post personal information such as home addresses and home or cell phone numbers.

6. Do not ask for personal information such as home addresses and home or cell phone numbers.

7. Mannerme.com is an English language website. Please do not post in other languages.

8. Vulgar language and inappropriate material is not allowed and will be removed.

9. Abbreviations, self-censoring and attempts to circumvent the word censoring feature of the community software are not allowed. If your post contains a word that is censored by the software, you must remove that word or the post will be removed. If you feel that the censor is acting in error, please contact us.

10. When linking to outside websites, you must ensure that the content of the link is appropriate for our community, in line with the
guidelines laid out here. This includes mentioning or referencing a site, even if the mention is not hyperlinked. If you post a link and that link is automatically censored, it is considered to be an inappropriate link and you should remove it from your post immediately. If left, all posts that feature inappropriate links will be removed.

11. Posts that discuss illegal activities, transactions or websites such as warez, cracks, etc. will be removed. This includes the posting
of information that you have obtained illegally.

12. Do not post copyrighted materials (articles, videos, audio, etc.) that you do not have permission to reproduce or distribute. For
text articles, most of the time you may quote a small portion of the article (usually no more than 1/5 or 1/6) and you must link to the source (if online) or provide the source (if offline). Posting the entire article, even with the source, constitutes copyright infringement. This is not the place to illegally trade or distribute copyrighted video or audio clips.

13. No hotlinking images.

14. Respect the other members of the mannerme.com community. If you do not agree with something, you may say so respectfully. Do
not provoke.

15. Signatures are limited to 5 lines of text. This includes blank lines. No images. The text in the signature may be customized by the BBCode in use on the forums. It is recommended that you stick with readable fonts and colors and that the size is not too large. You may mention websites and ventures that you are in some way related to, as long as they are otherwise appropriate for this community. Focus on things that you like, not things that you don't.

16. Each user is allowed to create one account. If you would like to change your username, please contact us and, most likely, we can
do it for you while you can keep all of your profile data, posts and other content.

17. Automated account creation, participation and content scraping is not permitted.

18. We know that people will have to leave our community (of their own free will or otherwise) from time to time and to that end, we do
not delete accounts, posts or other content posted on our community. All content is granted to us with perpetual electronic publishing rights because any content posted on this community becomes a part of the community, even if you no longer are. You may request an item to be removed at any time, but we will decide when and if to remove content from our community. If you wish to no longer be identified with our community, we will be glad to close your account and alter your profile information to remove all identifying characteristics. After account closure, you will no longer be able to participate in this community and this action is not reversible.

19. Moderators and the administrator have the final say on anything. If you have a problem, you may make a complaint to them directly and not publicly on the website. Creating threads or posts that question or reference administrative decisions or potential administrative decisions, such as post removals and thread closures, is not permitted. We are not perfect and if you feel that we have made a mistake, please privately contact a staff member and we will review the situation. If you would like a copy of your
removed post so that you can adjust it and repost, please contact us. As long as we wouldn't prefer you to simply start over, we'll be glad to send you a copy.

20. If you ever need clarification on any part of our User Guidelines or have a question, suggestion, a bit of feedback or a problem with
the site, please feel free to contact the Administrator directly to ensure that it receives the proper attention. Please do not post it in the forums as it will be removed.

21. Whenever you are participating in this community, please keep in mind that we strive to create a fun, friendly and inviting atmosphere. So, please have fun and enjoy the forums!

Freedom of speech rights do not extend to privately owned websites, such as this one. These guidelines detail the types of behavior and activities that are allowed here.

If a user violates the site’s guidelines, or disregards the staff and/or the community, they run the risk of losing their account. We reserve the right to deactivate any account and to edit or remove any content without warning. These guidelines are subject to
change at any time without notice.

Do you have a question about our User Guidelines or anything else? Do you have a suggestion? Do you want to offer some feedback? Or are you experiencing some trouble with the site? Well, no matter what it is, please do not hesitate to contact us by sending a PM to
