Behavior on the forum
- Defamatory, racist, hateful, pornographic, illegal or insulting content must be avoided on this forum. You must respect the fact that people may have a different opinion than you. If you are in conflict with another member, please use PMs for that, this board is not an arena!
- Please, be patient. It's useless to up your topic every 2 minutes. Every member of this forum has a private life, so they can't always respond immediately.
- You must respect the moderators and administrators. They all work volontarily on this forum and they are human, not machines!
- If you received advertising, pornographic content or insults by PM, you must send the whole copy (including the headers) to a moderator by PM. Posting it in a topic is useless and will only cause conflicts between you and the one who sent you the PM.
- If you don't find your topic, it may have been moved to a more appropriate place
If you have a question, PM a moderator for that!
Avatar and Profile
- Avatar dimensions : Your avatar must not exceed 64 pixels x 64 pîxels. These limits are here to avoid scrolling for people who have a low screen resolution. You must also respect the limit of weight which is fixed to 300 KB. There are still people who have a low-speed connection, and heavy pictures take time to load for them.
- Your avatar is not an advertising banner, so avatars with your forum URL must be avoided.
- Sexually oriented and gore avatars must be avoided
- Your "Age/S" field is not an advertising space, so forum URL must be avoided
Posting
- Before you post : A search should be done to see if your topic has not been already posted.
- Topic titles : When you post, you must use a title related to your topic. Capitals should be avoided.
- Description of you topic : When you post, try to be clear and accurate about what you want to say. Don't hesitate to describe your topic. .
- Language on this forum : When you write in English, SMS (cell phone) style message, L3375P34K (leetspeak) and deliberate mistakes must be avoided. Non-English people, as well as English people, must be able to understand what you write, so put a minimum of care in your English, even if your English is not very good.
- Colors and capitals and size : When you write your message, please don't abuse capitals (it means that you shout), colors and bold. Re-sizing your text is also a bad idea. Overly large text ressembles screaming.
Colors and Bold text are reserved for moderation, therefore don't use them.
- Flood and off-topic : Flood must be avoided. One-word posts such like "lol", "rofl" or a single smiley must be avoided.
You must also avoid to post the same topic twice, it will not be faster for you to get a response.
- Advertising for your forum : Spamming for your board is not tolerated, even by PM. Put the address of your forum in your profile, so we will just have to click to see it.
- Other advertising : It is also forbidden to post advertising for money-related stuff.
Please abide by these rules, as there are checks in place to be sure they are not broken.
