Forum Rules
Registration to this forum is free! We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below. If you agree to the terms, please check the 'I agree' checkbox and press the 'Register' button below. If you would like to cancel the registration, click here to return to the forums index.
Please note that you must be 18 years or older to join winnipegheights.com. Please keep all discussion friendly, clean, and honest in order to make it an enjoyable experience for everyone participating.
Below you will find a list of rules, and a brief explanation of some terms you will hear a lot on the boards. We will ask that you follow these rules, use common sense, and just generally help make winnipegheights a good and friendly place.
Please know that no member of the winnipegheights.com administration/staff will ever contact you for your email address, password, or any other personal information. No member of the staff will ever contact you for any of the above, as the administration, and only the administration, has access to these three things if you wish to keep it private. If anyone contacts you for your password, please report them to us immediately so we can stop the imposter.
Please note that no email you receive from this forum goes unsolicited. When you register, you can opt to receive administrator mailings or not. If you ever complain about getting these emails, it will be ignored. The registration page clearly states you can deny getting mail from us. Any threat of legal action will not be taken seriously, as the forum emailings do not get sent to you unless you permit it.
Please do not give out any personal information such as phone number, postal address, postal code, last name, or anything you do not wish others to know. If you choose to ignore this request, we cannot be held responsible for the consequences. First Name, Age, Gender, Location, and Birthday are all optional upon registration. As stated above, only email address, username, and password are required. Please know privacy is very important to us; we will never divulge your email address to anyone without first asking your consent. If you get "spam" emails from a member (this can occur if you check "Yes" for show email on the registration page) please report the email address to us so we can investigate.

Off-Topic Posts - Any post that is either irrelevant to the topic of discussion, or forum is classified as SPAM.
Intentional Post Count Raising - Posting comments just to raise your post count is considered as SPAM. A common instance of this is replying to questions that have already been answered and repeating the answer (see; Bumping Dead Topics), or just posting nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with that forum or discussion at hand.
One-Word Replies - One-word replies are classified as SPAM, unless otherwise noted in that specific forum's rules.
Bumping Dead Topics - Bumping a topic that has not been posted in in over a month is considered SPAM. If a specific forum's rules notes a different time frame for classifying a thread as "dead", that is the time frame that you are to follow. One month is the standard time frame for classifying threads as "dead".
Personal Member-To-Member Threads - If you post a thread directed at a specific member, it may be classified as SPAM. Please use the Private Messaging function to contact members privately about personal matters, or discussions.
Insults - Any type of insult directed from one member to another member. Please remember that there is a big difference between "criticism" and "insulting".
Homosexual Slurs - Any type of homosexual slur directed from one member to another member, whether it'd be false claims that the member being flamed is a homosexual, or mocking a homosexual member for their sexual preference.
Sexual Slurs - Any type of sexual slur directed from one member to another member, whether it'd be describing explicit sexual behaviors involving the member being flamed, or typing sexually explicit slurs using the likeness of the member being flamed.
Racial Slurs - Any type of slur directed from one member to another member or ethnic background insulting a specific ethnic background.
Trolling - is where a member provokes another member into an argument or flame war by means of flaming the member, or making a post when the member knows full-well that it will cause an argument or flame war.
Closed topics - If your post is closed or deleted, do not start another thread dedicated to why your post was locked. If you have a problem, contact a member of the Administration
Adult Content – Images containing any types of nudity are prohibited
Avatars - You Require 20 Posts before you can use an avatar. If you are found linking winnipegheights.com avatars for use on other forums your avatar access will be disabled and your account could be terminated.
Post in Proper Forums - Many posts in the Lounge belong in other forums. If a thread is car related it probably does not belong in the Lounge. Do not use all CAPS in your posts.
Signatures No more than 5 lines of text. No Vendor Advertising. Smiles are allowed. Please limit yourself to 5. Long Signatures make threads all cluttered.
Advertising – Vendor Advertising is NOT allowed anywhere on winipegheights.com without consulting the administration. If you wish to advertise, please contact the Administration at info@winnipegheights.com.
