I've received a few plaintive e-mails from people who registered for this board, rushed to post five times (so they could gain access to our mods section), and yet failed to add their correct age and gender to their Forum profiles before posting.
Maybe some of you feel that our "adults only" rules are optional. Or maybe you think that you're a special person, who doesn't need to follow anyone else's guidelines. Well, guess what..? Every time a violator is discovered, that person's account is deleted and the individual in question is permanently banned from this board.
Am I being unreasonable when I ban such violators..? Nope... because our registration agreement, which ALL registrants are forced to read and accept before they can complete their registrations, reads as follows:
After you register and login to this forum, you will be able to fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information the forum owner or staff determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable.
YOU MUST ADD YOUR CORRECT AGE AND GENDER TO YOUR FORUM PROFILE IMMEDIATELY AFTER LOGGING IN FOR THE FIRST TIME. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN AND WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE DELETION OF YOUR ACCOUNT WITHOUT WARNING! THIS IS AN ADULTS-ONLY WEB SITE. UNDERAGE USERS ARE FORBIDDEN FROM USING OUR FORUMS. FURTHERMORE, ATTEMPTING TO POST MESSAGES ON OUR FORUMS WITHOUT FIRST ADDING YOUR CORRECT AGE AND GENDER TO YOUR PROFILE CAN AND WILL RESULT IN A PERMANENT BAN FROM THIS FORUM BOARD. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
THIS IS AN ADULTS-ONLY FORUM BOARD. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS FORUM COMMUNITY. ONCE YOU HAVE REGISTERED, YOU MUST LIST YOUR CORRECT AGE AND GENDER WITHIN YOUR VIEWABLE FORUM PROFILE IMMEDIATELY. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. IF ANY VIOLATORS OF THIS RULE ARE DISCOVERED, THEN THAT PERSON'S IP ADDRESS WILL BE SUMMARILY BANNED NOT ONLY FROM THIS BOARD, BUT POSSIBLY FROM ALL OTHER AREAS OF TESSMAGE.COM AS WELL.
As you can clearly see, our registration agreement is very specific on this point. It says right there, in big capital letters, that you must IMMEDIATELY add your age and gender to your Forum profile, BEFORE you start posting on this board. And it also says, quite specifically, what will happen if you do not abide by this rule.
We have hardly any rules on this board... but this particular rule is set in stone and NOBODY will be excepted from it. If you register for this board, then great... we're happy to welcome you to our community. But the very first thing that you MUST do when you log in for the first time is to add your correct age and gender to your profile. Period. End of line.
