~TwinkInfo's Code of Conduct~

Welcome to the Twink Info Forums! We are here to provide you with a friendly environment where you can discuss all things Twinking. We therefore ask you to take a few minutes to read the following before making use of these forums.

Preamble

Use of our forums constitutes your acceptance and agreement to TwinkInfo's Code of Conduct. If you violate the Code of Conduct, we reserve the right to terminate all accounts belonging to you without prior notice. We prefer to advise users of inappropriate behavior, however, repeated violations of our CoC will result in an immediate ban. Our failure to enforce this policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of our right to do so at any time

Our Code of Conduct isn't designed to layout every rule we set forth in the TwinkInfo community, but give a basic idea and understanding on what we allow and expect from each of our members.

Rules


1. Communicate Clearly
Posts should be made in a clear and concise manner. Since we have members from all over the world, we don’t expect everyone to be able to post using perfect grammar. However, if you’re going to post, please make an effort to follow basic sentence structure and punctuation rules.

2. Respect Others
Trolling or flaming in any form is forbidden. If you can’t have a logical discussion without launching into an attack or hurling insults please stick to the WoW forums.
A. Flaming
Attacking others in any form is not allowed, this includes; race, gender, religion, age, sexuality, language, and disability.
B. Trolling
Will not be tolerated. If the sole purpose of your post is to anger or "bait" someone, it will be moderated.

3. Profanity
A mild amount of profanity is acceptable in a general context, but we ask that you keep it under control. Excessive vulgarity, including racial or sexual slurs, is unacceptable

4. No Spam
Spam of any form will not be tolerated, including irrelevant or repeat posts/replies that are written for the sole purpose of elevating your post count (with the exception of The Tavern).

5. TwinkInfo Forums are a Work-Safe Environment
Text, Images, Audio, or any other medium pertaining to inappropriate or offensive material is unacceptable.

7. IBTL
"In Before The Lock" posts will be deleted on sight. These posts serve no purpose other than to belittle the original poster, and thus have no place in the TwinkInfo community. If you come across a post that you feel should be locked, please send a PM to a moderator, and we will take a look at it. Note: This Includes posts where you try to Be sneaky by hiding it in The post Like this.

8. Signature Restrictions
While their are no specific restrictions, they must be reasonably sized. If a signature exceeds the natural width of the forum area provided, it will be edited. For signatures that are too "tall" we will ask you to make it more friendly. Links or images of offensive material will be deleted without warning.

9. User Names
User names have extensive coverage in the range that we allow our members to create, however, if we feel your name is in violation with our CoC, we reserve the right to alter, change, or delete said user name & account.
A. Imitation - Impersonating other users is strickly forbidden and will result in termination of all accounts belonging to you.

10. Copy Rights
Guides, Spreadsheets, or other works should be citied with the authors name and/or a link to their original work. We do not condone the act of attempting to take credit for other authors works.
A. Protection
Twink Info encourages everyone to protect their works with a creative commons license.

11. Posting
No cross posting, post your thread in the appropriate section and nowhere else, duplicates will be deleted without warning.
A. Repeats - Back to back posting is frowned upon, be patience someone will likely respond to your post/thread, if a full day goes by, try asking the question in a different way. If you need to respond to multiple people, use the multi quote button.

12. Threads

Violations of our Code of Conduct are dealt with on a case by case basis. If you see posts violating our rules, please either report () it or PM a Moderator.

Guidelines

Be constructive - Above all, TwinkInfo is a place where twinks can come together for discussion in a positive and helpful atmosphere. Please do your best to help maintain that atmosphere by refraining from derailing threads, or posting overly negative comments or complaints.

That's not to say you can't be silly, or make jokes, or otherwise be lighthearted. In addition, you're more than welcome to disagree with anyone, and hold any opinion you like just try and keep a healthy attitude when posting.

Post like this: "I have some concerns about these recent changes."
Not like this: "wow wtf blizz nerfed us again gg, this is a SLAP IN THE FACE"

Be considerate - Everyone plays this game for the same reason - to have fun. This extends to these forums as well. Please try not to be rude or disrespectful to others (no matter how wrong they are). If you must get into an argument with someone, please do so with civility, and with consideration to their viewpoints as well.

Post like this: "I understand your opinion, but I disagree."
Not like this: "You might think that, but that's because you're stupid."

Read stickies - These serve as a way to enable us to keep vital information pertaining to a specific forum readily available. If you feel something should, or shouldn't be stickied, please contact a moderator.

Use the search function - There is a lot of discussion that goes on in these forums, so chances are if you have a question, or even just want to discuss a specific topic, it's come up in the past. A lot of times, you can find the answer you're looking for in an existing thread, and if you don't (or have more to add to the discussion), please add it to a pre-existing thread when possible.

Note: There is a very subtle difference between adding to an existing thread and what is known as "thread necromancy", which is frowned upon. Please make sure you're actually contributing something important to the conversation, and that you're not just digging up old and outdated information when you post.

Personal - @posts or other issues involving you and another forum member should be dealt with in PMs (Private Messages), the public forums are not a personal chat system.

Your Style! Do not ask "what's best" because this question cannot be answered objectively. Everyone has their own views about whats best in a certain area. The best is what works best for you!

Game Breaking - Exploits, Hacks, Glitchs, Cheats, or anything lack there of is heavily frowned upon by TwinkInfo, we do not condone the act of trying to enhance your gameplay via unorthodox methods.

Dealing with Trolls - We ask our members not to be 'back seat moderators' use the report feature or PM a moderator. It is also encouraged not to elevate the thread or instigate the troll, this only encourages their behavior.

Language - The offical language of TwinkInfo is English. The offical language of our partner WoW-Twink is French.

Violations

"Hey Naturaltalnt, if I see a post that violates the Code of Conduct, what should I do?!"

Why, I'm glad you asked! Now, before you go huffing and puffing and blowing the internets down, there's a much healthier, more effective, and safer alternative. All you have to do is...

Send a Moderator a Private Message!

That's right, just send a quick PM to your friendly neighborhood moderator, and we'll get in there in a jiffy and clean that mess right up for you. No need to bother yourself with angry ranting in response.

If your post fails to follow the Code of Conduct, it will be edited or deleted by a moderator. If you continually violate the Code of Conduct, either your posting privilages will be revoked or you will suffer a permanent ban.
