the rules are here.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=boardrules

break em and you get a ban/suspension depending on the severity of your actions. We leave it to the discretion of our mods/staff on whether to just let you off with a warning, or to suspend your account for up to 10 days.

swear words are automatically replaced by the filter. We will not warn you for that, but if it amounts to swearing against a particular member, then it will be construed as a flame post and you might get a warning for that.

Complaining about a mod (if you have just cause and reason) will not get you a ban. You can always report about a mod to a staff, and about a staff to an admin. Thats why we have a heirachy.

use the report button. It is impossible for us to monitor all 10,000 posts that is added to the forum everyday. If you find any posts that violates the rules, click the report button to make a moderator aware of it and take the necessary action.

Help us to help you. This is a community forum, and if you guys want it to be a better place, then we need your help to inform us when things go wrong.

swearing directly at another member of the forum is considered flaming and is an offense on the forum. It is against the board rules and we will take action on it. However, if we don't notice it, we can't take any action. So, do use the report button to inform the moderators when it happens.
