Although you may read any of the Forum posts, you must become a registered member of CVAA.info to reply and post to the forums.
The CVAA Message Boards are a public forum and, while we encourage a flow of information and ideas on the forum, we also ask that you follow a few basic rules. By using or participating in the forum, you agree to the Rules of Conduct as stated below.
= Moderation =
The forum is moderated. However, the moderators cannot be everywhere and see everything. If you see something that is against the Board Rules, please report it by using the “Notify Moderators” link at the bottom of the thread in question. Note that the moderators have the final say-so in any situation that you report to the Moderators. They will evaluate the situation on a case-by-case basis and take appropriate action where needed.
What Is A Moderator?
Moderators are volunteers who generously give their time to help board users with questions about the site and message board. They also are the peacekeepers and are here to ensure that all visitors enjoy their stay. This means enforcing the Board Rules and User Agreement.
What Do Moderators Do?
Moderators monitor posts and respond to complaints to keep posting free of undesirable content. They enforce the rules, and can delete posts, edit posts as well as remove any user's ability to visit the boards. If a moderator lets you know you are close to crossing the line, take heed of the warning. Likewise, if your thread was deleted or locked by a moderator, do not repost or unlock the topic. They deserve respect and appreciation for their time.
Bans
You may be banned from the message boards at any time for behavior deemed inappropriate by the moderators. Please be aware that moderators do know what conjecture and innuendo is, and when used inappropriately over a certain amount of time, it can lead to a ban.
What If I Disagree With A Moderator?
Moderators are not perfect and are only human. Disagreements occur. Try to communicate with them first on a respectful level and settle your disagreement. They are not targets for your obscenities, flames or general insults. If you do not agree with a decision, you are not entitled to start a thread arguing about the verdict or flaming any of the moderators. Any such messages will be removed.
Following are some things you'll want to keep in mind while posting on the forum. Please read the rules so you will be familiar with them:
Copyrighted Material
CVAA board users agree not to post any material that is protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary right without the express permission of the owner(s) of said copyright, trademark or other proprietary right.
