Rules are subject to change.
Rules for posting at Pax Humana:
We do not accept the following:
1) Advertisements: This is not a place for you to make money. (Automatic Banning: temporary, or permanent, depending on whether the guilty party is a well known user, or not)
2) Flaming: We at Pax Humana would prefer conversations stay civil at all times. However, we are also realistic and understand people become highly involved in their arguments. We only ask that the following be kept in mind:
- no physical threats (Warning)
- no stalking (following posters about on the forum only to insult them rather than to engage in discussion.) (Warning)
- no racial insults (Warning)
3) Pornography: We do not accept distasteful photos of nude individuals, or links to pornographic websites. (Automatic Banning: temporary, or permanent, depending on whether the guilty party is a well known forum user, or a spammer)
4) You may not post the personal information of other members, or of members of other forums, on this forum, unless they have publically done so. (Automatic Banning: permanent)
5) You may not post photos of other forum users, or posters from other forums, without their permission. (Automatic Banning: temporary)
6) Spamming: Creating numerous threads on the same subject is not allowed. The moderators, as a group, will judge whether someone has broken this rule. (Warning)
7) Rules for grammar and punctuation must be followed to some extent. We do not expect you to buy yourself a copy of the “Elements of Style,” but we do expect your posts to be readable. (Warning)
8) You may not have more than one account. (Automatic Banning: temporary)
*note: you may delete your old account and create a new one.
9) Hacking is a serious offense. (Automatic Banning: permanent, and possible legal measures)
10) No plagiarizing. (Automatic Banning: temporary)
11) Be aware that Pax Humana is hosted by a server in the United States of America, and we therefore subject to the laws of said nation. Any infringement of US laws is punishable. (Automatic Banning: permanent)
Note: Any member who receives two warnings for the same infraction will be temporarily banned from this forum.

The admin./mod. shall decide whether the infraction deserves the latter, or former.
