    Smile Forum Etiquette

    Forum etiquette means maintaining a standard of posting behavior that is acceptable and appropriate. Some lines must be drawn for the safety of all posting on the forum. In most cases, following these guidelines will keep you out of trouble during your stay here at THC Talk.


    Posting etiquette

    • Keep thread titles direct, descriptive and accurate.
    • Be respectful to new members asking questions - we were all new at one time.
    • When asking a question, try to provide as much information as possible.
    • Do not create multiple threads for one topic or post your thread in more than one category. Posting the same thing over and over again is called scrolling, and will not be tolerated.
    • Use caps and repeated punctuation wisely. THERE'S NO NEED TO SHOUT!
    • Keep signatures limited to 5lines of text, and limit signature images to 500 wide x 110 high.
    • Use bbcode to clean up extremely long signature links by displaying link text rather than URLs.
    • Bump threads judiciously. If a thread has no new posts since the last bump, please don't bump it again.
    • Make sure you're understood, even by non-native English speakers. Try to write full sentences, and avoid text-message abbreviations or slang.
    • Do not make posts requesting the locking of another user's thread within a thread. Please use the PM system to contact a moderator if you believe a thread or post is in violation of the forum rules. Moderators online will be shown on the forum home page, under Currently Active Users at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, you can use the 'report post' feature to inform mods and admin by clicking on the exclamation mark warning triangle found in the bottom left hand corner of each post.
    • Please use the search facility! Avoid posting duplicate threads about questions that have already been answered.


    Behaviour – Help keep the forums a pleasant place to use

    • Remember the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.
    • Keep posts relevant to the topic being discussed in each thread.
    • No personal attacks: don't flame, troll, insult, harass, threaten, rant, etc.
    • Be respectful when posting about religious, political, or otherwise controversial content.
    • Keep posts clean: free of vulgarity, racism, profanity, and general bigotry.
    • Work out any differences politely.
    • Do not impersonate others.
    • Do not post personal information about other members.
    • Do not publicise private conversations between yourself and other members.
    • Do not send repeated PMs or encourage other players to PM bomb any forum member.
    • No advertising/spamming.
    • Have a sense of humour!

    Behaving as a reasonable adult, even in the face of being flamed, is usually the best course of action. If a poster becomes harassing, obscene or personal, do not retaliate. You can use the 'add to ignore list' facility and/or use the 'report post' button to inform a moderator or forum administrator.

    Illegal Activities – What to avoid.

    • All the forum rules can be found here, please take the time to read them.
    • This is a cannabis website: threads with class A drugs as the topic are not acceptable. An occasional mention is unavoidable but we do not want threads started about other substances.
    • Do not post copyrighted articles or plagiarise other people's material without permission or giving credit to the original author.
    • Do not share accounts.
    • Do not return to the forum on a duplicate account if any of your accounts is currently suspended.



    Moderators and Staff – We’re here to help!

    • Respect the decisions of the moderators and staff.
    • If necessary, we will remove posts or users who repeatedly violate our rules.


    These guidlines have been introduced so we can keep the friendly THC vibe that was the reason you and I joined this community for in the first place, members who do not follow these guidlines will not be welcome here and will be delt with appropriately.



    A big thank you to the THCtalk MODs for assembling these guidelines

    Don't change or prevent the voting rules in the middle of a competition. It tends to piss off the competitors.

    Well the sin bin will probably hardly be used but it is just there for kind of repeats of minor offences, a way of giving people an official last chance kinda thing, so don't expect much activity there but it's better to have it than not have it I think.
