Note: The following rules should be observed (extra focus on highlighted ones) ! The following is prohibited : 01) Inciting ethnic, national, racial or religious hatred and intolerance. 02) Soliciting violence and expressing threats. 03) Troll, i.e., disturbing discussions by texts completely out of the context of discussion, and Spam. 04) Violating privacy rules, such as, but not limited to, publication of a name and surname or other private data of the participants in discussions or third persons, except the well-known data about publicly known persons, publication of a third persons' e-mail, as well as violation of other privacy rules laid down by the ezboard's terms of use. 05) Use of profane words and expressions by the means violating these rules or disturb civilized level of discussion , or responding to the deleted texts, or replying to a banned participant in the discussion. 06) Insulting participants in the discussion. If participants are replying to an insulting text, they take a chance of having their response removed as well. Instead, it is suggested to urge the moderators to remove the texts containing insults, or the texts violating these rules by other means. 07) Texts violating the referred rules shall be removed. Participants having committed major violations of these rules shall be temporarily (after 2-3 violations) or permanently (after 4-5 violations) banned from the ezboard Illyria. 08) By posting a text at this forum, the participant in discussion grants non-exclusive license over the text to the owners of this forum. 09) Participants are bound not to infringe the intellectual property of third persons by posting at this forum. 10) These rules shall be impartially and equally applied to all participants, with no regard to the attitudes and opinions they had expressed in discussions. The board Illyria points to the fact that published texts express solely the attitude of their authors, but the board does not take any responsibility or liability, neither necessarily shares the expressed attitudes and opinions.

As I consider Illyrians but a branch of wider Hellenistic world (Hellenism being THE ONLY PROVABLE AND TRACEABLE cornerstone of ancient Balkans / Haimos including southern Illyria while Hellenism is by far the shiniest star from Europe and its cornerstone that shines over the entire planet) I take insults directed at Hellenes/Hellenism very personally (perfect way to get banned!).

People with marks attached to their nicks ('instigator!') are also being given clues since I have written in rules that constant Instigators (marked as 'Grand Instigator!') will not be tolerated and will be banned outright!

Important(about the rules): Attention to all!!! -All postings that are not direcly related to the subject topics will be deleted (when I have more time) -All postings where posters are insulting each other or other nations will be delated. -I am issuing my last warning to people who consistantly insult other participants and who insult other nations that they will be deleted. This is a reminder of the rules and simplifing them further 1)NO Provocations (that means no starting of provocative subjects which might be one step away from turning themselves to an all out flame war) 2)NO Extremism (that means no shovinistic and hatefull statements directed at others or other nationalities are allowed) 3)NO Primitivism (no cursing/acting primitive is allowed and this includes personal insults with/without sexual conotations. This forum is not about that.) 4)NO Spamming (no advertisements unless it is in designated forum for advertisements) 5)RE-Violators (of there rules) WILL be banned !!! 6)Promoting Intelligent Civilized (Adult) Discussion!!! (instead of distasteful childish and hatefull bickering and insulting with sexual conotations) PS: Big forum cleaning of trash postings is comming up and people who countinue posting them will be banned (first on a temp basis for a couple of weeks and if it is repeted on a permanent basis) in an attempt to make this a serious and respectable adult forum of people from western and southern Balkans as well as other parts of the world.

Addition: I have added so called "Forum Barbarum" (Forum of verbal Barbarians) where 'opposing parties' can freely trade insults with each other as much as they desire and the forum is without moderation (unless I deem some text to be simply too insane even for that forum). Topics that are full of insults will be transfered eventually to " Forum Barbarum " while individual postings full of insults will be deleted. Still my statements from the above post still remain true and uncivilized behavior will ONLY be tolerated at --- I have also created Insane Asylum Forum which is a type of Forum that is very similar to Forum Barbarum but with even less limitations in regards to posting and I also created Propaganda Forum which is a place where provocative propaganda belongs (instead of disrupting regular forums)!

AAdmin Forum Emperor! Posts: 693 (4/9/04 5:18 pm) Reply	Re: Rules of discussion to be observed !!! How can I explain this to you, comming to forums other that Forum Barbarum or Insane Asylum and making uncivilized postings is equivalent to coming to ones house and making a dump in the middle of the living room and expecting others to continue their activities as usual. Such posts produces other postings of similar nature (of course postings degrade gradually) and they escalate into low grade childlike insults (something allowed only in Forum Barbarum and Insane Asylum). You dont have to act like you love everyone or anyone for that reason, I am only asking that you express your ideas/opinions in a civil and adultlike manner.
