Forum Rules

The Wall Street Survivor forums have grown tremendously over the last year and we thank all of you for being a part of our growing community.

In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent future problems, please read the following rules. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact WSS Admin.

By use of the Wall Street Survivor Forums, you implicitly agree to the following rules and regulations. Failure to abide by these rules will result in the suspension of your access to this forum.

Rules:

1.      While we encourage debate and heated discussions, we will not tolerate rude, insulting, or sexually explicit posts. We want the Forum to be welcoming to people of all ages, genders, races, and sexualities. Therefore, we will not tolerate threatening posts that contain personal attacks (racial, religious, sexual preference or gender oriented) or inflammatory posts. (n.b. Simply using politically incorrect words like "faggot" or “***” or "***" may or may not be cause for post deletion and account access restrictions based on the context of the sentence. For example, if these words were used to describe offensive slurs, the user may not be banned. This rule is completely, 100% subjective and is based on the moderator reading the post at the time. Use at your own peril!!!) Our decision is final in these matters.

2.      Please do not post meaningless threads, one word (or short) posts, simply for the purpose of earning Loyalty Points.

3.      Spamming, as described by unsolicited advertisements, referral programs, chain letters, pyramid schemes, are also viewed as inappropriate on the Wall Street Survivor forums and will not be tolerated. This content will be deleted immediately.

4.      Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.

5.      While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative conversations about competitors products, we will not tolerate blatant ads or linking schemes. You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral.

6.      Even though this is an international forum, if you post in a language other than English, please also post an English translation for others to read.

7.      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.

Although the administrators and moderators of The Wall Street Survivor discussion forums will attempt to keep all messages that violate the above rules of this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. You agree that you are solely responsible for the content of your messages and not The Wall Street Survivor.

Forum Abuse Policy:

• 1st Offense - A polite Private Message from a Moderator pointing out the Forum Rules, in addition to the editing or deletion of the post
• 2nd Offense - Public warning on the message board plus deletion of post
• 3rd Offense - Moderators will discuss and possibly delete the user from the Wall Street Survivor forum

In extreme cases, we may bypass this proceedure and quickly delete any posts and ban any users.

Report Rules Violations:

Any User who believes that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact the WSS Admin directly on their wall or by contacting Customer Support. Upon receipt of such notification, we will make reasonable efforts to take such action as we deem necessary within a reasonable period of time. Since this is a manual process, you are advised that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

The owners of The Wall Street Survivor discussion forums reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread which might be deemed offensive to other forum participants.
