Since this is the place the community choose to stay, it is time to post about our forums rules and state the "culture" of our forum.
Members who violate the rules will receive a warning level that counts as a strike, after 2 strikes their warning level will reach 100% and the member is going to be banned. The amount of time of the ban will be discussed by the staff. If you receive a strike but your beheviour changes, it will be worn off after 6 months.
If you come across any post or member that breaks the rules, you should use the report feature, so all staff will be notified. Do not feed the trolls! Just report them.
About the "Member Services" subsection:
In the "miscellaneous" section we have the "Members Services" subsection where members can offer services which can or can not be paid.
The GenArchivist forum encourages skilled members to offer their services and help those in need. All the members that wish to offer paid services must first contact administration for approval.
Any non-approved member offering paid services is going to receive infractions and related posts/threads are going to be deleted. All transactions will be happening OUTSIDE the forum at user's discretion and at their own risk. Any problem related with purchase from these members must be treated between buyer and service provider.
Any kind of cheating or deception from the service provider will result in IP ban and further legal procedures may or may not be applied.

It is natural to disagree with other people but remember: no agressive language should ever be used. Treat others with respect, if you dislike someones posts you can ignore them. In fact, there is a funcionality that does that, just go to the member's profile and hit "add to ignore List" as simple as that. Trash talk is strictly forbitten. Users who violate the rules posted here will receive infractions. The posts containing the violation(s) will also be removed.
- The GenArchivist is a forum for free and honest discussion. It is not a pulpit to proselytize or to promote certain viewpoints that would be better-suited to a personal blog. Such behavior is prohibited. What constitutes the aforementioned, and whether infraction delivery is warranted, will be determined at the administration's discretion.

- Please refrain yourself of using any kind of animated GIFs, so we can preserve forum's good performance.
- Political and religious discussion is currently prohibited.
- Threads or posts forwarding requests for ethnicity guessing or 'classifications' based on the pseudoscientific precepts of 'racial taxonomy' are automatically considered as both devoid of substance and trivial. Such content will be deleted without prior notice. Please note members who persistently defy this aspect of content moderation will be sanctioned as deemed appropriate by the administration.
- No Doxxing!
- Members may have only ONE (1) account in the forum. Again, no sockpuppets are allowed.
- Spam of any kind will not be tolerated (threads, boards, messages etc).
