    * [r.2.10] You may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by testmy.net. Please contact us if you feel a word or URL is unjustly censored.

Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.
    * [r.2.13] You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria will be removed without notice.
    * [r.2.14] We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously! We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.
    * [r.2.15] Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.
    * [r.2.16] Public posts debating these rules and/or moderators' enforcement of such, will be removed without comment. We encourage feedback however and invite you to either post in this special section of our forum or contact Damon.
