• Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.

• Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members.
  
• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.  As a general management procedure, we make a note of the IP address of all posters.
• We also do not allow posts that are sexual in nature or violate IBEW 220 Member Forum community standards. 
• IBEW 220 Member Forum administrators shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. We reserve the right to amend/delete such posts as necessary in order for the post to comply with forum rules.  We also reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.

• Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
• We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules, as access to our forum is a privilege and not a right.
