General Rules
Most of the following rules are just common sense.
By signing up to The Tower Library, you agree that you will have emails sent to you from the Admin, informing of updates. You can opt out of this in your profile.
All staff and admin members have the right to delete or edit posts and threads or to terminate members accounts if the following rules are broken.
This applies to all the forum subjects, and to all members.
Please no personal or aggressive attacks on any other members, such as name calling or other insults.
Members can discuss what they wish as long as it is not with hateful intent, or insults directed at another forum member.
If anyone is being abused or threatened at any time please contact a member of staff via private message, and it will be attended to as soon as possible.
Please remember that people have different opinions and ideas that might differ from yours, or even offend you. The only basic rules here are no direct insults to other members, or deliberate attempts to start arguments or conflicts.
No aggressive, obscene, foul language is allowed.
Any posts or threads that offend you, there is a "Report Post" link that you can find at the bottom right of each post next to the "back To Top" link, it will alert an admin or moderator and if the post or thread is deemed offensive it will be removed.
No photos or video of a pornographic nature are allowed. Links to such pornographic material are also forbidden. Photos and videos or links to photos or videos of real extreme violence, injury or graphic depictions of real death are not allowed either.
Links and photos to movie type violence (Not real violence) are allowed, but a clear warning of offensive adult content should be clearly stated before the link to any video. Links to bad language are allowed, but again please clearly state before the link, a warning of its offensive and adult nature.
You must be 13 years of age or over to join The Tower Library.
Please do not double post, such as make duplicates of the same post on more than one thread. Please do not also make connecting posts one after the other on the same thread, unless each post is clearly addressing individual members previous posts on the thread. If you make one post then want to add to it, please do not start another new post, use the edit function to add to the one you just made.
Please do not expect people to reply to your posts or threads straight away. If someone does not reply to your messages as fast as you would like, please do not add another post to bump the thread up to the top of the forum topics if no one else has replied. You are free to revive old threads that have not been active for a while, but only if the last person to post on the thread is not yourself, or unless you have something new to add.

If a moderator Private messages you and asks you to re-frame from something, or a moderator deletes or edits a post, please do not take it personally, it is not a big deal so do not make it one. Some rules might seem annoying or silly to you, but there is a good reason for all the rules so that the forum can run as efficiently as possible.
With the exception of serious rule breaking (Serious rule breaking will result in an instant ban) people who abuse the rules will be given a warning, continuous breaking of the rules will result in a ban
