Many of you may already be familiar with proper forum etiquette. The etiquette of this forum will follow many of the same common-sense guidelines, with a few little variations.
The Basics
1. No spamming.
This includes blatant advertisements, porn links, posting sprees (high volume low quality) or any material which derails or distracts from the core discussion. One-word posts or general fluff posts should be confined to the Fun subforum.
2. No Trolling.
The notoriously slippery term to define. If your comments to others are combative and escalate/flame an issue, rather than aim to resolve it, this is considered trolling. Arguing with mods about not trolling, can be considered trolling in some cases. Mods will aim to take these matters into PM, as to avoid derailing the forum.
3. Offensive usernames, titles, signatures and avatars may be modified at a mod's discretion.
4. Threads may be moved or split at a mods discretion. But generally a notice will be made about the move.
5. Mods and admins will not read any other member's Private Messages; posters will not quote Private Messages from others in the forum without the permission of the sender, this includes PM's from mods and admins.
About Typology
6. No discrimination of any types, races, personalities or people groups.
A note on types: it's ok to talk about the shortcomings each type has, as well as the full range of expressions surrounding them. Most anything can be suggested or postulated, so long as it's said courteously and/or with neutrality.
7. Other typology models (MBTI, JCF, Socionics, Enneagram, etc) are welcome in this forum. Discussions between these theories and CT should aim to be cordial rather than dogmatic. Headstrong dogmatism, from any theory or individual, can lead to a banning if it disrupts or dominates forum discussions.
8. Do not (re)post other people's personal information, videos or photos without their consent. In the case of a video typing request, screenshots are ok to post so long as they are accompanied with instructions for deletion. I'd recommend using Imgur which has a deletion link available for each upload.
