Forum Rules

[TCW]

Neither  the Administrators and/or Moderators of The California Wrestler.com   forums, are responsible for the privacy practices of any user. Remember  that all information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public  information and you should exercise caution when deciding to share any  of your personal information. Any user who finds material posted by  another user objectionable can use the REPORT function on the post to  notify the forum administrators. You can also send a Private Message  (PM) to any of the Administrators or Moderators to report questionable  content.

By participation on these forums, we are authorized by you to remove or  modify any data submitted by you to these forums for any reason we feel  constitutes a violation of our policies, whether stated, implied or not.

You are fully responsible for any information or file supplied by this  user. You also agree that you will not post any copyrighted material  that is not owned by yourself or the owners of these forums. Copyrighted  material includes, but is not specifically limited to, full texts of  online articles, copyrighted video, etc.

In your use of these forums, you agree that you will not post any  information which is considered soliciting, advertising, vulgar, racist,  harassing, hateful, threatening (this includes personal attacks)  abusive, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, or violates any  laws.

Advertising  of  camps, clinics (including free or paid  clinics), clubs or merchandise  is not allowed on the forums. If your post(s) contain logos or contact  information for camps, clinics, clubs or merchandise, this will be  considered a form of advertising;  your post will be deleted and your  account may be subject to suspension and/or a permanent ban.

It’s acceptable to advertise your sanctioned CIF elementary, middle  school or high school tournament or sanctioned association tournament  within the state of California. Any tournament not sponsored by a  sanctioned association is subject to paying for a banner  advertisement.  To qualify for free tournament advertising, participant’s checks must  be made out to the school district or the school’s wrestling booster  club.

As stated above, if there is a problem topic or post, report it. It will  then be decided upon by the forum administrators if the post warrants  removal or a warning. When a post is removed, users will receive a  notification as to why, unless it contains any of the actions listed  above. If a post does violate one of the aforementioned policies, a  “warning” will be issued. Flooding the board with spam-like comments are  grounds for immediate removal as are extreme instances of the  prohibited scenarios listed above (example: racist comments). Crudeness  is also grounds for removal without written explanation.

1^st Warning = Post removed and warning listed.
2^nd Warning=Post removed and user unable to post for one month.
3^rd Warning=Post removed and user banned

Users may request reinstatement after a certain time period, to be determined by forum administrators.
