Ignoring or breaking any of these
rules is grounds for deleting the thread or post. Habitually breaking the rules
of the forum will be grounds for deactivating membership. If a For Sale or Wanted
listing is placed in the wrong category we reserve the right to either delete it
or move it to the correct category.
1. NO personal attacks. NO negative true stories. NO rumors. NO attacks of any
kind, even if they are factual or related to how one person does business which
does not live up to the expectations of another person. If the post has to do with
a negative comment of any kind towards a member, it will be deleted.
2. NO religion, politics, or philosophical discussions of left or right, right
or wrong.
3. NO lewd or off color language. Minor profanity (Damn It!) is okay.
f**k - not allowed
m****r f*cker - not allowed
G*d D*mn - not allowed
ass - allowed, it's a donkey afterall.
p*ss - allowed
s*it - allowed
etc. etc. So, light profanity is okay, vulgar profanity is not. Directing extreme
vulgar language to any forum member may result in getting your a** booted outta
here.
4. Topics can stray off the movie poster/movie category as long as it doesn't become
habitual.
5. Announcements of items for sale or wanted are permitted as long as they relate
to movie posters, are placed in the appropriate category (For Sale or Wanted) and
are done in a civil way. That means, posting a list instead of 100 separate
threads for one hundred different items for sale is wrong. Post them all in one
thread. It is recommended that you post the asking price. This isn't required, but
you will make everyone angry if you don't (lots of ugly private emails) , and you
will probably not get any response.
We will implement a marketplace as soon as possible in the future.
Eventually, when ICMP has an operating marketplace we may require that postings
of for sale or wanted items be made in the marketplace before being announced in
the forum; that way, we may eventually earn enough commission revenue to cover our
overhead.
6. BUMPING or posting to a thread in order to move it to the top of the forum is
permitted as long as it is not abused. Bumping your for sale postings over
and over in order to keep them at the top of the forum is not allowed and could
result in getting your postings deleted.
7. We will not require sponsorship, so that collectors who are occasional sellers
are not penalized.
8. We will add a donate button for those who are generous enough to contribute
to the financial support of the forum.
9. We will forbid the cross-posting of for sale announcements in the talk section.
Such future posts will be deleted.
10. We will allow the "include" post where a discussion about a poster
brings an offer to sell that poster from Kirby or anyone else.
