Forum Posting Ruels
Feb. 20, 2008
These rules are made not to be forced rules but to ensure the future of the forum and make the whole forum attractive to as many people as possible, there are a few simple rules we expect you to follow.
1. Do not post, request or link to keys, key generators, cracks, warez, illegal software sites, crack search engines results or illegal ftp sites.
2. Adult content is forbidden and all threads which are deemed to be adult in nature by a Moderators and Administrators will be deleted. This includes avatars and sigs; which some under this rule will be removed and the members ability to post an avatar and/or signature removed.
3. Do not post topics where the primary intention is to promote your personal site, any posts of this nature will be deleted. Also to further expand on this any links posted are subject to removal at a mods/admins discretion. Do however feel free to place a link to your site in your signature as long as the link does not controvene any of the other rules of these forums. This rule doesn't apply to threads started by admins, designated for promoting websites.
4. When posting a topic, make sure you choose an appropriate and distinct title. We insist that the topic title makes clear what your topic is about. For instance: If you are using the topic title "Adsense" as an affiliate marketing program it will go under the Adsense section, If you are discussing adsense as a product of Google then it will go under search engines.
5. When you have a question or need help, use the search function first. It could be that your problem or question is already been handled in the forum.
6. Administrators and Moderators control their sections as they see fit and their decisions are final. Arguing over decisions or making polls or topics regarding admin/mod decisions will not get a decision overturned, it will however get you banned and your thread deleted. Similarly editing/flaming mod/admin edits to your posts WILL result in an instant ban.
7. Flaming and trolling is not allowed in any section of the board. Political and religious topics usually lead to flame wars, therefore you are advised to try to stay clear of these discussions. There is no place for "ISMS" on this board, that is racism, facism, etc. It gives moderators more work by deleting the posts and persistent offenders will be banned.
8. Do not post topics regarding politics or religion anywhere in the forum. Break this rule and your thread/post will be deleted and you will receive a warning.
9. Extreme/Excessive foul language will not be permitted. This includes cursing, swearing and abbreviations.
10. Administrators and Moderators are really working hard looking after the forum, so please don't annoy them with PMs for help etc, as you will find your request ignored... Just post it in the correct section.
11. Signature limitations, No offensive content like porn, racism and foul language is allowed. Referral affiliate links are strongly forbidden. The maximum permitted height of your signature is 3 lines. No images or cookie requests allowed.
12. Font Restrictions, Do NOT use excessively large font sizes, as it is considered to be "shouting" and will be edited back down to the default size by the moderators.
13. Identity Theft DO NOT impersonate anyone whom you are not, regardless of who the other individual may be. Identity theft is illegal and will not be tolerated.
14. Multiple Posts DO NOT post the same topic in multiple forums. If you are unsure of which forum a thread should go under, just state that in your post, and a moderator will move the thread to the correct forum. Multiple posts are unnecessary and will be deleted. DO NOT post the same question multiple times in multiple threads in the same forum. If no one responds to your question or request, just post a reply to the same message thread again to bring the message to the top of the list so folks notice it.
Please report any member whom you feel to be in violation of these rules to a moderator or Site Admin immediately.
Usually this is how things will go depending on how bad whatever you did was :
1st Offense : Warning
2nd Offense : Warning
3rd Offense : Suspension of account for 60 days.
For persistent and or deliberate rule-breakers your account will be suspended. That means you are no longer welcome on these forums and your account will no longer function. If you re-register, your new account will be deleted immediately and any new threads/posts will automatically be removed, regardless of their nature.
Please note that your continued positive participation at our site is highly appreciated.
