 Forum Rules 
  

1. Do not post anything abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. This includes references in usernames, signatures, avatars, and PMs.  KEEP DISCUSSION PG-13.
  

2. Personal attacks, name calling, and threats to other members are not allowed. 
  

3. Do not flame or troll. This is when you start a topic or post just to anger or incite other members. 
  

4. Do not post copyrighted material. Posting part of an article is allowed, but you must provide a link to the original source and attribute the work to the original author.  Insider information may be paraphrased (put in your own words) if attributed to the original source.
  

5. Only stories with a reliable source should be posted in the 'News' category.  Please make sure to provide a link when posting a 'News' story.  Any opinion, rumor, or other Browns related discussion belongs in the 'General' category.

6. To contact another member, moderator, or the founder use the private message (PM) feature, do not start a topic to do this. 
  

7. Do not promote (SPAM) other websites in your posts, signatures, or PMs.
  

8. Finally, this is a business and if you are doing anything which the founder deems 'bad for business' you will be asked to stop. If you choose to ignore the founder, you'll receive a ban.
  

If anyone sees another member violating these rules, please send a PM to a moderator or admin. Do not respond to them. Be especially careful not to respond to personal attacks, name calling, and flames. When sending the PM make sure you include the URL of the topic in question.
