    &lt;u&gt;
      &lt;b&gt;NO FLAMING OR INTOLERANCE&lt;/b&gt;
    &lt;/u&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;Flaming or bashing of any member on the board will not be tolerated at
all. Posts will be deleted or topics will be closed. This could also
lead to banning of your account as well.&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;Disagreeing with someone else&amp;#39;s view is fine. But we do not permit
intolerance at these boards. We are a modification community. Other
people look at our stretched piercing and think we are freaks. So let&amp;#39;s
not look at our own and call them names. Intolerant posts will be
deleted, and possible banning of your member account.&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" size="2"&gt;
      &lt;u&gt;
        &lt;b&gt;USE THE REPORT ABUSE LINK&lt;/b&gt;
      &lt;/u&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;If you see a post that you feel is violating one of these rules, feel
free to use the Report Abuse link at the bottom right of all posts. It will send us an email and we&amp;#39;ll take a look at it and
handle it if need be.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;u&gt;
      &lt;b&gt;STAY ON TOPIC&lt;/b&gt;
    &lt;/u&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;Posts may be be deleted when they get off topic. If threads get too off topic posts may be split out into a new topic.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;u&gt;
      &lt;b&gt;DO NOT REVIVE DEAD OLD THREADS&lt;/b&gt;
    &lt;/u&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;If a thread goes more than a month without posts, it&amp;#39;s probably dead. So please don&amp;#39;t revive it unless the post is absolutely necessary and relevant to the thread. Reviving old threads with a simple &amp;quot;agreement&amp;quot; will probably be locked. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;u&gt;
      &lt;b&gt;DO A SEARCH BEFORE POSTING&lt;/b&gt;
    &lt;/u&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;Use the search to see if your issue has already been posted and
resolved. This will help reduce duplicate topics over the same subject.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;
      &lt;u&gt;START ONLY ONE THREAD PER PROBLEM&lt;/u&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;/b&gt;Do not post the same problem in different Forums, once is enough. You
will not get a quicker response by submitting a problem in different
forums. Post your problem in the forum you think best fits your problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;
      &lt;u&gt;KEEP YOUR THREAD UPDATED&lt;/u&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;Please let us know if the status of the problem changes, if new
information become available or if the problem as been solved and what
the solution was. This will benefit everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

      &lt;u&gt;HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS FOR JEWELRY&lt;/u&gt;
    &lt;/b&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;color:black;"&gt;Bodyartforms
does not condone the use of random household objects as use for stretching or
wearing for body jewelry instead of actual body jewelry. Just because it fits
doesn&amp;#39;t mean you should wear it. Body jewelry is specifically designed and made
out of materials to wear in the body for long periods of time. You won&amp;#39;t get
advice about this on the boards, and don&amp;#39;t advise others to use these methods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;DO IT YOURSELF, PIERCINGS, TATTOOS,
SCALPELLING, SCARIFICATION ECT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&amp;#39;Verdana&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Bodyartforms does not condone self
piercing, tattooing, scalpelling, scarification, ECT, period. These boards are
not available to get advice on how to do it yourself, so don&amp;#39;t bother asking.
Go to a piercer/tattooer/modification artist/professional and get it done. If you don&amp;#39;t have the money, save it
up, then go to a professional to get it done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

            &lt;u&gt;KEEP IT LEGAL&lt;/u&gt;
            &lt;br /&gt;
          &lt;/b&gt;Do not post copyrighted material without the express written permission
of the author. Do not use the forums to encourage conduct that would
constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or
otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law or
regulation.Do not post links to offensive, warez, software cracks or porn sites. Links to these types of sites will be removed.&lt;/font&gt;
