Rules, Policies & Procedures
Staff decisions are final. Ultimately, staff has complete discretion over what is and is not acceptable on the site.
Any individual is welcome to post on topics of interest to the Members of DominosTalk.com whether or not you are a member of the any other group. DOMINOSTALK, INC. reserves the right to disable the board, limit access to the board, ban users, and edit or delete topics and posts at the discretion of volunteer moderators.
You are responsible for what you post, and what you read. All posts made are the opinions and views of the author and not necessarily those of DominosTalk, Inc. DOMINOSTALK, INC. is not responsible for the veracity or validity of any information posted here, nor do we vouch for the authenticity or the identity of any of the posters. DOMINOSTALK, INC. and its representatives will not be held liable for any information or message posted to any discussion forum and disclaims all liability resulting from any action or inaction taken as a result of reading or posting a message in
any discussion forum.
Be civil in all of your posts and refrain from using inflammatory language or expletives. Volunteer moderators will determine what is inflammatory using their own judgment, without direction from or appeal to the DOMINOSTALK, INC., its officers, or board of governors, except as may be required by the rules of the club
Posts that will be edited, deleted, or get you banned:
Posts containing offensive racial, gender, sexual preference, religious, political, or nationality-bashing language.
Any post containing language that is offensive in a public, family context.
Links to inappropriate content. Personal attacks on other posters or club members.
Comment on ideas, not people.
Flame bait. In other words: inflammatory messages posted with intent to provoke emotional responses. This is not to be confused with a sincerely held belief or opinion that differs from the norm and is expressed in a meaningful and congenial way.
Repeated posting of the same or similar messages, and "bumping" a topic more than once.
Cross-posts and link dumps.
Any post that violates the letter or spirit of any item described in this list, in these guidelines, or in any announcement or pinned topic posted by a board administrator or moderator.
Members are asked to not act as “back seat moderators”. If members note an issue which contravenes something in this policy document they are welcome to bring it to the attention of a member of the moderation team. Please use the “post report” feature to report posts. Do not respond to such topics yourself. Members who constantly “act” as moderators may be warned.
Public discussions of staff decisions are not permitted on the site. If you have any concerns or queries relating to a staff decision, please take it up in private with a member of the site administration team.
All members must be treated in a respectful and professional manner. All members should respect and adhere to the promotion of harmony within the community. Do not attempt to disrupt the community in any way.
No "Flaming". Please do not post any messages that harass, insult, belittle, threaten or flame another member or guest.
No "Trolling". Please do not post any topic that disrupts the peace and harmony of this board. Don't create meaningless threads with the sole purpose of starting a dispute. This includes messages in profiles and signatures.
No Offensive Material Please do not post messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, racist, sexist, discriminatory, and/or otherwise violate of any local or international laws. This includes links in your signature, profile, posted images, photos and avatars. Staff will ultimately decide if something is appropriate or not.
No spreading of any copyrighted material or DPLLC confidential information is to take place on this site without the expressed permission of the copyright holder, which must be attached to the material.
If something is a rumor. You MUST state so.
NO TRADE secrets. As a franchisee you have privy of certain information that would help a competitor. DO not assume this forum is security tight. Do not post anything you would not want to share with any of your competitors.
Passing (copy) on any thread or post is consider theft. This is a strike 3 offense and you will be deleted as a member without benefit of a “hearing”.
Policing
DominosTalk, Inc. operates a three strike policy. Users will be warned a maximum of three times for any and all offences in a three month period. If the need arises for a fourth warning a temporary ban will be put in place of between 1 to 7 days.
Arguing with team members after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes a temporary ban will be put in place as above.
Users who feel they have been unfairly warned are welcome to contact the relevant team leader, e.g. if warned by a moderator you should contact the Moderator team leader. If they feel you were treated badly they remove a warning.
Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban or other moderator action will lead to a permanent ban of your account(s). Circumvention includes re-registering or using an already registered account under a non-banned username. Other examples include changing IP addresses, using a new email account or other action that can be taken to evade moderator action to hide your identity as the owner of the sanctioned account.
An exception to the three strike rule applies when users contact team members personally (via any method) and post insulting, indecent or vulgar material. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent ban.
Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before implementing them. While DominosTalk,Inc. may consider lifting permanent bans from time to time this is a rare occurrence.
Signature Rules
Staff will ultimately decide if something is appropriate or not.
No signatures may include a message intending to disrupt the peace and harmony of this board.
