General Rules:
1. Do not spam or self-promote in the forums.
These forums define spam as unsolicited advertisement for goods, services, and/or other web sites or posts with little, no, or completely unrelated content.
Do not spam the forums with links to your site or product, or try to self-promote your website, business or forums etc. Doing so is a waste of time.
Your account will be banned permanently and your posts will be deleted.
Spamming also includes sending private messages to a large number of different users.
However, please note that there is one exception to the self-promotion rule. You may promote any original works of literature in the Literature Review Forum.
2. No bumping.
This is also considered spam.
3. Do not post "Free " threads.[/b]
Posting pyramid scams (such as free iPods, LCDs etc.) is forbidden. All such posts/signatures will be edited or deleted. Any new users posting scams will be banned permanently; contributing users will either be warned or temporarily banned.
4. Do not cross post questions.[/b]
Please refrain from posting the same question in several forums. There is normally one forum which is most suitable in which to post your question.
If you're not sure where to post, ask a moderator first.
5. Do not post copyright-infringing material.[/b]
Do not upload, attach, or otherwise post any copyrighted material which you are not free to redistribute (subject to the licensing terms of the specific item). If you have a question about having permission to post or attach a specific item, please ask a moderator.
We do not condone nor accept posts pertaining to illegal activities such as hacking, cracking, warez, or spam.
Any posts or threads found in violation of this rule will be edited or deleted, and the poster warned or possibly banned by staff.
6. Do not post "offensive" posts, links, or images.[/b]
Do not post anything which is offensive, hateful, racist, sexist, discriminatory, obscene, vulgar or in violation of local or international laws.
7. Do not PM users asking for help.
Do not send private messages to any users asking for help. If you need help, make a new thread in the appropriate forum. If you're that desperate (that you are unable to figure out how to do that on your own), then it's time to pay for help.
8. Remain respectful of other users, moderators and administrators at all times.[/b]
All posts should be professional and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective.
However, you are not free to attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle them or the quality of this community. It does not matter what title or power you hold in these forums, you are expected to obey this rule. Doing otherwise will get your account banned temporarily, or permanently, if the situation becomes severe enough.
For example, phrases such as "shut up, idiot," are indicative of problematic posts and should be reported. Suggested alternatives include "I disagree with what you said for the following reasons..."
Please remain mature and thoughtful at all times.
9. Literacy is expected at all times, in every one of the forums and sub-forums.
10. Do not make us add more rules.[/b]
We want to keep this forum open and as lax as possible. Please do not force us to create more restrictions, as this pleases nobody and only makes things more difficult for the rest of us.
No one is exempt from any of these rules.
