RedLynx Code of Conduct and Forum Rules:

The Code of Conduct is a guide for RedLynx customers contributing to the official forums. RedLynx defines the rules and what is considered a breach of the rules, and reserves the right to modify its position at any moment. Disregarding any of the rules of this Code may lead to your account being suspended or closed.

Responsibility:

RedLynx cannot be held responsible for the actions or comments made by members of forums. Information published by users is done so under their sole responsibility. RedLynx reserves the right to remove any and all content published by a user without prior warning.

We strongly advise you not to give personal information to any third party, which could be used to identify you (social security number, telephone number, physical address, etc.). Also please note that RedLynx will never ask you for your password.

Code of Conduct:

When visiting the RedLynx Forum you must respect other users and their user rights. The following points must be respected by all, and will be enforced by RedLynx Forum staff:

Any suspected breach of the Code of Conduct will lead to further investigation by RedLynx Forum staff. RedLynx reserves the right to suspend any user's account without prior warning and start any procedure it deems necessary. RedLynx can forbid or remove any actions, communication or content if it judges them to be contrary to the laws in force at the time or detrimental to other members, RedLynx staff, or RedLynx's right in general.

When using the services provided by the RedLynx Forum, users vow not to engage in any illegal behavior or communication.

The user vows to respect the rules of conduct detailed in this Code of Conduct, when using the services offered by the RedLynx Forum.

At its complete discretion, RedLynx reserves the right to remove and sanction any behavior or publication that is considered unacceptable within the forums.

The user will follow all instructions given to them by RedLynx staff. Noncompliance of any request received from RedLynx will be considered a breach of the Code of Conduct and may lead to penalty.

The following list of forbidden conduct gives some examples of unacceptable behavior, but should not be considered as exhaustive.

Forbidden conduct:

Under no circumstances may a user use the services offered by RedLynx for the following:

It is forbidden to publish pornographic or sexually explicit content via the tools made available by RedLynx.

Any content deemed illegal, dangerous, threatening, abusive, obscene, vulgar, defamatory, hateful, racist, ethnically offensive, constituting harassment, or any other type of questionable content is forbidden.

Users vow not to use the identity of another person or a member of RedLynx staff. RedLynx cannot be held responsible for remarks made or advice given by a user.

Any conduct aimed at disrupting the smooth running of the forums is forbidden. Similarly, it is strictly forbidden to use the supports offered by RedLynx for advertising purposes. This includes posting links to projects that ask for donations.

The user vows to respect the law in its entirety. Whether voluntarily or accidentally, it is forbidden to contravene any local, federal, national or international law.

Any requests, promotion, advertising or linking of content protected by copyright for illegal purposes is strictly forbidden. The linking, naming or discussing of crackers, cracker crews and/or download networks is also prohibited. These rules also apply to leaks and other Internet software obtained illegally.

Any conduct that RedLynx, at its complete discretion, deems contrary to the spirit of the forum is forbidden.

Any discussion or circulation of exploits or cheats is not permitted, and may lead to exclusion from the service. Cheats and exploits should only be reported directly to the Known Issues thread.

Any reference or invitations to petitions and boycotts will be stopped, depending on the type and situation, and may result in action taken against an account.

Account security:

The user alone is responsible for the security of their account, including protecting their computer system and account password from piracy. Regardless, RedLynx vows to advise the user if they think that their account security is threatened. If an account turns out to have been stolen or used by an unauthorized third party, further investigation will be made by RedLynx staff, during which time the account will be blocked.

Underage users:

Minors require the consent of their parents or guardians to:
1. Take part in competitions
2. Be contacted by email
3. Register on the site
4. Create any entries, posts or comments.

Disciplinary policy:

RedLynx tries to offer users a welcoming forum environment. If this is compromised in some way, RedLynx Forum staff will investigate and try to be just and fair with the people involved. They will make a decision based on the available facts for individual cases that are not covered by the rules set out in this notice. In all cases, the ultimate decision-making authority shall rest with the administrators and moderators. Depending on the seriousness of the breach and the users' history, Forum staff may decide to take the following action:

A warning may be sent to the user who has committed the fault.

A user may be suspended for a period of time ranging from a few hours to a few days.

A user may have their account suspended indefinitely. This means that that their access to the forum will be blocked until an unspecified date.

Disputing actions:

Users who wish to complain regarding the conduct of moderators, either in the chat or forum may do so by a private message to the Community Manager. Public discussion of moderation on the forums will be removed and depending on the severity may be subject to actioning. All threads and posts pertaining to an action taken by forum staff will be removed immediately. Please send a PM, and we will be glad to personally reply to your questions as promptly as possible.

Final note:

RedLynx reserves the right to amend, remove or add to these rules at any time and without notice. We would also ask you not attempt to challenge or test our tolerance levels. Moderators and administrators reserve the right to modify the official forums and/or chat at any time, at their discretion, without prior notice.
