We hereby expressly prohibit the posting of illegal, racist, pornographic, inhuman, commercial (products, competitions, foreign referrer URL's), protesting, mocking, immoral or other senseless / repulsive (spam etc.) contributions. The delimitation and classification of the facts is made at the dutiful discretion of the moderators responsible in each case and, furthermore, by the administrators. Corresponding contributions will be removed.
