Forum Rules (Read before Posting)
by Digitalocksmith on Tue 25 Dec - 0:41
1. Do not double post, we don't always answer in time but we always get around to reading them so be patient. Post in the English language in all instances on this board unless the staff permits it in unique circumstances.
2. Before requesting support or anything else, use the 'search' feature listed at the top of this forum page to see if someone else has already covered it.
3. Do not reply to your own post to bump it up in the list. (This will hurt you in the Malware forum as we start from the oldest post and then work to the newest.)
4. Never request anything by private message or email, this makes no sense. Administrators and Moderators are instructed to ignore PM technical support requests.
5. Do not advertise your own website by posting the link, this will not be tolerated. No advertising of any form is allowed by members, be it through PM or Signatures.
6. You are not allowed to advertise your site (Not affiliated with GeekPolice Community) in your signature by text link, picture link or any other shape or form.
7. Do not post spam, 'pay per click' links or links that a user will profit from in any form or manner, doing this may get you banned.
8. Do not ridicule inexperienced users. Do not be abusive, threatening or intimidating in any way towards other members and staff.
9. Always try to be polite when asking something.
10. Conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times. (No swearing allowed)
