Forum rules

• Keep all posts on-topic.
• All posts must be in English.
• Do not pretend to be somebody else. Your account will be deleted if found to be in breach of this rule.
• Do not discuss illegal activities. Our server is hosted in the USA and so is subject to US law. Please do not expose us to any unnecessary legal liability.
• Check that your question has not been answered anywhere else on the site. Use the search feature.
• Post your comment/question to the most appropriate place. Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved. Do not cross-post the same question to multiple places.
• Use your own words. If you wish to use the words of somebody else, quote them, citing the source. Plagiarism is unethical and is illegal in many countries.
• Choose an appropriate subject line. Try to summarise the problem briefly in the subject, and elaborate in the message itself. Repeat the subject in the body if it will make things clearer. Do not use all caps and do not add false information just to get attention (e.g. ;read this or you will be arrested;). An example of a bad subject would be "HELP ME". Do not use a URL as a thread title.
• Include as much information as you can when seeking help. Nobody will be able to help you if you don't give sufficient detail.
• No useless posts. This includes: Thread bumping, useless one liners, Flamewars, Trolling and Spamming.
