Language

We are an English language forum and all posts to the message boards should be in English. Short phrases or quotes in foreign languages are permissible if relevant to the topic under discussion and the section of the forum. Please remember that many of our members are not native speakers of English, so avoid the use of textspeak, unexplained abbreviations and excessive jargon to ensure a wider understanding of your posts.

Registration rules

Contributing to this forum requires registration. Certain information is mandatory - such as a name and a valid email address. The personal details which you provide on registration will not be disclosed to third parties.

  • Do not use an inappropriate username (vulgar, offensive).
  • Do not use a temporary email address, your account may be blocked/rejected/deleted after periodic review (we do not send spam, all technical messages can be turned off in your profile).
  • Do not share your account credentials with other people or sites.
  • You are prohibited from having more than one account = instant ban for all accounts.
  • Keep member profile, avatar and signature clean and appropriate.

Forum rules

Moderation

Moderators may remove or modify any post submitted for any reason, with or without explanation. Requests for posts to be removed or modified will be undertaken only at the discretion of the moderators. Forum moderators may also issue infraction points for violations of the rules or disruptive behaviour. Your account's access may be limited based on these actions. Infraction points remain valid for a period of 3 months, after which time points expire. The accumulation of 10 active infraction points results in the offending member being banned from the forum. Moderators can reverse infractions if warranted, but they are under no obligation to do so.

No discussion of moderation is permitted on the public message boards. If you have a question or a problem with a moderation action, please contact the moderator directly via the private "Conversation" system. Please signal a problem with an individual post using the "Report" button – the small triangular caution sign in the bottom left corner of the message box.

Advertising

Advertising of any sort is limited to the "Marketplace" section. Please note that the following are considered "advertising".

  • Self-solicitation (offering of one's own goods or services, whether spontaneously or in response to a query or discussion on the message boards).
  • Spontaneous recommendations of third party goods or services other than in response to a direct query from a forum member.

Rules

  • Do not repeat already published programs and others' posts.
  • Send messages such as "thanks for the information" or "me, too" to individuals with private "Conversation" system – not to the entire forum.
  • Do not post messages such as "password/link?" or "give me a password/link".
  • Bumping your thread is allowed if you have something of value to add, however, consider editing the topic instead of adding a new post to it.
