Members
are asked to not act as “back seat
moderators”. If members note an issue
which contravenes something in this
policy document they are welcome to bring it to the attention of a member of
the
Moderator Team. Please use the
“post report” feature to report
posts. Do not respond to such
topics yourself. Members who constantly “act” as moderators
may be warned.
Members
should remember this board is aimed
at a general audience. Posting
pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be
tolerated and will lead to a warning.

Members
are asked only to post in English, as
this is an English speaking community. If you don't understand English, use the
country flag at the page bottom to
modify to your country language.
Members
should respect the bandwidth of other
users and sites. The use of inline ([IMG][/IMG]) image tags pointing to
data stored on third party
systems for which the user has
not received permission to link
to may be removed.
Members should post in a way which is consistent
with "normal writing". That is users
should not post excessive numbers of
emoticons, large, small or coloured
text, etc. Similarly users should not
SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.
Users consistently abusing this
will be warned.
Members
should use an appropriate, descriptive
subject when posting a new topic. Examples of bad subjects include; "Help
me!", "I'm stuck!", "I've got an error!",
etc. Examples of good subjects include;
"I'm having a problem in installing my
PBNL", "Cannot restore a backup",
etc.
Spam is not
tolerated here under any circumstance.
Recruiting members for your own
projects (moderators, designers,
professional MOD work, etc.) is not
permitted and is also considered spam. Users posting spam will be warned and
their post removed.
The
moderating, support and other teams
reserve the right to edit, remove or put
on moderation queue any post at any time. Please note that currently every
post is automatically placed in the
moderation queue which is visible only
to the head admin and will be
approved/disapproved
according to the present Rules. The determination of what is
construed as indecent, vulgar,
spam, etc. as noted in these
points is up to Head Admin and not
users.
The above forum rules where
applicable also apply to private
messaging. Abuse of the private
messaging system may lead to
warnings (as above) and/or the
revocation of private messaging.
