Guidelines. 1) Try not to be an ass, it's not gonna help the board and can get you banned.
2) Please do a search before making a new topic, there might already be a thread about what you want to discuss.
3) Please capitalize and attempt to use correct spelling and punctuation. This is a pet-peeve of mine and will get you a warning if you consistently ignore it.
4) Pay attention to the forum you post in...please try to be on topic, when in doubt, General is never wrong.
5) When making a technical inquiry, one should include as much technical information as possible, especially in the subject line.
6) Contributors are asked to stay on-topic.
7) Contributors should avoid double posting and Crossposting.
8) To avoid appearing self-absorbed, one should respond to topics started by others more often than starting topics of one's own. If you come here to pimp your stuff and never contribute anything else, you may just find your stuff gone.
9) Contributors should avoid the use of all CAPITAL LETTERS in posts. ALL CAPS is considered "shouting" and causes readability issues.
10) One is advised not to resurrect a very old topic if nothing significant will be added. This practice is known as revival, bumping or Necroing. Bumping is a case-by-case thing...relevant posts will not usually be seen as bumping.
11) One should try to refrain from lashing back at a poorly behaving member or participating in a flame war; instead, notify the Moderators, fmra or Sano of the event.
12) When quoting a previous post, one should only include the relevant portion of that post. Contributors are requested to keep in mind that their audience can likely still see the message they are quoting on the same screen and can read it again if need be.
13) Signatures should generally have a maximum height of 100 pixels, as to not cause clutter.
14) Members are regulated to one account and one account only.
15) DO NOT, under any circumstances use the Quick Reply feature when responding or quoting, it causes issues with the forum appearance.
16) If you can't think of anything to post other that "That's great!", "Awesome!" or something similar, then please, don't post.
These guidelines may be amended as needed.
