Guidelines Have Been Updated: Please Read

I’ve updated the guidelines so that they are a little more clear. Here are the changes that were made:
Updated Moderator List
Removed a sentence in the personal attack area that mentions accusations about behavior that lack evidence. Moderators and Admins are not able to adequately prove that something is lacking evidence therefore it was too difficult to moderate.
The guideline now states:

The guideline now states:
Added clearer time frames for bans and updated when warnings would fall off of an account.No personal attacks on others. Personal attacks are comments that are abusive, defamatory, or derogatory comments, and name calling. No blatantly discriminatory remarks, this includes hate speech against any races, religions, and sexual orientation. No attacking children: There is a limit to everything.
Updated contact email addressesConsequences Can Include But Are Not Limited To:
• In Post Warnings
• Locked Topics
• Board Warnings - Board Warnings Fall Off After 7 Days
• 24 Hour Bans - After 3rd Board Warning in 7 Days User Can Get 24 Hour Ban
2 Week Ban - User Must Have Three 24 Hour Bans in a 60 Day Period
Permanent Ban - If a User Gets 2 More 24 Hour Bans After a 2 Week Ban Within 60 Days or if a User Engages in Serious Infractions Such As PII, Death Threats, Advertising Spam, or Any Illegal Activities
Other Consequences can be given out if we feel they will work better at enforcing the forums guidelines. Ex: Losing Anonymous Abilities, Mod Approval Posting, Losing Reporting Abilities in cases of revenge reports or spamming mods with reports to overwhelm them, etc.
