1. Read all the stickies all the stickies and use the search engine before posting, this will keep the forum clean of repeat posts and unnecessary garbage.


2. We do not make 'bombs here', and we do not use the word. Bombs are designed to harm, we are Chemists in the study of energetic materials for the purposes of pyrotechnic displays or feats of engineering.


3. 'Pressure Bombs', e.g hydrochloric acid/aluminium, pool chlorine/alcohol, bicab soda/vinegar are prohibited items. They are unpredictable, dangerous to the user and the public, and *****g as piss.


4. Don't necro post without good reason, if someone has been innactive for two years don't make a post telling them to read a sticky that was made a month ago. A thread is considered dead when it has fallen off the front page.

5. Spelling and grammar, not that hard people and it makes a lot of difference if your expecting positive feed back, if you do struggle get Mozzila it has a spelling check, and for chemical equations it is a must.Two very different substances
C6H12O4 Acetone peroxide
C2H4O3 Glycolic Acid

6. Please guys I know at times its difficult to restrain the urge but can you not flame, troll and abuse other members.

7. Being ignorant of the rules will account for more ban time.

8. I do not appreciate post whores, so double posting or adding to a post things that are brief and uninformative is not tolerated.

At times there may not be a rule to support certain situations but it will come under common sense so If I feel in anyway that you have done something wrong you will suffer the consequences.

This may seem hard but having a positive attitude will bring back this board.

The banning length will be given as I judge necessary at the time, so keep it clean guys.

I don't mind arguing seeing I most probably will be apart of it but keep it factual.
