When you register on this forum, you may have read the Agreement, or you may not have. For those who (like me) generally skim-read such agreements, you can re-read it below.
All board users need to adhere to these rules, within reason. I say "within reason" because certain 'offenses' are more tolerated than others, for example profanity and obscenity has various degrees. Common sense generally dictates what's appropriate and acceptable behaviour. If you have a problem with the following agreement, or you are offended by any particular thread/post content, feel free to PM me.

Before the agreement, here's a General Guideline for getting along in Brackenwood:

Here at Brackenwood we have a 'be nice' policy. If you're opinionated and loud-mouthed, you love a good argument and are passionate about a wide-range of issues, that's all fine. If you start attacking others and their values (whether or not they're here to defend themselves), getting abusive or hateful, you'll be stomped on by our team of Mods and Admins.
In short, argue and shout your opinions all you like.. just be nice and we're good.

The rules below may be updated over time, as members invent new offenses
