For those of you who actually read the rules when you registered to be a member of this site, please disregard. Others may need to review these rules to ensure they do not receive any warnings or infractions. These are the most common rules violations (extracts from rules):

V Posting Guidelines:

SCF offers a wide range of forums. Always locate the proper forum before posting. If you are unsure, contact a member of the staff to assist you.

Bumping a thread is only allowed after 8 hours have passed since you last posted if you are the last poster. Also, you may not bump more than once in an 8-hour period. You are not permitted to bump a thread if it is still located on the first page of the forum. Bumping is considered any post that is not in response to a previous post. This includes items such as “ttt”, “bump”, “list updated”, etc. Please note that this rule applies to the trading and buying/selling forums.

Posting a thread for the purpose of having someone give or look up a book value on an item is prohibited. If you are in trade talks, book values can be used and posted as long as the source is not cited.

VIII Language:
Any foul or hostile language used in SCF will not be tolerated. This includes any derogatory statements and profanity. In accordance, using symbols to represent letters or to cover letters/words is not permitted either as the words are easy to decipher. This includes any attempt to work around our foul word filter or using abbreviations for foul words. Words caught by the foul word filter will appear on the boards blanked out by * and an infraction will still be handed out for their use.

Direct or indirect personal attacks are strictly not permitted. Insults and negative attitudes are not allowed. It is better to walk away from a possible confrontation and come back with constructive arguments after you have cooled off.

All members have the right to their own ideas, beliefs and faiths. Members have the right to express these on SCF with equal respect and consideration if they are not disruptive.

XII Signatures:
Please keep your signatures limited to no more than 5 lines. You may also have a banner image in your signature. The size limit for the banner should be no larger than 100 pixels high x 300 pixels wide (45k size) and there is only to be one such image in any signature. Premium and VIP members are allowed 500 x 100 (75k size). Also, members cannot have a font size larger than "3" typed in their signature. If you want something larger than that, create a banner. Having a link to your personal site like Freewebs is allowed. Having a link to your business website in your signature is prohibited without having a link back to SCF. The link must be approved by the SCF staff. Please refer to the Advertising Guidelines and if you have any questions please contact the Off-Site Relations Manager.

Also, links to eBay stores are permitted in your signature only for staff members, ex-staff members and VIP members. No other auction or store site is permitted unless you are a site sponsor promoting your own store. However, you still can use the eBay profile link that's under your username when you post as well as post auctions in the Sites and Auctions Forum.
