Forum Rules

General Rules

Attacking
Please do not attack other Knight Rider Online Members. We ask that you be tolerant, understanding and respectful of other people's point of view, and that if you strongly disagree with, and/or are upset by some ones comments, that you simply respond to them by stating your point of view. Should you attempt to criticize and/or ridicule others for their beliefs and/or opinions, you may be subject to disciplinary procedures.

Under special circumstances, we also reserve the right to issue immediate bans. Some of these circumstances involve, but are not limited to, racial and homophobic behavior, and hatful or threatening remarks.

If you are subject to, or witness, behavior that is in violation of this rule, we ask that you immediately report the post using the built in forum software.

Chat Room
Please note that due to the social nature of the chat room, its content may not always be suitable for those that are either under the age of 16, or of a socially reserved nature.

In addition to this, for bandwidth preservation purposes, we ask that you not abuse the ability to post images. In cases where images interfere with the normal operations of this community, we also reserve the right to remove them without notice.

Copyrighted Material
Please do not post requests for copyrighted material on the forum. This extends beyond full episode downloads, and encompasses unaired script details, short clips and musical accompaniments.

We also reserve the right to check the content of Private Messages in cases where copyright holders suspect that their rights have been infringed, as we’re still liable should the relative copyright owner wish to pursue legal action.

If you witness behavior that is in violation of this rule, we ask that you immediately report the post using the built in forum software.

Illegal Activity
Please do not encourage or engage in illegal activities on the board. This extends from requesting tips on burning copyrighted DVD’s, to asking how to commit murder.

If you witness behavior that is in violation of this rule, we ask that you immediately report the post using the built in forum software.

Meaningless threads
Please do NOT post multiple threads and/or posts with the exact same content, or a derivative thereof. We also ask that you refrain from posts such as “me too” when replying to a post created by another member as it adds nothing to the discussion.

Please remember, we don’t care about your post count, and neither should you.

If you witness posts such as these, we ask that you immediately report the post using the built in forum software.

Multiple Accounts
We don’t allow multiple accounts under any circumstances. If you pick a name, and are unhappy with it, please contact either Matthew, Mike or myself with the new name request. If it is unavailable, we will let you know.

Please keep in mind that whilst we’ll be happy to do this once or twice during the lifetime of your account, we will not do it every other day and/or week.

If you suspect that a member is using multiple accounts, we ask that you immediately contact either Matthew, Mike or myself using the Private Messaging system.

Signatures
For bandwidth preservation purposes, we don’t allow images to be placed in signatures. Should we discover any, we will immediately remove them, and leave a link to the image in its place.

In addition to this, we don’t allow attempts to create commercial gains by placing compensatory links in signatures. We don't make money from the forum, and neither should you.

If you see a member who is making a monetary gain from his signature, we ask that you immediately contact either Matthew, Mike or myself using the Private Messaging system.

Guidelines

Stay on topic
Please take note of the forum descriptions before you post. We also ask that you not post the same topic in multiple forums, as this in violation of our Meaningless Thread rule, and can also be considered spamming.
