THE SAFETY CAFE FORUM RULES

1. Posts are to be made in the relevant forum.

2. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.

3. Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes offering products and services (charged and free), installation services, solicitation etc. Recruiting members for your own benefit is not permitted and is also considered spam. Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed. Users may provide contact details and a summary of their business products and/or services in the 'Introductions' section only. Business Information found in other forums will be merged into the user's introduction post.

4. Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.

5. Members are asked only to post in English, as this is an English speaking community.

6. Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts. Users consistently abusing this will be warned.

7. Members should use an appropriate, descriptive subject when posting a new topic. Examples of bad subjects include; "Help me!", "I'm stuck!", "I've got an error!", etc. Examples of good subjects include; "Getting a 'TABLE FULL' error upon login", "Cannot restore a backup", etc.

8. The moderating, support and other teams reserve the right to edit, remove or put on moderation queue any post at any time. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Team Members and not users.

9. The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of private messaging.
