Website Rules
The Official Website Rules of ColdCast. These guidelines are what we expect from our users in return for our service. Points may be deducted from your account if you break any one of these rules.
Do
Don't
Abusive language
It is not permitted to submit comments/topics containing foul or abusive language. Any submitted content breaching this rule will be removed or edited by a ColdCast moderator.
Only English
This is an English-orientated website. Please respect the fact that 90% of our users only understand English. Content in any language other than English will be removed.
Racism
Under no circumstance will any form of racism be tolerated. No ifs, no buts, if you are racist you will be instantly banned without notification or any chance of being forgiven.
Be kind and courteous
Instead of simply skipping past other peoples' bids for help, try donating 5 minutes of your time to helping the users. No doubt in time your generosity will be rewarded tenfold.
Spam
Please do not post spam messages. If you continue to do so after being requested not to, you will be banned from creating content or posting comments for as long as the moderator sees fit.
Respect other members
If you wish to be respected, please be sure to respect your fellow users. It takes nice members to create a nice community, so be sure to be kind to users and guests alike.
Explicit Content
Explicit content will not be tolerated. If you upload or post pornographic content then it will be removed. If you persist to do so, you will be issued with a ban and loss of privileges.
Obey staff requests
Although we cannot force you to do anything, we would be extremely grateful if you could respect and obey all reasonable requests given by members of staff.
Copyrighted Material
If the content you wish to use is copyrighted, you must be able to provide evidence of expressed permission from the content owner/author when requested to do so by a member of staff.
Give credit to author
If you wish to quote content created by another member, please be sure to include something like "Originally created by [user]" and maybe a link to their profile.
Misplace Content
Please be sure to submit content to the correct areas of ColdCast. E.g. Videos belong in the Video Gallery. Photos belong in the Photo Gallery. Topics and Forums are not to be used for this purpose.
