§5 Enforcement of these rules

1. The Eugen Systems forums are under the supervision of Eugen Systems Administrators and Moderators appointed by those. Moderators and Administrators, in their sole discretion, will decide whether Forum content is against these rules and set appropriate actions. Moderators and Administrators reserve the right to deny certain users access to the Forums if these rules are not adhered to.

§6 Notes


Please note that Moderators can’t always see everything. If you see anything that is against these rules, please use the report button (the “!” in the bottom right corner of any post or PM). Moderators do not and cannot read your private messages unless they get reported.

You can find a list of all Moderators HERE. Please note that user “Webmaster” is not an active Moderator but a placeholder account.

If you are new to the forum, please remember that your first two post need to be approved by a Moderator. If you edit your post, you'll need to get re-approved. Also, Private Messages (PMs) can't be sent before you made at least two posts. This is a necessary measure to prevent massive spam attacks and keep the forum a worthwhile place. We understand that this is annoying and would like to apologize for the inconvenience.

Moderators and Administrators may share any of your messages related to forum management for administrative purposes. If you feel the issue is too personal to be shared, please specifically state this in every Private Message and Moderation/Administration will respect this where possible.
