			<description>&#60;p&#62;The forum guidelines are as follows:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;ul&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Posting of direct or inferred threats of violence against other people or property that is not your own is completely unacceptable by any user and subject to immediate banning. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;No promotion of illegal activities. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Thread starters who are promoting their own material will be limited to two personal thread bumps. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Insulting or personally attacking other users is not allowed by any member. There is very little tolerance for violations, particularly for new members. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Off-topic posts - Posts that do not relate to the threads are subject to being deleted. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Topics posted in the wrong sub-forum are subject to being moved or deleted. Please understand the sub-forum division before starting a new topic. Suggestions for new sub-forums are always welcome. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Any form of antagonizing other members is not allowed by any members. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;If you are to be critical of another user's ideas or message please do so in a respectful manner. It is possible to discuss your points as to why you feel the way you do, ideally you should include alternate suggestions or acknowledge you have none. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;No posting of graphically offensive material. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Floods of low-value material may be subject to being moved into an alternate sub-forum or deleted. More tolerance will be allowed for established members. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;No posting of others personal contact information. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Use relevant and descriptive topic titles. Poorly titled messages may be renamed.  &#38;nbsp; &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Read the welcoming message for each sub-forum to understand specific guidelines needed to achieve the objective of that sub-forum. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;/ul&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Moderation Process  Users are welcome to report activity destructive to the community as specified in the guidelines by using the &#34;Report&#34; link.   Topics starters are welcome to report violations or hijackings of their threads.  Moderators will investigate reported posts and take appropriate action for guidelines compliance, this can include:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;ul&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Editing the post so it conforms to the guidelines. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;Deleteing the post or moving it. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;In some cases, a user will receive a PM warning or &#34;infraction&#34; about a violation of the guidelines. These will be kept private and no other user knows they happened. One main purpose of these is for the site staff to leverage a forum feature that keeps two moderators from dealing with the same issue. &#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;For extreme violations a ban can be issued (such as for advocating violence) or for obvious spam-bots.  If you would like to appeal the decision of a moderator or if you were banned and would like to appeal the ban send an e-mail to &#60;a href=&#34;mailto:forums@raffstar.com&#34;&#62;forums@raffstar.com&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;/ul&#62;</description>
