Community Guidelines for Pounding the Rock

updated on Mar 13, 2009 6:50 PM CDT

There are not a whole lot of rules on Pounding the Rock (PtR). However, the rules I do have are strongly enforced and non-negotiable. The main purpose of these rules is to make this site enjoyable for as many intelligent, well-meaning people as possible. The rules are outlined immediately below, with the guidelines for enforcement following.

What You Cannot Say

Words that are intolerant or prejudiced towards a group (sex, sexual preference / identity, race or religion) are not allowed. The context in which you use the word is immaterial. I have a very strong anti-misogyny stance. Do NOT degrade women in anyway. This includes using what many consider socially acceptable insults to men by calling them derogatory terms associated with women and their anatomy.
Comments about sex are not allowed. This includes a wide range of topics, from jokes that are sexual in nature to discussions about which cheerleader / actress is hot.
Personal attacks directed towards other members, along with baiting of members, are strongly discouraged. Heated discussions occasionally happen, but they should be few and far between.

Cursing

Cursing is not allowed in the title of FanPosts of FanShots.
We curse here at PtR. You will see profanity fairly often. I do not find the level of cursing egregious or offensive, but if you do, you might be happier some place else.
