This manner of management was overwhelmingly preferred by the early adopters, and thus will be instituted as policy. We have attempted below to outline specific guidelines that we will use in the management of this board. We reserve the right, however, to administer this board as best we see fit.

Our policies strictly govern the behavior of the users but are not strict "step-by-step" rules that our moderators and administrators MUST adhere to (i.e the 3strikes policy below). They do, however, give us guidance as to how to handle issues as they arise.
