FORUM CATEGORIES

Posters (especially new members) are required to start new threads or topics under its proper category or forum. Please double check the forum title where you are posting before making a post.

SPAMMING (sarap to.. )

1. Posting senseless and pointless posts just to ACQUIRE A NUMBER OF POSTS is considered spamming and is not allowed.
2. Try to keep the number of new threads to a minimum.
3. Multiple posts with the same content are considered as flooding and spamming.
4. The forums are separated into topics for the purpose of helping everyone find relevant materials. Posting the same thing to multiple threads only defeats that purpose.

Members found to be in violation of this rule will:

* have their messages deleted on all threads where it is encountered;
* be issued a warning via PM and/or email.

5. Further spamming by the member will result in that member being banned.
6. Remember, it's not the number of posts that matters - it's the substance. We prefer quality over quantity.

PRIVATE MESSAGES

1. PMing in excess or for no reason to the recipient is called PM spam and is not allowed.
2. Chain letters through Private Messages is forbidden.
3. Bashing, insulting or otherwise is also forbidden via PM and should be reported immediately

PERSONAL ATTACKS AND INSULTS

1. Posting PERSONAL ATTACKS, BASHING and gross personal insults are not allowed.
2. If you have a legitimate gripe with another board member that cannot be handled privately, say your piece on the board and if you get a response you can post again once. The ongoing flame wars serve no purpose and do not belong on the message boards.
