Muscular Development Forum Rules
The following rules govern participation as a member of the MD forums.

Spam is unsolicited attempts to lure members off this forum to siphon our traffic for personal gain and profit. Posts should not discourage efforts by MD Staff to sell advertising plans in these forums. Likewise, posts should not show paid advertisers that people can promote for free; thereby decreasing the value of MD's marketing to potential online paid advertisers.

Spam is not providing proper attribution for works cited or leaving a "copy left" for the owner of original content. People can link back to various Web sites, but their post should be in context with a discussion meant for these forums.

User management: Infractions

Infractions allow forum Moderators to track violations of the publicly posted rules governing participation at the MD forums.

The following are a list of offenses (custom infractions and points may be issued based on Moderator discretion).

Inappropriate Language: 1 point
Insulted Other Member(s): 1 point
Irrelevant personal attacks: 1 point
Spammed Advertisements: 1 point
Talking against the MD family: 1 point
Trolling outside the Pit: 1 point
Discussing or soliciting illegal activity: 1 point
Disrespectful to women: 2 points
Moderator decisions are final: 2 points
Multiple accounts: 2 points
Racism: 2 points
Outing personal information: 4 points

Individual infractions expire after one month. Any member who accumulates 5 active points (red ) will be put in timeout for 30 days. This is the automated system. Timeouts can be issued by any Mod, for any reason, for any amount of time. Warnings (yellow infractions ) do not add points toward administrative actions - they are just warnings.
