Welcome to Exodus Strength!

It is our hope that the members of the forums will help each other in providing motivation and information to those looking to reach their training, fitness, and health goals. To protect our members and the forums, the following rules are effective in all sections. We reserve the right to adjust or edit these rules at any time for any reason. Above all, have fun and good luck in all your fitness goals.

Forum Rules
• Rules apply to posts, private messages, and usernames, unless otherwise specified.
• Report posts or private messages that violate forum rules using the Report Button.
• Do not quote posts that violate forum rules.
• Treat other users, administrators, and moderators with respect.
• Moderator decisions and actions are not open to public discussion. Contact a moderator or an administrator privately to discuss these issues. Disrespect will not be tolerated.


The following are prohibited:
• Racist, sexist, or bigoted comments or slurs in any form (including images).
• Offensive, disgusting, aggressive, lewd, or derogatory language, posts, pictures, or PM's.
• E-fighting, excessive arguing, or harassment of other users.
• Overly long or disruptive images, text or format changes, trolling, or other blatant forum disruption.
• Death threats, threats of violence, and advocating or discussing suicide.
• Sending or requesting sexual images or other information which violates forum rules.
• Porn, gore, or nudity, even if drawn or edited, and porn discussion.
• Sexual discussion or explicit or suggestive images of individuals under the age of 18.
• Accusations of illegal drug (US law) use or steroids void of evidence.
• Collection of money for individual causes. Donation and charity causes must be approved by an administrator.
• Raids of other sites or sections of these forums.
• Attempting to distribute or acquire illegal substances (US law).
• Posting personal information. This includes but is not limited to: phone numbers, full names, physical addresses, IP addresses, emails, and social media sites.
• Utilizing multiple accounts to avoid a ban, including a permanent ban. Each user is allowed one account.
• Posting copyrighted material without permission from the copyright owner. This includes linking to illegal streams, torrent sites, or otherwise providing sources or methods of copyright infringement.
• Spam.
• Linking to sites that violate forum rules.
• Attempting to circumvent forum rules or assisting or encouraging others to do so.

Violation of any of these rules are subject to corrective action, up to and including permanent removal from the forums.


How do I dispute a ban or file a complaint against a moderator?

-Please follow the following steps prior to disputing ban and keep all disputes professional and courteous.
Step 1: Read the forum rules. If you do not think you posted content that violated forum rules proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Contact the moderator who issued the ban through private message. If the moderator will not lift the ban and you still feel that you have not violated forum rules proceed to step 3.
Step 3: Contact the forum admin, Manveer, through private message. Please provide a reason you do not feel the ban is warranted. It is rare that a ban will be overturned.
Step 4: Wait patiently, as the forum moderation and administration is done on an unpaid, voluntary basis and it may take a while to respond.

Exceptions to rules:
While it is understood that in one certain forum, i.e. “Shitposting”, there will be some insults flung back and forth, excessive harassment or insult is unwarranted. If a post is truly offensive or contains inappropriate (excessive gore, porn, etc.), it needs to be reported, as mods cannot be on call at all times. Since the forum at hand is also limited access, insulting other forum members behind their backs where they are unaware is improper and will be dealt with via warnings and removal from the access group. Basically, being an asshole in the Shitposting forum is acceptable, so long as you're a well-intentioned asshole that is a good community member outside of that forum and can handle reciprocity of your actions.
