* We do not allow posting of defamatory, obscene, threatening, profane and hateful messages. The moderators reserve the right to judge which posts fall under this category.
* We will not hesitate to ban or disable user accounts of offending posters. Likewise, violation of the posting guidelines below will also result to punishments.
Thread Starting Guidelines
* Lurk before you post. Check if the topic you want to start already exists before starting a new thread for it.
* When starting threads, use the proper title format. Remember to use proper capitalization, spelling, grammar and punctuation. Refrain from using ALL CAPS, *F_a_N_(_Y~T e X +* or txt msg 4mat in thread titles as they make the thread titles difficult to read.
* Be specific. When entering the thread title, use specific and descriptive subject lines so that the other members will know what your thread is all about without opening it.
Posting Guidelines
* Please do not spam. Spam can be defined as:
Posting one or two words (ie. “up for ”), images or smilies for the sake of posting.
Posting more than three consecutive posts in the span of four hours, or quoting yourself.
* OFF-Topic posting: This includes promotional posts that has no relevance to the thread topic.
* Do not abuse font properties. Use only the bold/italic/font tags to emphasize something, not in your entire post. And don't enlarge your fonts to make your point; this will only serve to irritate other people.
* Insert spaces after punctuation marks. Always insert a space after a punctuation mark to make your post easy to read. But do not abuse ellipses. Ellipses are composed of only 3 or 4 dots and are used only when something is left out of a sentence, not as substitute for periods or a design cliché.
* Use private messages. If your post would only concern a number of people, it is best to send them a private message instead so as not to disturb and deviate from the flow of the discussion.
* No flooding. If you're the last poster in a thread, edit your previous post instead of posting messages consecutively. You are only allowed to post up to three consecutive posts before it becomes flooding.
* Do not bash other members in any way, shape or form. If you have a problem with a member, either PM them about it, or report them to a moderator.
* Do not discuss illegal activities, such as illegal file-sharing. This could get the board into serious trouble.
* Refrain from posting full text of articles. If you find an article that you'd like to share with others, just post a synopsis of the article then include a link to the article. Don't forget to cite the source so as to minimize risk of copyright lawsuit.
