Keep politics & Religion out of it, the forum is about all topics in World. That's about it, but if you want more, there's more below:
Before you start a new thread

  • First things first, choose your forum appropriately
  • Next, check there isn't a thread on the subject already

Starting your new thread

  • When starting threads, please try to title them as clearly and concisely as possible.
  • This next bit is really important - Don't just start your thread with a one-line comment or question or a link to another website or news story.
  • If you want people to discuss a news story, link to the story, summarize what the story is about and propose some areas of discussion or state your opinion.
  • This forum is a place for quality discussion - one-liner or link-only thread-starts are generally considered pretty lazy and usually end up in unsatisfying discussions and arguments about whether the thread should be deleted or not.

When replying to an existing thread

  • Please do not be personally rude even when people are really really annoying. Always try and argue the point not the person. If you get into a big fight with someone then sometimes it's hard to get out of the spiral. Flamewars never end well and we try to avoid them because sometimes people get cornered and go nuts and we have to boot them out. This is regrettable and (thankfully) rare.

Spamming

  • Multiple, duplicate threads/posts will be considered spamming.
  • You are allowed to advertise your website/product/services in ONE thread only.
  • Determination of spam is at the admin teams discretion and we hold the right to have the final say in the matter.
  • You may or may not be given a warning if you spam. After that the thread will be closed/deleted and the original poster potentially banned.
  • Any threads dealing with politics, religion, or are indecent/offensive/inflammatory/insulting will be closed.

In a nutshell:

  • Do not Spam
  • Do not troll on the board (See What is a Troll?)
  • Do not harass other board members
  • Don't rot threads
  • Don't post angry
  • Don't mistake inquiry for insult.
  • Posts with links to warez and/or piracy sites and/or content will be deleted. In some cases, the links only will be removed.
  • All posts not in English or any other language/script will be deleted.
  • All messages posted in CAPS will be deleted.

Thanks, We look forward for your co-operation to have a caring and sharing community here.
