FMA's Discussion Forum's Rules of Conduct

The Fabricators & Manufacturers Association has put the following rules in place for all FMA discussion forums to ensure enjoyment by all users. Our goal is to make sure these forums are a positive experience for everyone. If you have a problem or have caught something you feel is in direct violation with the rules, please email info@fmanet.com.

FMA staff reserves the right to remove any post, topic or person for any reason we see fit.

No vulgar language or profanity
This includes inappropriate words, inappropriate sexual references and other vulgar statements.

No slanderous or libelous posts
Knowingly making false claims about a company, organization or an individual is prohibited.

No advertising or product marketing. No commercial ads allowed.
An advertisement is categorized as an outright attempt to solicit business. Any such posts will be removed.

Do not engage in excessive exchange of confrontational postings. Debate is important, but users should not try to "pick a fight."

Do not include HTML in your postings.
Any mistake could make the remaining messages unreadable by other visitors. HTML can also be misused to link to inappropriate material.

No spamming.
Do not post the same message in every topic with different titles, but with the same message. Only post your message into the topic it most relates too.

While we encourage lively debate, we will not tolerate personal attacks.
Any person attacking another forum member will receive a warning and have his or her message removed. Any person who continues personal attacks after a warning will be removed from the forum.

Please keep topics to the nature of that board.
This is a metal forming and fabricating industry related site.
