On Posting:

BEHAVIOUR/ATTITUDE: Avoid offensive/abusive language/behaviour on a personal level. If you choose to bring up personal issues at all, do so in a civilized manner, considering these are public forums.

LINKING/REFERRING: Hot-linking without permission is not nice, please consider this when linking to an external source. Provide some info about what is behind a link, so people can decide if they want to go there.

CONTENT: Do NOT post, link to, offer or ask for (probably) illegal or inappropriate material. This includes, but is not limited to: warez, cracks, copyrighted material, kiddieporn.

SPAM: Try to avoid spamming. Flooding the forum with irrelevant posts may seem funny for a while, but gets annoying really fast. Typically, if a reply spans multiple posts in order to make one word or sentence it qualifies as spam. Also abusing emoticons (smilies) can be considered spam.

OFF-TOPIC: Try to stay on-topic. If you have nothing to contribute to a certain subject, but still feel you HAVE TO post SOMETHING use the SEARCH button find an APPROPRIATE topic to relieve yourself in. Various topics have been created where posting random remarks or observations is perfectly acceptable.
