This page includes rules and guidelines for using the our forums. We assume good faith when dealing with violations; we will only warn or ban users who repeatedly or blatantly violate the rules. Administrators have the final say in modifying, interpreting, and enforcing these rules.
Note: If you observe someone breaking a rule or behaving in a questionable fashion, do not try to deal with it yourself. Alert a forum moderator or administrator by clicking "Report abuse" next to the post. Alternatively, contact a community manager.
Create one thread and only one thread for each subject.
Be sure to use the search function to see if a similar thread was already created.
Spam
Users who post forum spam will have their posts removed. If a post that is otherwise appropriate includes links considered to be spam, those links will be removed.
Images and other media
You can add images, such as a "screenshot" of your computer screen. Inappropriate media will be removed.
Sensitive information
Don't post any sensitive information. Moderators will remove personal information from posts to protect your privacy.
Links
Link to content rather than posting it in its entirety, unless you are the copyright holder or have permission from the copyright holder.
Do not post direct links to executable files. Moderators may remove these links to protect users from potentially malicious downloads. (You can post a link to the webpage that contains the file download but it may also be removed if a Moderator finds that the web page content could be harmful or if the web page link is spam.)
Language and conduct
Do not use obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or excessively violent language.
Do not harass, insult, taunt, provoke, demean, or personally attack other forum members. Be friendly even if others are not.
Do not excessively "bump" a thread (post simply to get a thread to the top of the list).
