Watchuseek / Ball Watch Forum Rules & Guidelines:
1 Members will be kind and courteous, and respectful to other members and the moderators. No direct or indirect personal attacks or insults of any kind will be allowed. Posts which antagonize, belittle or humiliate other members and/or the moderators will not be tolerated, nor will racism, sexism, bigotry or foul language. Members who have personal issues with other members and moderators must resolve their differences outside the forum.
2 No discussion of grey market or non-authorized dealers. No discussion of discounts.
3 No discussion of customer service issues, as they should be directed through the appropriate Ball Watch Company, i.e. USA, Singapore, HK, and will not be allowed to be posted on the forum.
4 Comments or concerns should be constructive in nature and to serve a purpose other than to disparage the brand in general.
5 No sales posts or "Want to Buy/Trade" posts of any kind. All such posts will be immediately deleted. There are Sales Corners at WatchUseek for this express purpose. If you have a special offer you would like to make directly to forum members, e-mail the moderator(s) first to discuss it.
6
Linking to live auctions is permitted for discussion purposes only. Links to incorrect, misleading or fraudulent auctions are also permitted, provided that the sole intention is to warn other members. Links posted by the seller will be treated as sales posts and immediately deleted. There is a special eBay forum to announce your eBay auctions.
7
Please limit off-topic posts, and mark them clearly as such ("OT" in the subject line, and/or the OT or coffee cup icon). Please do not initiate or participate in political or religious debates. Also, consider whether WatchUseek's Public Forum or The Café might be a more appropriate place for your post.
8
Images in posts and signatures containing weapons of any kind (including, but not limited to, guns and knives) are not allowed. There is an exception for pictures of a documentary nature which illustrate the actual use of watches, and which are in keeping with the general theme of the forum in which they are posted. Staged or gratuitous pictures containing weapons, however, are prohibited without exception.
Moreover, any picture that would not be suitable for viewing at an average workplace should not be posted here, i.e. nudity and other adult themes are unacceptable.
Please generally exercise discretion when posting pictures in keeping with the kind and courteous spirit of the forum. In case of doubt, please contact the forum moderators prior to posting in order to avoid disputes and misunderstandings.
Any posting of images is subject to review, and the determination of what is acceptable is at the sole discretion of the moderators and the management of Watchuseek. They will take appropriate action should any picture be deemed to be offensive or aggressive, and their decisions are final.
9
No discussions or pictures of replica watches, or links to replica watch sites unless previously approved by a moderator or the site owner. In general, any posts that involves the discussion, encouragement, or solicitation of any kind of crime or criminal activity are prohibited.
10
Don't engage in dialogue with a troll or a spammer. Report them to the moderators.
11
Moderators' and the administrator's decisions are final. If you are in doubt about a post, please contact a moderator before you submit your post. Membership of the forum can be revoked by the forum administration without any reason being given.
Watchuseek reserves the right to remove, at any time, any or all of your mailing list privileges if Watchuseek determines, at Watchuseek's sole discretion, that you have violated our standards of behavior.
12
Our policy regarding links inside signatures:
1. links to or naming of personal and non -commercial websites/pages/content are permitted;
2. links to or naming of commercial wesbites/pages/content are only permitted to our sponsors;
3. reciprocal links are permitted only upon request and with the approval of the owner, Ernie Romers.
4. Signatures should not contain religious texts, political statements, sexist remarks or any other offensive text. Final arbiter of such signatures is the owner, Ernie Romers.
13 Watchuseek encourages and welcomes the introduction of new watch related ventures!
However, out of respect for our valued site sponsors, we request that you first contact the Site Administrator prior to posting any new or potential business launches.
Lastly, Watchuseek is owned, and operated by Ernie Romers, not the forum participants, nor the moderators. The volunteer moderators are here to administer forum policy, and to provide help, within reason.
Violation of these rules may result in disciplinary measures, which may ultimately include being banned from Watchuseek.
We wish you a pleasant stay and look forward to your contributions!
Best regards,
Ball Watch Co.
