We at Veeger’s Blog are dedicated to our friendliness and willingness to embrace all people.
In order to keep up that reputation, and to be able to act on instances where our reputation may be damaged, we have introduced a set of simple rules every member, poster and commentor must consider and follow.
This etiquette applies to all visitors and users at any time, on our Blog.
Keep in mind that all Moderators and Administrators are regular members just like you and offer their support in their spare time. Please respect that and be patient, even if you don’t receive an answer promptly.
Registration on this blog constitutes an agreement to this Code of Conduct, our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
1. BASIC BEHAVIOUR
- 1.1 Good behaviour is required
- Uploads, posts, shares or otherwise made available to the members, any content that we deem to be harmful, threatening, unlawful, infringing, abusive, vulgar, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, hateful, pornographic or racially provocative, ethnically or otherwise objectionable is not allowed on our Blog and we have zero tolerance for same.
- We enforce a no compliance breach by Email Message policy as a part of your expected behavior.
- The support you can receive should be available to everyone and hopefully not repeated too many times.
- 1.2 Illegal copied material (piracy) is not allowed
- Sharing, or requesting sharing, of illegal copied material (piracy), of any kind of copyrighted material, software, music, videos, photos etc, is strictly forbidden.
- Sharing, or requesting sharing, of serial keys or programs that give you access to programs without any need of serials (cracks) is not permitted.
- You are not allowed to share links to sites that provide or contain such content.
- Publicising of information from other media, except from the public domain, is not permitted unless there is a written permission from the copyright holder.
- Discussion about technology and protocols such as BitTorrent is allowed, as long as the discussion is not about transaction of copyrighted material. BitTorrent is used for many legal purposes such as distribution of open source projects.
- 1.3 Pornographic and provocative content is not allowed
- We have participants from a wide spread of ages and from many different beliefs that also come from the whole political spectrum.
- Try to remember that what might be appropriate between people of the same age or gender might not be appropriate between people of different age groups or opposite gender.
- Pornographic and sexually demeaning or provocative content will be deleted immediately.
- 1.4 SPAM, multilevel marketing and affiliated links are not allowed
- You are not allowed to market for or add links to commercial products or services anywhere on the Blog including your profile, unless written permission is given by the Blogmaster.
- Other unwanted information that would be generally classified as SPAM is also strictly forbidden.
- So called ‘affiliated’ links where the owner receives money, points or other services when someone clicks the link is not permitted unless you very clearly state that if anyone clicks the link it benefits you.
- We reserve the right to remove any information that can be interpreted to violate this rule, to ban the user who posted it and to block their IP address.
- We also have zero tolerance for repeated marketing of commercial products or services without written permission from the Blogmaster.
- 1.5 Complaints regarding moderators, administrators or users
- If a moderator or administrator has locked or edited a post of yours without really clarifying why the alteration was made, contact the responsible moderator or administrator in a polite manner via Email, asking them to clarify.
- However, keep in mind that you should re-read the Code of Conduct before sending a message to the one who moderated your post because being unaware of the Code of Conduct is not an excuse.
- If you have any complaints regarding a moderator, administrator or user they shall be sent via Email to the Blogmaster.
- 1.6 Criticism
- Any project related complaints are to be forwarded privately via our Blog’s contact form to the Blogmaster.
- 1.7 Blog Membership
- The Blogmaster reserves the right to edit, alter, suspend, delete, ban or blacklist any aspect of any member account for whatever reason he sees fit.
- The Blogmaster reserves the right to edit, alter or delete any posted material on our server even if the offence is not specifically covered by this Code of Conduct and to act in any manner that he deems is in the best interest of our Blog.
2. GENERAL

- Fields in the profile which are optional can be left blank if desired.
