This page includes rules and guidelines for using the forum. We will assume good faith when dealing with violations; we will only warn or ban users who repeatedly or blatantly violate the rules.
Administrators have the final say in modifying, interpreting, and enforcing these rules.
Note: If you observe someone breaking a rule or behaving in an otherwise questionable fashion, alert a moderator or an administrator by clicking "Report abuse" next to the post. Do not try to deal with them yourself.
Sensitive Information
Do not post any sensitive information. Moderators will remove personal information from posts to protect your privacy.
Spam
Members who post forum spam will have their posts removed. If a post that is otherwise appropriate includes links considered to be spam, those links will be removed.
Links
Link to content rather than posting it in its entirety, unless you are the copyright holder or have permission from the copyright holder.
Moderators may remove these links to protect users from potentially malicious downloads. (You can post a link to the webpage that contains the file download but it may also be removed if a Moderator finds that the web page content could be harmful or if the web page link is spam.)
Language and conduct
Members are asked to post only in English as this is an English speaking community.
Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Members are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting. Users consistently posting to the wrong forum may be given a warning.
Do not use obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or excessively violent language.
Do not harass, insult, taunt, provoke, demean, or personally attack other forum members. Be friendly even if others are not.
Do not excessively "bump" a thread (post simply to get a thread to the top of the list).
