We ask that you follow our guidelines in order to keep Warehouse.forum an enjoyable environment for everyone.

Community Guidelines
Respect other W.F members in your posts, private messages, visitor messages, and other conversations.

If you disagree with someone, please do so in a dignified manner and refrain from using personal attacks.

Keep your criticism constructive and avoid posting anything that belittles another user.

Do not intentionally provoke or instigate a negative reaction out of another user. This is also known as trolling.

If another user is disrespectful or makes a personal attack, do not attack them back. This will create a lengthy series of attacks known as a flame war.

Do not interfere with someone else's trading thread, including policing prices, advertising a competing deal, or criticizing someone else's proposed offer. Only post in the thread if you are interested in buying or selling from the user who created the thread.

Publicly blacklisting other users is not allowed. If you have a on site issue with someone, use the report system.

Do not target, harass, publicly criticize, or make snide remarks towards staff members of Warehouse.forum As volunteers, staff members devote their free time to running the forum and should be allowed to do so without being targeted.

Post Quality
In order to keep forum discussions meaningful and substantive, posts are expected to have a certain level of quality. Posts and threads made in The Basement are generally an exception to most post quality rules due to the nature of the board. The following types of content fall under post quality violation and may be removed or moved to The Basement at a moderator's discretion alongside a warning or suspension:

Poor-quality replies that add little or nothing to further a thread's discussion.

Low-content replies such as "lol", "this," or an emoji accompanied by no other text. Instead, use a reaction or contribute to the discussion by explaining your opinion in more detail.

Poor-quality threads which offer little meaningful content to the forum or encourage others to make low-quality posts.

Incoherent threads or posts with purposely poor grammar.

Text that contains entirely non-English languages without translation.

Threads and posts created solely to advertise your blog, forum, Tumblr, YouTube, website, shop, contest/entry, etc. Instead, use your signature to share these websites, but be sure to follow the signature rules.

Large blocks of copied or plagiarized text from external sources not contained within quote tags.

Repeated or constant behavior that is overly negative, toxic, or inflammatory.
