REGISTRATION RULES & CONDITIONS

Registering an Account

* You will choose a decent clean username that you can use in front of a family member.

* You will choose a username that is not in anyway similar to the current staff on the forum.  They are highly trained robots and consider this a violation and may well zap your butt and fry you.

* You will use a proper e-mail address, not a throwaway one. Every now and again the site owner sends out a Forum E-mail, and you wouldn't want to miss those.

* If you choose to spam, or use a ridiculous registration name, or are a bot, that's just too bad.  The Forum Owner reserves the absolute right to change your name, e-mail, and account in any which way that is befitting, and denying you access in the process.

* Account Deletion. Yeah right, in your dreams, don't register if you don't like the rules. Anyone requesting deletion will simply be put in a group that cannot access the forum. After which all posts/pictures will belong solely to TreeTopChat.com and any site affiliated with it. If you do not agree to this please DO NOT CONTINUE with registration.

* You are responsible for remembering your password as passwords are not accessible by ANY STAFF MEMBER. So please don't forget it.  Writing it on the back of your hand isn't advisable.

* One username per member, more than one is just greedy and makes you look schitzophrenic.

Forum Behaviour

* You are as a member expected to behave in a manner that doesn't warrant the use of moderation, a white jacket or a padded cell.

* We may be a site for 18+, however posting links to Porn or other various graphic sexual acts are not permitted. People may have eaten and don't need to see bodily parts waving in their faces. Nudity is allowed, none of us are prudes, but it should be in good taste.  Anything found to be distasteful will be deleted.

* The messages and posts you may read are not necessarily the views of the Forum Owner, unless she posted them, in which case the woman is always right and don't you forget that.

* You are solely responsible for your posts, claiming the penguins did it or some other such get out clause won't wash.

* If you believe someone has violated the simple rules of the forum, you can inform a moderator who will inspect your complaint, and if in doubt refer it to the Forum Owner, who may laugh like hell at you or agree and deal with the issue in hand.  Please also remember that people have a life and the moment you have a whinge, doesn't mean it will be dealt with there and then. We don't sit at the computer waiting for complaints.

* You can post anything apart from the following: false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law.

* You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.

* This is a forum for people aged over 18, it may not seem it sometimes, but it is.  If you are underage or anyone has reason to believe you are underage, your account will be deactivated and you will be sent to your room.

Please take your time to read the site rules, this is to ensure you have a fun time
here and to ensure that everyone enjoys TreeTopChat.

CHATROOM RULES

* Do not enter and *idle*, you must either speak or if you need to go on a brb,
state this is what you are doing or you may be removed.

* Please do not PM a user you do not know without first asking permission, they may
not respond in the way you wish.

* If you do not like someone, type /ignore and their name such as - /ignore
Guest0111, and you wont get any more issues.

* Moderate swearing is permitted in our chatrooms, the use of the “C” word is
NOT. Please do not use this word or attempt to misspell it using the letter K. Any
user who does so will be warned by a staff member. A second time will result in an
immediate ban. Excessive swearing is not allowed on the main site forum. However we
are lenient and less offensive versions of swear words can be used.

* Anyone who impersonates a staff member will be banned without warning.

* We do not allow user names with “cam” or “msn” or “phone” in them. This is
because we cannot moderate this form of chat. Also if we consider your user name
to be overtly sexual in nature, we reserve the right to request that you change it.
Refusal to do so will result in a ban.

* Usernames must not contain offensive/sexually suggestive words. Anyone who logs
in using such names will be removed.

* No flaming/bullying/baiting of other users will be tolerated here. If you are asked
to stop please do so. Repeated requests to stop this behaviour will result in an
eventual ban.

* Logging in with more than one name may get you banned. At times we understand
that you may be removed from the room via your browser or internet crashing, alert
a member of staff should one be on duty and they will remove the name that is not
needed.

* Allowing someone else to use your name and password IS a bannable offence.

* Most chatrooms consider using CAPS all the time to be shouting. In TreeTops we
also consider this to be shouting or unnecessary.  Should you be asked to stop using
caps by a member of staff, please do so, although we do understand that sometimes
its easy to forget or do this accidentally. So this will be considered.  Users ignoring
staff requests, will be banned. NO EXCEPTIONS.

* You may exchange personal information such as your e-mail address in PM at your
own risk. Tree Tops will not be held responsible for any harrassment resulting from
users giving out personal information in private.

* Swearing at or disrespecting staff instructions will result in a ban. NO
EXCEPTIONS.

* NO 3rd Party links to be given out or URL to other chatrooms, unless permission
is given by staff, otherwise you will be kicked or banned. If someone tries to give
you a link in your PM, please inform a member of staff straightaway.

* English language only spoken in chat. Ignoring any requests to speak in English will
result in a kick or ban.

MESSAGE BOARD RULES

* No flaming/bullying/baiting of other users will be tolerated in the main forum. Should you have an issue with another member, please use the allocated forum [Get It Off Your Chest]. This ensures that the main part of the forum stays guest friendly. If you are asked to stop please do so. Repeated requests to stop this behaviour will result in a warning, suspension or ban.

* Anyone who impersonates a staff member will be banned from the site without warning.

* NO SPAMMING AT ANYTIME.

* If you wish to post personal family pictures then you do so at your own risk.

* Please ensure that you keep signatures within the site requirements. No more than
2 in your signature area at any time. Signature picture sizes are to be no more than 500w x 400h. Avatar
sizes are 140w x 250 and no more than 20kb in size. No hotlinking of images allowed unless the site being
hotlinked from allows this, all images are checked on a regular basis, any found outside of the rules will be
removed.

* Logging in with more than one name may get you banned. Allowing someone else to use your name and password will also be a bannable offence.

* Advertising of your own site in your signature and avatar is not permitted. Only 1 advertisement per forum
allowed to be posted in the affiliates forum. Please use this, and the space found in your personal profile to
advertise. If your site contains material that is deemed pornographical it will be removed.
If you need any assistance with this please do not hesitate to ask in the appropriate forum. No
hotlinking is permitted either. We require a link back to this forum also. We will visit and check your forum.

* If you believe a user has posted something that is breaking our rules, please use the report function found
to the bottom right of the post itself. As the owner I will be notified of this via e-mail and I can deal with it very swiftly.
Thank you for your co-operation on this matter.

* We do not allow user names with “cam” or “msn” or “phone” in them.

* Usernames must not contain offensive/sexually suggestive words.

* Most message boards consider using CAPS all the time to be shouting. In TreeTops we also consider this to
be shouting or unnecessary. Should you be asked to stop using caps by a member of staff, please do so,
although we do understand that sometimes its easy to forget or do this accidentally or it may be a reaction to
a post. So this will be considered. Users ignoring staff requests, will be warned, suspended or banned. NO
EXCEPTIONS.

* You may exchange personal information such as your e-mail address in PM at your own risk. Tree Tops will not
be held responsible for any harrassment resulting from users giving out personal information in private.

* English language only on the forum. Ignoring any requests to speak in English will result in a warning,
suspension or ban.

* If you have a complaint about a staff member please e-mail treetopchat@live.co.uk

* No file-sharing, warez, porn or any other illegal activity is NOT permissable on this forum. Anyone found posting such material may be suspended or banned.

* These rules may be amended at any time, it is your responsibility to read them on a regular basis as ignorance is no excuse. The contents of this agreement may change and will be e-mailed to users, therefore it is advisable to keep your e-mail
account up-to-date.

Thank you.
