Forum Rules

Please realize that we come from different cultural backgrounds, ages, experience levels, morals, and more. In our mission to make this discussion board a pleasant place for all to stay, chat and discuss anything and everything about dogs, we -- the owner of DogBreedWeb.com web site and forums -- have adopted these forum guidelines and rules:

1. Each member is allowed only one (1) login account. Creating multiple accounts is prohibited and will result in suspension of all offending accounts.
2. Messages posted are the opinion and responsibility of the person making the post.
3. We are not responsible for any messages posted nor the consequences of following any advice offered within forum posts.
4. You agree not to hold DogBreedWeb.com or any employee or volunteer of DogBreedWeb.com liable for statements made within the forums.
5. You are responsible for you own posts.
6. By posting you grant us the right to republish your posts as we wish.
7. If you need to speak to someone personally, use private message.
8. Private messages for the sake of solicitation or promotion are not allowed.
9. Unsolicited advertising, link dropping, self promotion and solicitation are not allowed. The purpose of the forum is to educate and encourage fellow dog owners and enthusiasts. The more you give, the more you get. If you want to gain exposure, participate actively.
10. Vulgarities, whether they be language, images or other offensive materials are not permitted.
11. Multiple, repeated or meaningless posting will not be tolerated. Examples of this would be one word, "smiley” only, non-sense posts, etc. If this is done for the sole purpose of increasing your post count, we can prevent your post count from increasing from that point forward.
12. If you have a problem or complaint about the forum in general, or with another member, please either fill out a ticket or address it directly to the administrators or moderators. They will evaluate the situation and execute the proper actions.
13. Please only use English language. We have members from all around the world.

Avatars that are deemed offensive by our staff will be removed. Keep avatars "G" rated. Please do not use your avatar to make political statements.

14. We reserve the right to delete any message and/or restrict posting rights in our Forums for any reason whatsoever.
15. We can't anticipate every situation that may occur. For this reason, we reserve the right to delete any message and/or restrict posting rights in our Forums for any reason whatsoever.

We ask that members keep in mind that membership to this forum is a privilege, NOT a right. As a private forum, the administrator and moderators have total say as to which members are, and are not allowed. The same rule applies for posts and threads; anything deemed to be inappropriate, as defined by these rules, will be removed, and the violators will be disciplined accordingly.
