Forum Rules
  1. Maintain posts within the topic discussed

    1. If you want to talk about something that is different from the topic of a thread, please start a new discussion thread.
    2. If a discussion gets off-topic, moderators/administrators may cut and move the posts to appropriate channels or threads. Hence we appeal to all members to ensure the discussions are kept within the topic.
    3. Discussion threads also go off track when people decide to start chatting. If you want to have a chat session, do it with the Private Messaging (PM) system provided or communicate by email or other chat/messaging applications on the Internet.


  2. Be Civil

    1. No attacks, threats, insults, name-calling or inflamed speech for the sake of argument.
    2. Personal arguments must be carried out away from the public discussion forum and dealt with in private. Please use the Private Messaging (PM) and email systems instead.
    3. If you feel you have privately received a threat via e-mail, we ask you to contact to appropriate legal authorities. The administrator may only issue warnings or remove participants based on their public posts to a forum within the website. If you receive private communication from another participant that causes you serious concern, you may communicate that to the moderator/administrator, but no action should be taken by the moderator/administrator to intervene in private disputes among individuals.
    4. Posts that are inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, sexually oriented, threatening, rude, mean, nasty, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law are not permitted. Members should contact the moderator/administrator via the report button or through the email and PM system.
    5. We expect long-standing ("veteran") members to understand and practice good behaviour and thus lead by example and assist other newer members the appropriate way to use the Forum.
    6. Any member posting a comment deemed to be of the above description or are deemed attempts to incite others into unconstructive and abusive arguments (as determined by the moderators/administrators) will first be warned by PM. A warning is deemed to be given once a PM is sent, regardless if the member has read the message or not. The warning may include a request to publicly apologise for the offending comment.
    7. The moderator/administrator may provide guidance (in a public post) to the member to further develop a practical sense of what is appropriate and what is not allowed.
    8. If the member refuses to apologise or attempts a second offence, the member shall be suspended for a period of time to be determined by the administrator.
    9. If the member attempts a third offence, the member will be banned by the administrator.


  3. Private Stays Private

    1. Forwarding private messages (PM) to the online forum is NOT allowed without the explicit permission of the original author. This includes private replies you may receive based on your public posts to the forum and other private or personal communication including e-mail communications.


  4. Items Not Allowed

    1. No Advertising of products or services on discussion channels. The website has provided specific areas for advertisements – please check the front page (Home) for these channels in order to post advertisements in the correct channels. Any advertisements in the wrong channels will be deleted by the administrator without prior warning.
    2. No chain letters. Any material that request the reader to post it to multiple recipients will be deemed a chain letter.
    3. No SPAM. Members should not post empty or unrelated messages simply to annoy or increase a member's post count. This determination is made by the forum Moderator or Administrator and is not up for discussion.
    4. No Pornographic Material. Any sexually oriented imagery or links to such content will not be tolerated.
    5. No illegal software or illegal content (which include pornography, music and videos). This includes hyperlinks to such illegal materials. Such posts will be edited or deleted by the administrator without any warning.
    6. No avatar abuse is allowed. This includes the use of offensive pictures. The offending member will lose the right to use an avatar.


  5. Textual Etiquette

    1. Don't quote the entire message that you're responding to, only the pertinent passage.
    2. Don't use all Capitals or uppercase letters in postings as this is equivalent to shouting and considered very rude.
    3. Please maintain short signatures in your postings. Do not include signatures that serve primarily to promote a product or service. Do not include abusive language or inflammatory comments in your signatures.


  6. Final word

    1. If a topic appears to be breaking one of the above rules, please use the report button or email. This will alert a channel moderator that the topic needs to be moderated. Do not abuse the report system such as using the report system to talk to the moderators.
    2. Anyone deemed to be disrupting the Forum for whatever reason will be dealt with accordingly. The administrators will try their best to maintain the platform for sincere discussions and will prevent any attempts to degrade or devalue the quality of the forum.
