RULES OF CONDUCT

To ensure continued success we are posting these guidelines so that all participants of the MCN website understand what is considered unacceptable behavior and can result in a temporary suspension or a permanent ban.

This includes respect to your fellow user and respect for MCN staff. The Administrators and Moderators work very hard for the community with little or no gain to themselves, so please respect their efforts.

• Not responding to or ignoring admin / moderator warnings will lead to suspension.
• Personal attacks are prohibited. This specifically means any text/post that is blatantly attacking another person on or off the site, especially in a personal way.
• Trolling is prohibited. Trolling is whenever someone is clearly, deliberately posting in a manner for the purpose of angering and/or insulting the other participants of the board. Trolling DOES NOT encourage further discussion; in the long run, it only encourages personal attacks (if left unchecked).

The success of MCN depends upon the quality posts of our participants. We are proud of MCN's success and give our thanks to those who have chosen to make our site their home for construction brick customization.

• Spamming the forums is prohibited. You will be warned if this activity is noted & you may be suspended if it you don't stop.
• Off Topic Posts are prohibited outside of the Off-topic Chat forum. Any off topic posts will be deleted, as well as responses to the off topic post. Excessive off topic posting will result in suspension. Please keep in mind that there are some topics that are not appropriate for the forums period. (no one on MCN wants to read about what you had for dinner last night)
  Use the private messaging service for any desired off topic chit chat.
• Do not Double Post. The forums are enabled with an edit button. If you forget to add something to you post, simply use the edit feature. Comments such as "Sorry for the double post ...." will be deleted.
• "Relevant Conversation" Keep in mind when posting that there is a time and place for everything. Do not post MOC's not relating to minifig customization in the Minifig MOC's forum. Likewise, keep all comments relevant to the topic. Topics / Comments with no relevance or purpose will be deleted.
• "Quality Content" Only post comments and content that is relevant to the community. Posts that lack any substance such as "nice" or "awesome" will be deleted.

Participants shall not post messages containing personal information including but not limited to full name, home address, email address or telephone numbers.

Any use of inappropriate content is will not be tolerated. Any content that includes inappropriate content will be deleted. If deemed necessary by MCN staff the user in offense may be suspended or permanently banned.

• Use of inappropriate language will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, statements, images, usernames, and words that are sexual, vulgar, obscene, profane, defamatory, abusive, hateful, bigoted, or otherwise offensive to others; thinly-veiled obscenities (using alternate letters/symbols); harassment and verbal attacks intended to belittle, humiliate, threaten, or cause embarrassment to another Member; and material advocating or discussing illegal activities. Any attempt to deliberately circumvent the censor filter is prohibited.
• Posting of pornography, racist or otherwise discriminating remarks, threats to cause physical or mental harm, extreme offensive language, material that breaks any law or otherwise totally unacceptable posts or links to pages that contain the aforementioned material will result in an immediate suspension and possible ban from the site.

Whenever you post a message on MCN, your screen name will automatically appear with your message. You may choose a name to use in connection with your messages in the interactive community. However, you may not use a user name (or e-mail address) that attempts to impersonate another person; that belongs to another person, without his or her prior consent; that violates the intellectual property rights of any person; or that MCN deems to be offensive.
Users are NOT allowed to change screen names.

Due to Internet Laws and the regulations that go along with them MCN does not allow registration from any persons age 13 or younger. Any underage user discovered will be suspended. Falsifying information to circumvent this is not permitted.
