Read When You Are New On The Forum

- Messages posted on the board -

-
Before you post : A search should be done to see if your questions have
not been already posted. You have a FAQ section where you can find
answers for general questions about board management


- Topic
titles : When you post your question or your problem, you must use a
title related to your problem/question. Words such as "Urgent", "SOS",
"Question", "Problem", "Hurry" are not tolerated. Capitals should also
be avoided.


- Language on this forum : When you write in
English, SMS (cell phone) style message, L3375P34K (leetspeak) and
deliberate mistakes must be avoided. Non-English people, as well as
English people, must be able to understand what you write, so put a
minimum of care in your English, even if your English is not very good
(eh, Godfather...lol? Wink )


- Colors and capitals : When you write your message, please don't abuse capitals (it means that you shout) or colors.
Some colors are reserved for moderation and light colors are hard to read for visually impaired people.


- Flood and off-topic : Flood must be avoided. One-word posts such like "lol", "rofl" or a single smiley must be avoided.
You must also avoid to post the same topic twice, it will not be faster for you to get a response.
As
long as you topic is not in the second page of the support section, it
is useless to up it. The minimun delay between two Ups is 24 hours.
If you make a mistake, please use the
at the top-right of your post, to avoid double-posting.


-
Advertising for your forum : Spamming for your board is not tolerated,
even by PM. If you post about a problem, give the address of your forum
ONLY if we ask you OR if it's really necessary to understand a problem.
Better : Put your forum address in your profile, so we will just have
to click on the "Forum" button to examine your board.


- Other advertising : It is also forbidden to post advertising for money-related stuff, many of our members are under 18.

-Behavior on the forum-

-
Defamatory, racist, hateful, pornographic, illegal or insulting content
must be avoided on this forum. You must respect the fact that people
may have a different opinion than you. If you are in conflict with
another member, please use PMs for that, this board is not an arena!

-
Please, be patient. It's useless to up your topic every 2 minutes (see
the point "Flood and Off-topic"). Every member of this forum has a
private life besides Forumotion, so they can't always respond
immediately.

- You must respect the moderators and administrators. They all work volontarily on this forum and they are human, not machines!

-
If you received advertising, pornographic content or insults by PM, you
must send the whole copy (including the headers) to a moderator by PM.
Posting it in a topic is useless and will only cause conflicts between
you and the one who sent you the PM.

- If you found an
Forumotion that doesn't respect the charter (can be seen when you
create a board), PM a moderator instead of creating a topic. That will
avoid undeliberate advertising.

Avatar and Profile

-
Avatar dimensions : Your avatar's width must not exceed 150 pixels and
its height must not exceed 200 pîxels. These limits are here to avoid
scrolling for people who have a low screen resolution. You must also
respect the limit of weight which is fixed to 300 KB. There are still
people who have a low-speed connection, and heavy pictures take time to
load for them.

- Your avatar is not an advertising banner, so avatars with your forum URL must be avoided.

- Sexually oriented and gore avatars must be avoided

- Your "Age/S" field is not an advertising space, so forum URL must be avoided
