The Racine Wide Web and the Racine Community Forum have put the following rules in place to ensure enjoyment of this forum by all users. Our goal is to make sure our forums contain quality content that Racine citizens find useful. Users who violate the rules will receive a warning. Users who continue to violate the rules of posting messages in our forum will be entered into a database of Banned Users. This information will include your IP address (a unique number assigned by your Internet provider), so we can track you—and ban you—even if you post under multiple names and/or email addresses. Posting using someone else's alias is strictly prohibited. The staff of Racine Wide Web reserves the right to remove any post, topic or person for any reason we see fit.
