To stay on MindForge you must follow all the network rules. Repeated failure to follow these rules will result in a the ban from the access to the network.

If a rule isn’t clear in a certain situation, the network staff will consider what is the most appropriate decision to solve the issue. Please, don’t believe you can avoid these rules by interpreting them in your own way.
