Forum Rules! Please read before entering or registering!
1) YOU are responsible for what YOU post: I’m not taking the heat for you, plain and simple. I run and pay for the board, THAT’S IT. If you post something that is either (a) illegal or (b) upsetting to someone in real life, its YOUR PROBLEM and the finger gets pointed at you. If a member is offended by something that is posted, PM me or the moderator of that category immediately and we will look into it. DO NOT take it upon yourself to “correct” the matter on your own, let us do our job and resolve the dispute. On that note, any picture or content that you own is yours and yours alone. PI at Night will not be held accountable for any copyright issues. We will make every REASONABLE effort to remove posts at your request.
2) No flames and/or Trolling, ever: I don’t care if you carefully word your post; if its intention is designed to upset someone, then it’s not allowed. You ARE allowed to disagree with another member and state your opinion. Saying “I think you are wrong because…” is ok. Saying “You’re a fucking moron!” is not. THREATS OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AT ALL!
3) We are adults, act like one: We all agreed that we are over 18 years of age. This site deals with a mature subject matter, act accordingly. Childish behavior is strongly discouraged. Some people have seemed to have forgotten that our travels are all about having fun. For the majority of you itâ€TMs a vacation spot!!! Let’s all try to be a little light-hearted and have FUN.
4) Racism strictly forbidden: Holding one entire group accountable for a single person’s action is retarded. Saying something like “All Filipinos are…” or “All Koreans are…” is not acceptable. Calling a group a derogatory name is not acceptable either. For instance saying, “I just love it how Flips….blah blah blah” is a no-no and you will be warned.
5) No spamming: If you are a business owner you are MORE THEN WELCOME to go ahead and post some events you have coming up, however talking about your business in every other post is NOT allowed either. My site is not an outlet for you to fly a banner to get as much money as possible, ok?
6) Post in the appropriate category: I have categories all over the board. Just about everything Philippine related has a home somewhere. Posting a good joke, funny picture, or general chit-chat belongs in the “Random Brainfarts & Blurts” not the “AC Barhopping” section. I will move posts accordingly and either the moderator or I will let you know why in the body of the post. Let’s try to keep it organized so this board doesn’t get cluster-fucked.
7) No fake nicknames & No sharing passwords: This board “self-moderates” in that I am able to see the IP address of EVERY post as well as other usernames that use the same IP address. I realize some of you work together, so that is not an issue. However, be aware that if you cannot say what you want to under one name alone, then i’s not worth posting. The EXCEPTION is to people that own a business here and would like to be able to enjoy the board and relax without being “Politically Correct”. If this is the case, simply PM me your reasoning as well as the names you wish to use. If approved it will remain confidential and UP TO YOU to maintain that confidentiality.
NEVER EVER EVER show this board to a local: Some people think it’s cute to mention to the girl that he saw her picture at “so-and-so”. BELIEVE ME when I tell you that IT IS NOT. All you do is upset the girl, upset members, and piss me the hell off to the point of banning you if I find out who it was. Believe me that if I recognize the girl, I will get the story out of her alot easier then you think. To top that off, once I find out it was you, I will make a special post dedicated to your name and why you were banned and it will be via “Global Announcement”. Like the first 2 out of 3 rules of the movie “Fight Club” – “You DO NOT talk about PI at Night!”. Consider this a “For Foreign Men Only” club and KEEP it that way. I got through alot of personal time to make sure that we keep it that way, even to the extent to banning certain Internet Cafes that I know the majority of girls visit.
9) No harassing the moderators: I put a certain amount of trust into the people that volunteer their time to make this board a fun environment. They do it for free, and I personally pay the bill and have never accepted any sort of payment for this site. With that in mind, please respect them as the people that actually CARE about making this site fun for 99% of the visitors. If you have a problem with a moderator, PM me directly and DO NOT make a thread about it. As you can tell I am rather active on my own site, and when it comes to resolving issues I remain as neutral as possible. I will always respond to these type of complaints sent directly to me.
10) No underage crap! I don’t care if it’s a “Watch your ass because I got this one girl that said she was 18 and she was really X years old!” Seriously DO NOT post anything about it. Think about it, do you REALLY want to publish that for the whole world to read? It’s AGAINST THE LAW here and just about everywhere else in the world. Also, if I suspect that you are trying to find information on underage activities, you will get ONE PM from me to briefly explain your intentions. Failure to answer will be banishment from the board. Rape or statutory rape is punishable by death by Philippine Law, I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! You will be instantly banned if you mention it.
11) Members ARE NOT Enforcers: I have moderators; I don’t need Hall Monitors/whistle blowers telling other members how to behave. Your job is to have fun here; mine is to make sure that the majority of members have fun as well. We have a special section for moderators to discuss events and what-not behind “closed doors”. PM one of us if you would like us to put a topic on the table.
12) DO NOT make useless posts: The moderators and I have better things to do then sort through useless f’ing posts. I’m also not interested in watching you try to get your post count up either. If you got something to say, say it. If it’s something stupid like “Wow” or “Neat” or “Uh-huh”, DON’T BOTHER POSTING.
13) Posting Pictures: For strict compliance! Absolutely ZERO posting of pictures that has a child as the subject, subjects, foreground or background. We are fairly certain that any sort of tourist type of pictures can be taken and displayed without minors in them.
No Posting other peoples pictures from other websites!!!!: We don’t need that kind of drama of people accusing us of stealing pics to beef up this site. ALSO, there is a certain amount of trust that goes into posting pictures. If you HAVE to save them, keep it for your personal viewing and DO NOT EVER post a personal picture you find on this board on another website unless YOU are the owner of the picture and/or you have permission.
14) Military Personnel Rule: AGAIN for strict compliance! This rule applies to all “Active Duty” and “Retired Military” members regardless of your country, although it is pointed at all U.S. Military members due to the U.S. Military taking a keen and very active interest in Human Trafficking and prostitution, both of which are punishable under the UCMJ. A member we are aware of, was court marshaled and discharged for the use of the Internet/Message Board postings regarding military personnel taking and enjoying leave in places such as the Philippines and Thailand.
This being the case, there will be absolutely no use of military email addresses for registration (i.e. no .mil .gov .army etc). on this site and no identifying what branch of service, unit, location, mission or exercise you are or have been assigned to or involved in. Members failing to adhere will have their account and all posts deleted without question.If you are a retired U.S. military member, you are still subject to the UCMJ and as such, there is to be no posting of classified or what appears to be sensitive information. NEVER give advice to other members on how to get around the rules and regulations of the military or the UCMJ. NEVER speak the word “Military” or make a Military type post with the words “Bar Fine, EWR or Prostitution”. First offenders will be given the standard warning per board rules, repeat offenders will be suspended for 7 days and a third offense will see you banned entirely from this site. If you are Military personnel from countries other than the U.S., you are also subject to this same rule and you are encouraged to make yourself fully aware of the military rules of your country, governing the use of the Internet/Message Boards and travel to destinations such as the Philippines and Thailand.The Military Personnel Rule is for your benefit as much as it is for this site. It is not illegal to be in the military and be a member of this site, we just don’t want to see you being investigated for something you may not be fully aware of or letting sensitive info slip out is all..! Do not for one minute think Big Brother is not watching… HE IS..!
The LAST Rule! – The “The unwritten rule that NEEDS to be written: Fucktard Rule”?: This rule is for the members that “Just do not get it”, the ones who have trouble interpreting all the rules above. This board is a community of reasonably “like minded” members who mostly enjoy the PI and all it has to offer. The Moderating Team on PIatNight spend a lot of time keeping the board in order for all to enjoy. The board has a certain 7quot;harmony” and the members mostly post within the “ethics” of this harmony, disagreement and debate (within reason) between board members is fine, but if you start running around “pissing off” members and dribbling shit all over the board it is not..!
So, if you continually are getting into… * “Pissing Contests”, arguing with members just to piss them off or draw them into arguments… * “Trash Talk” towards members of the board or people of the Philippines is not welcome. Do not misunderstand this, we all know the PI is a P4P destination but there is a certain amount of RESPECT that is expected towards everyone, members and the people of the PI (yes, bargirls included), saying “I think all bargirls are lying prostitutes” is acceptable, saying “They are all filthy rotten lying whores with cottage cheese growing out their pussies” is not..! Same goes for trash talk towards members… * “Using Fake Nicks” We have had problems in the past with guys registering several fake nicknames just to stir up trouble on the board or between members, do this and you will be shown little leniency by the Moderators… * Wildly different IP addresses is similar to the fake nick rule, if you are bouncing your IPs and found posting crap on the board then your nick and the IP will be banned. Etc etc, you need to think before you post, this is the unwritten rule, you continually piss people off, become unwelcome, a nuisance on the board or upset the “board harmony” then you are a “FUCKTARD” and will be dealt with accordingly..!We do not have the time, patience or the need to deal with this type of member… You WILL BE BANNED, very possibly, without reason or warning..!
The PIatNight.com Forums are a “living/breathing” entity that is in real-time. As such, it is quite impossible for the webhost, site owner and moderators to filter through each and every post. If you find a photo and/or post that you deem to be offensive, PLEASE e-mail us immediately at: webmaster@piatnight.com and we will do our best to accomodate your request for removal and/or modification.
