| GROUP CODE OF CONDUCT Because we have had extreme problems with some ex-members copying and pasting entire pages of information from the index on the right, we have been forced to include this page, THE GROUP CODE OF CONDUCT. This rule, of copying and pasted DOES NOT APPLY to members who wish to share a good joke, important messages, or pretty picture (just not entire albums, please) with friends and family off the site. These rules were created to protect YOU, and managers alike, NOT to offend you. ***BANDWIDTH THEFT*** We have had more than a few dishonorable people ''COPY and PASTE'' entire pages from this site, such as ''members profiles'' , pages of information that has taken Apache Magic and myself hours of time to research, and apply to this site's content. MSN deals a heavy punishment to those found guilty of this, and reported by management. To locate a predator or a ''lurker'', that has been caught doing so : I have installed a hidden tracker on every page, message board, and album on the site : It tracks everyone from what sites they have just come from, gives out their primary server ID and LOCATION, when that person entered the site, and what pages he/she/they visited while here. *Note: I am Not referring to the hit counter on the welcome page. Bandwidth Theft is punishable by the law. ***The Rules*** 1--APPLICANTS MUST PROVIDE VALID EMAIL ADDRESS. ***Random address testing will be done to ensure your cooperation***. 2--Please keep sarcasm, insults and personal conflicts among members, OFF the site. 3--Always exercise the highest degree of politeness and mutual respect for eachother. 4--This site is NOT to be used as a dating service! Those found using the links pages and the message boards for this purpose will be banned. 5--Should you meet someone you wish to be more intimate with while you are here, share that intimacy OFF THE SITE! 6--No nude pictures permitted on this site's many albums. We all know all what the naked human body looks like. A woman's body is considered a sacred vessel, and should be respected in every form, especially artistically. This is a family-oriented site and many young children are members here. 7--Absolutely no cursing, swearing, or childish displays of anger on the message boards. If you are that upset, contact the management, (ApacheMagic) privately, and deal with it on a one to one basis. OFFENSIVE MESSAGE POSTS, WILL BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY! 8--Under NO circumstances, post a message that you know will offend someone here! 9--Absolutely NO "bashing" of ANY kind will be tolerated. Take your racism, and prejudisms ELSEWHERE ! This is NOT the place to discuss negative views on anothers' FAITH,BELIEFS, POLITICAL, AND SEXUAL PREFERENCES ! 10--No spam in any way, shape or form, whatsoever, this is a non-profit web-site, and we don't want personal advertising for profit. This is firm, and banning will be immediate, and without warning. 11-DON'T TAKE ANYTHING YOU SEE HERE WITHOUT CONSENT FROM APACHE MAGIC OR MYSELF. 12--OBSERVE THE FIRST 11 RULES AT ALL TIMES! ***Failure to Comply***  Failure to comply will be dealt with in the following ways : Your nickname and address will be kept on file here, and made visible to the group if you fail to comply with our simple rules. There are no names at this time on the ''wall of shame'', Please don't be the first. First Offence : A Warning will be issued to you, one that will be posted for all members to see. Second Offence : You will be permanently banned from this group immediately, and without notice. .
