11. Don't Double Post. When using Internet forums it annoys
other users when you post the same message more than once, in more than on discussion
thread. If you make a post and no one replies, then leave it at that. Reposting
the same message or slightly edited versions of the same message will not earn
you any respect from other forum users, and in fact it may earn you warnings
from the moderator.
12. Do Search Before Posting. Before posting a
question or asking for help on a particular topic, do use the forum search
option to make sure this question has not already been asked and answered by
other users. Even if your question does not appear in the thread list, it may
still be available as an archived topic in
the forum.
13. No pseudonyms allowed in your display name.
14. Only a registered gmail account holder is qualified.
15. Membership is either by invitation, referral or under having a previous engagement contact with the administrators of this forum. This means, this forum is exclusive.
The rules are clear, and easy to follow. These are only in place to ensure our group is a fun place to be, and a comfortable atmosphere for all.
