Welcome to Starfleet Model Academy's 10 Forward forum!
Below is a short list of those basic guidelines.
1. All are welcome to post on the boards. When you do post, please make sure to keep the posts free of any foul language.
We are a board that is open to all ages and we must remember that there are words that our younger members may see and are
inappropriate for their age group.
2. All members are expected to maintain a level of friendly exchange when commenting on another members work or thread.
Constructive critiquing is fine and is often asked for by members seeking advice from others. However, going beyond that with negative
comments about the work or the member will not be allowed. You will be asked to cease and or banned from the boards if the activity
were to continue.
3. Please make your best efforts to place your posts in the proper area on the boards. For example, if you want to post a thread related to
your ongoing build of a model, that would go in our Current projects section. If you have a modeling tip or Hint
you have found, that would go in the Hints and Tips section etc, etc. I try to keep those topics in their appropriate areas so I may move
some threads from time to time to keep it organized as best I can.
4. Vendors. A vendor is someone who is offering something or some service at cost to our members. As a rule it is common on most boards
that vendors will announce or advertise their products and services which may be of interest to the group.
It is asked that all post's by vendors announcing their products or services be placed in Quarks Trading Post.
An exception may be for example if a member is searching for or asking about a related product or service in his thread.
In that case, a post from a vendor to help the member out and inform is perfectly fine. Vendors are not allowed to "hijack" a thread with
a sales pitch which was not invited to do so in this way.
5. Donations. Although there are many worthy causes for asking for donations related to many topics, they simply cannot be allowed
on these boards. The board is primarily based on model kit building and asking for donations can and has caused issues in other
communities which in turn led to misunderstandings and conflicts. It is not worth the risks involved to allow a similar situation here.
There are plenty of other avenues available for those who are involved with organizing that type of effort.
In closing we are just here for one thing and that is building Models and learning from one another, so have fun keep it clean
and lets do what we all love to do build models and talk scifi.
